Matthias Leitner
As a passionate Digital Storyteller, UX Designer, and Scrum Master, I focus on developing digital strategies and content for cultural, knowledge-based, and media institutions.
Since 2015, I have led the Storytelling Lab audience:first at Bayerischer Rundfunk, realizing program innovations in the Department of Digital Developments & Social Media such as the award-winning messenger project #icheisner and the Social VR documentary Munich 72.
My dedication and spirit of innovation led to my appointment as a Fellow of the Federal Government's Culture and Creative Industries in 2017. My work, which resides at the intersection of journalism and art, has received multiple awards, such as the Media Prize of the German Bundestag 2020 for #icheisner and the Anthem Award 2023 in the category โDigital & Innovative Experienceโ for Munich 72.
