Keith Reinhard Is Class "Godparent" at the Berlin School of Creative Leadership -- Starting November 9, 2008
Keith Reinhard, Chairman Emeritus of DDB Worldwide and member of the Berlin School Board of Governors is coaching and mentoring participants during the 80-day program beginning November 9, 2008. Keith will also oversee the design of the Executive MBA program for "his" class and personally attend sessions to ensure excellence with a focus on leadership of the creative communication industries.
The unique Berlin School Godparent Program now formalizes the example set by founding Berlin School President Michael Conrad, who regularly participates in Executive MBA program classes contributing to discussion and offering feedback. Each upcoming class will now be appointed a highly accomplished creative leader from the various communication industries. Another fresh and different idea at the Berlin School to successfully help turn great creatives into great creative leaders.
Recognized as one of the advertising and marketing industries’ giants, Keith Reinhard rose from the creative ranks to lead and build DDB Worldwide, one of the largest global advertising agency networks in the world. Acknowledged as one of the industry's most creative multinational networks, DDB has won more Grand Prix awards at the Cannes Lions Festival than any other agency. In 1986, Reinhard formed Omnicom, one of the world's largest advertising and marketing services holding companies. In addition to being a creative leader, Keith is a civic leader, serving on the boards of many organizations that promote the arts and the common good.
“I am very excited we can launch this wonderful idea with Keith. His wisdom, culture, warmth and depth of experience will help shape the next generation of creative leaders around the globe,” said Michael Conrad, President of the Berlin School of Creative Leadership. “Keith had a big impact in establishing the Berlin School, now he will have even more impact on the quality of the class.”
