Fritz belongs to a generation in of thought leaders in hospitality that combines enthusiasm for the industry with understanding of the modern ways of doing business in the digital age.

Whilst the topics of digitization and digital marketing in hospitality always remain at the core of his keynotes, presentations and workshops, he always assembles them in ways that both audience and potential readers enjoy the topics delivered with both his signature sense of humor and realism.
Some of his recent appearances as a keynote-speaker and host include appearances for ITB Berlin, Gastrosuisse, HotellerieSuisse, DEHOGA, Accor, World Travel Market (WTM) and more. Fritz is an entrepreneur at heart which in combination with his passion for the hospitality industry makes him a real threat to all those who like stagnancy and who think the industry is doing well the way it is. “The goal with Studio 49 is simply to make a difference; provide services that the industry is longing for and help hospitality businesses in the unpredictable modern world of Online Marketing and Digital Influencing.” Studio 49 has been involved with over 200 clients internationally, the majority of them being in hospitality. In 2018 the company was awarded the German Brand Award in the category of “Brand Activation Social Media” for a successfully completed client project.
Recently Fritz initiated SMACK Hospitality Media (www.smack.media), a refreshing hospitality entertainment platform. He co-hosts of Smack Hospitality podcast (www.smack.media), a format launched in the fall of 2019 that has quickly become a fan-favourite amongst both industry veterans and newcomers for its unprecedented open and fun format covering a variety of aspects within hospitality with some of the industry’s biggest names as their regular guests.
