Generalists are the new specialists

Christian Acker is a hybrid-creative.

Less pop.

More culture.

Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, this is where bold thinking meets thoughtful execution. Let’s create something meaningful together.

Trained as a designer, Christian has worked as an art director, creative director and strategist for the last two dozen years on both product and marketing sides of brands.

He has worked both brand-side and agency side, managing creative teams while keeping his hands touching the work. His practice and management style are highly strategic, evoking purpose in every project.

He practices an empowering and playful creative practice for design teams, but he can also be a bit of a pain-in-the-ass in the pursuit of coherence, consistency and deciphering meaning.

He is currently working as a strategist and creative director at Mythic Proportions, which he cofounded in 2020.
