What is KÖNIGSKLASSE#1?

Having studied law and having recorded with the Bon Jovi and U2 producers Luke Ebbin and Joe Chiccarelli in 2004, Martin was one of the first influencers on social media as "Campus Captain" of StudiVZ.net in 2006 for Germany's students (before the Facebook wave hit Germany), and foremost has built up a grand followership higher than 29,000 by now on LinkedIn since he was invited to the platform in 2008 by the Chief Brand Evangelist of GOOGLE USA Gopi Kallayil.

Almost 10 years later, in 2017, LinkedIn EMEA awarded Martin Grosse the TOP Social Seller Munich Award as "Thought Leader" of his industry with an SSI (Social Selling Index) of above 81, and putting it all in the nutshell, Martin created KÖNIGSKLASSE#1: authentic and branded portrays/ interview videos with the C-Suite, produced by the KÖNIGSKLASSE#1 agency.

Martin resides in Munich, Germany, and is in love with travelling the world and creating innovative content together with others.
