December 7, 2022 – As the new year begins, the next chapter will unfold for the digital agency group, which now employs over 160 people. Founders Timo Weltner and Stephan Sigloch have brought Lukas Pierre Bessis, a proven digital futurist, on board at DigitalNativeAlliance.
Lukas Pierre Bessis holds the newly created position of “futurist” or, in modern German-English, “future scientist.” Through keynote presentations at events and for clients, as well as reports across various channels on the digital future and digital trends, he is tasked with bringing the brand—launched a year ago—to life, attracting new clients for the group and its brands NETFORMIC, KlickPiloten, ORCAYA, and CODA.TECH, and expanding brand awareness.
This move is a logical next step in building a strong, overarching umbrella brand as part of the customer-centric multi-brand strategy to which the two founders are committed. “We’re thrilled to welcome Lukas, a true expert who, with his ability to think outside the box, will bring entirely new ideas to both our internal team and our customers,” said Timo Weltner and Stephan Sigloch, the founding duo of DigitalNativeAlliance.
About Lukas Pierre Bessis:
After completing his studies in communication education (Certified Speaker / Certified Speech Coach), Lukas Pierre Bessis worked as a creative director in the advertising industry for over 15 years. During this time, he focused intensively on brainstorming, methods of idea development, and neuroscience. In 2015, he published the book *Kill Your Agency* (Haufe), in which he described the results of his studies in a method called the “Creative Effectiveness Process.”
Thanks to the book’s great success, he became a sought-after speaker.
When asked, “Could your method for developing ideas also be applied to the digital transformation of industry?” he replied, “Yes, I just need to better understand the possibilities of digital transformation.” And so his work as a futurist for diconium and later for the P3 Group began with trips to Silicon Valley, China, Finland, Portugal, Sweden, France, and more. In his search for the future, he meets with scientists working on fundamental research. He meets with established companies that explain their visions and strategies to him, and he reports on conventions and conferences. With his visionary and inspiring keynote speeches, he offers impressive and forward-looking insights into the work and achievements of leading researchers, technologists, and startups that have the potential to positively transform humanity, the world, and life itself for all of us.
Through well over 200 presentations, Lukas Pierre Bessis has informed and inspired people, changed mindsets, and supported companies in their transformation.
