Started by his deep passion for sports and automotive, Klaus Kneist is pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling with his commercials. As an artistic director, he is never satisfied with the ordinary or what has "always been done that way“, but constantly brings in new ideas and likes to try things out before they become a trend.
