Hi, I’m Michael Lutz. I’m a Spirits Specialist, Brand Expert and Event & Project Manager focused on crafting marketing strategies and executing 360° activations for premium brands. I love organizing masterclass tastings, staff trainings and guest shifts that bring products to life in bars, shops and events, while coordinating multi-channel campaigns across B2B and B2C channels. Over the past decade I’ve collaborated with premium brands in the DACH region and beyond, bridging marketing, PR and consumer relations with hands-on event execution. I’m fluent in German and English, with Spanish at a basic level, and I thrive in multicultural environments with a strong focus on measurable results and stakeholder relationships.
