Branko Pfeiffer
I haven’t climbed Everest or discovered a lost city, but I did cross the Atlantic from Europe to America chasing bigger ideas—and accidentally found a refrigerator large enough to rent out as a studio apartment.
I’m Branko Pfeiffer, a Creative Director with 15+ years leading and inspiring diverse teams across Europe and the U.S. I’ve led brand and creative for Ad Agencies, SBC, American Signature Furniture, Value City Furniture, and Designer Looks (Schottenstein brands, in the same orbit as DSW and American Eagle), building campaigns designed to do two things at once: captivate and convert.
I blend strategic thinking with hands-on craft, delivering everything from punchy digital to cinematic TV. Along the way I’ve collaborated with the Magnolia Home team to align co-brand creative with Joanna Gaines’ signature vision, partnered with Andrew Martin (UK) on a Value City Furniture store rebrand, and created award-winning work for brands like OhioHealth, Black+Decker, The Home Depot, and Designer Looks—earning 9+ ADDYs (including Best of Show) and multiple Prism Awards.
Awards are shiny, but the real goal is simple: make work that sparks joy, drives results, and causes just enough competitive envy to keep things interesting.
Top Skills (a.k.a. the stuff I actually do)
Fresh Concepts
Multi-channel campaigns that fuse modern UX, generative AI, and storytelling into work people want to click, watch, and remember.

Problem-Solving
High quality, smart constraints, sharp outcomes. I can make a lot happen with less than “a lot.”

Leadership
I build environments where ideas thrive, feedback doesn’t sting, and collaboration isn’t just a word on a poster.

Digital Expertise
UX, e-commerce, and AI tools from LLMs to GenAi—plus the judgment to know when to use them and when to step away slowly.

Adaptability
I move fast, learn faster, and don’t get precious about iteration—because the best work usually shows up on draft seven.
