Agency & Consultancy Market: Alexander Rohwer Joins Serviceplan/Plan.Net as Managing Director
Alexander Rohwer, formerly Vice President Brand & Advertising at Otto Versand, left the e‑commerce company earlier in 2026 and has joined the Serviceplan Group’s digital subsidiary Plan.Net. The group says he has served as a managing director at Plan.Net since April 2026; MEEDIA reports he joined Serviceplan in May and his appointment was publicly reported by HORIZONT on 14 July 2026. At Plan.Net, Rohwer will lead the agency’s end-to-end offering and expand "Content Supply" as a strategic core, placing a central role on AI and agentic workflows across the customer journey. The move aligns with Serviceplan/Plan.Net’s push to better integrate creative production and distribution capabilities. Otto has named Lars Blinda as Rohwer’s successor as Vice President Brand & Activation; Markus von Franck remains Otto’s Chief Marketing Officer.
Notable agency-level hire: plan to scale Plan.Net's end-to-end 'Content Supply' and use AI/agentic workflows is relevant for agency services and creative production but is not an industry-shifting platform or regulatory event.
