We have always believed that to look to the future we must learn from the
past.

Jason Schragger, Creative Director
Plantage Berlin
Jason was born in Zimbabwe’s second largest city. However, in the 80’s Bulawayo was not the place a skinny white boy should be running around. So his parents left nearly everything behind and moved their family to Australia where he lived until 1998.
That was when a call from BBH made him make a spur of the moment decision to pack up again and start at their office in Singapore, working mainly on Levis Japan.
When he was 27 he started at Lowe Singapore as their ECD. That was when, as he says, he first found his passion for delegation. Within two years they were voted the best agency in Singapore claiming a variety of awards including a gold in the TV category at Cannes for Ikea.
However his dream of working in Europe became reality as he headed to Amsterdam to join Strawberryfrog where he became their ECD.
After three years he decided to try something new. Well anything new. So he wrote a book, worked at a denim house as an intern, worked in Berlin and Moscow as a freelancer, and basically did “whatever”.
But early this year, he found a new home at Plantage Berlin as their ECD. Based in an old chocolate factory, working in Berlin is as inspirational as it sounds. He feels privileged to be there during what can only be described as an artist revolution. Changing a once divided and controlled city in the East of Germany into an icon of free thinking.
