About me
Thomas Kolster is a frontrunner and one of the most recognised thinkers globally where marketing, business and sustainability meet. He continuously challenges the status-quo with his vocal, and often provocative, views on values, purpose, and leadership. In an over-crowded do-good market, people don’t buy your values or your “why”, but rather who you can help them become.
Written two books: Goodvertising & The Hero Trap

Judged top-awards such as Jury President at D&AD and Jury at Cannes Lions.
