TJARD PÜSCHEL

(M.A.)  International Marketing & Brand Management

ABOUT ME

I'm Tjard, a marketing and brand manager based in Munich. I cover the entire funnel: from organic reach through paid social & search to CRM, customer retention and closing.


As Founder & CEO of Clero, I built a 6-person team around an idea and developed a community platform: 10,000+ followers organically, 10 creators with a combined 4.5M reach and 10+ brand deals. Before that, at Sportworld, I grew social reach from 500 to 25,000+ followers in six months and built CRM journeys for a streaming app available in over 200 countries.


My foundation: roles at Telefónica, FC Bayern and Sky, my own branding agency, and a Master's in International Marketing & Brand Management (Munich Business School, 1.3 / A-) with exchange semesters in Singapore and Cape Town.


What drives me: I think like a founder, which means entrepreneurial, cost-conscious and focused on impact. Whether working with corporate teams at Telefónica, creators at Clero or my agency's clients, I'm good at bringing people together and turning an idea into a brand that resonates.


Now I'm looking for a marketing role where I can grow brands in a data-driven, measurable way.
