biography
After graduating from high school in design in Wuppertal , Wilkes first worked for the Düsseldorf advertising agency Gray before he began studying media design in Berlin. When the Academy of Media Arts Cologne offered an undergraduate course in 1994 , Wilkes moved to the Rhine and graduated in 1998 with a diploma. His diploma thesis "No Talk", in which Wilkes kept seven prominent television talkers ( Alfred Biolek , Giovanni di Lorenzo , Bärbel Schäfer , Roger Willemsen , Günther Jauch , Arabella Kiesbauer and Jürgen Domian ) silent for half an hour, received a Grimme Prize nomination .
After developing various TV formats and five years of writing for the WDR cult show Zimmer Frei , Wilkes was brought to the TV production company Pro GmbH by Alfred Biolek, his former professor at the art college . In June 2000 Wilkes and Pro GmbH founded the joint online subsidiary pro in space GmbH, which focused equally on TV and the Internet. Wilkes took over the management of the new company with Oliver Blaum and Jürgen Brand.
After Andreas Lichter, who founded Pro in 1978 together with Alfred Biolek, withdrew, Uli Wilkes took over the traditional production house in 2013. In 2017, pro.volution GmbH was founded, which has been responsible for software development for the corporate group ever since.
