OMR founder Philipp Westermeyer is one of the best-known faces in the German digital economy. He turned the marketing conference OMR Festival into one of the largest events for the digital industry worldwide and brings together more than 50,000 digital and marketing enthusiasts in the Hanseatic city. Now the former ISM student is also a member of the ISM Board of Trustees and builds a bridge between business, companies and the university.
Born in Essen, he studied at the ISM in Dortmund in the late 1990s, where he graduated in 2003 in international business administration. He then became an assistant to the Executive Board at Bertelsmann AG and set up his own online marketing agency and advertising technology company – he successfully sold one company to Gruner+ Jahr and the other to Zalando.
With OMR, Philipp Westermeyer has now built up a successful media company with around 250 employees and also earns his money with the production and marketing of podcasts, with topic-specific reports and further training activities. The topic of learning in transition drives both of them – the ISM graduate Philipp Westermeyer as well as his former university. He wants to support them in the future with his experience and his network in the digital economy. “I would be happy if I could help the ISM with my assessments of business issues related to digital.”
