The project

Host for Faber-Castell at CCXP 2019

Felix Uhlig hosted for Faber-Castell at the first CCXP held in Germany, in Cologne in 2019. At the event he presented a series of comic drawing battles between well-known comic artists such as David Finch, Mike Deodato and Ivan Reis and amateur artists. These contests drew a large crowd and made for an exciting, hands-on experience for artists and audience alike.

He also introduced the Faber-Castell "superhero family" on the CCXP Ultra Stage. That presentation was part of a wider brand activation in which Faber-Castell showed its new products and ran creative workshops where visitors could try the new MultiMark pens and create artwork of their own. Together, these activities made for an immersive and inspiring setting for everyone at the show.

Looking for a bilingual host for our stand at CCXP 2019, we made the perfect catch with Felix. He not only prepared professionally for specialist subjects like anime, comics and manga, he also more than rocked it when it came to firing up the audience at our artist battles. The fact that he looks great too, and kept the whole team motivated and in good spirits even in the most stressful moments, makes him our first choice for the next live shows whenever we get to go on stage again!
