LARA MUHN (+49 151 413 523 24)
AGENCY EXECUTIVE IN 
CULTURE & ENTERTAINMENT 

I lead culture and entertainment across markets at TBWA\ Worldwide, helping brands build meaningful connections with fans, communities – and humans.

ABOUT

I lead culture and entertainment departments across markets at TBWA\, helping brands build meaningful connections with audiences through creators, talent, communities, content, and cultural moments.

With a background spanning advertising, journalism, strategy, and innovation, I have spent the last 15 years translating cultural shifts into business opportunities. Today, I oversee culture, entertainment, social, and talent capabilities across agencies and countries, bringing together expertise from across disciplines to create work that drives both relevance and growth.

My belief is simple: brands earn long-term relevance when they truly become part of culture, not just observers from the outside
