The native Saarlander travels the world, has a cosmopolitan outlook and always remains true to his German roots.

 

Thanks to his German virtues, Thomas Hayo triumphed from the outset in New York, the epicentre of capitalist consumerism, where he was also unperturbed by customers’ mega-budgets. He’s designed international campaigns for Pepsi Cola, Kodak, Kellog’s, Levi’s, Sony, Reebok, Johnnie Walker and De Beers and made the most successful brands even more successful.

Following a career break, Thomas Hayo took the plunge and became a self-employed creative director in 2008. When he was discovered for the Germany’s Next Topmodel by Heidi Klum (ProSieben) talent show in 2011, Thomas Hayo saw his chance and took advantage of the genre’s boom, positioning himself as an expert, mentor and unique personal brand at an early stage.
