Rainer Brunotte

Born in Germany, I attended a public german grammar school near Frankfurt am Main until 2000, where I relocated to the international boarding school Schule Schloss Salem, close to the Lake of Constance, obtaining my International Baccalaureate in 2003.

Right after, I moved to Monaco to study at the International University of Monaco. In 2008 I graduated as Bachelor of Arts in Business Management & eCommerce, and in 2009 as Master of Science in Luxury Goods & Services, specializing in luxury marketing and branding, and was awarded the "Outstanding Fellowship Award".

While continuing to work in aircraft maintenance consulting, I am as well specializing in brand identity consultancy (including website design and web presence, SEO, social media strategy, stationary design, interface or presentation design, logo creation, etc) as well as photography.
