At the same time, she wrote for WELT Kompakt, Berliner Morgenpost, the fashion format First Row, published by Burda Verlag, the G+J star spin-off NEON and the Bauer Media weekly Life & Style.

Leslie has been part of the team again since 2024 as a Senior PR Consultant and authorized signatory. Previously, she advised international museums such as the MET, the Kunsthaus Zürich and the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern on digital transformation at the Berlin production company maze pictures, designing exhibition films and online formats. After studying media and cultural studies at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg, she gained experience in various editorial offices. In 2021 she moved into the world of public relations ans started her career as a consultant at Frohe Botschaft. When Leslie is not working on crisp texts or creative concepts, she loves to cuddle and play with the agency’s four-legged friends.

Anne is working with Frohe Botschaft since 2021. As a PR Consultant, she transforms today’s digitizers and their ideas into creative and approachable formats and content. She loves the challenge of addressing complex technology and sensitive cultural topics linguistically, to break with outdated boundaries and merge horizons. Before entering public relations, she worked as an online assistant at Westdeutscher Rundfunk’s Kulturlabor for three years and developed her journalistic skills as a presenter and Head of Services at radio station bonnFM. Anne studied Romance studies with a focus on linguistics as well as public law at the University of Bonn.

Malte is looking forward to doing his traineeship at Frohe Botschaft after completing his bachelor’s degree in business psychology. During his studies, he worked for various fashion companies and did internships at Hellwig and Kirschbaum Consulting. He spends most of his free time making music, going to concerts or playing football at a moderate level. Maltes four-legged companion Joschi adds another furry friend to the office.

Anette has been part of Frohe Botschaft since April 2023. As Office Manager, she is dedicated to accounting and documentation. She gained her many years of experience in the media industry and advertising during her 7 years as an assistant to an agency owner and in publishing – the longest station with 25 years – as assistant to the editor-in-chief. Initially at the magazine “Fit for Fun”, later at the program magazine TV SPIELFILM. Furthermore, she has been working as an assistant to a professorial chair at Bucerius Law School for four years.
