Jonathan “Johnny” Rink
Jonathan Rink, known as "Johnny" from "Wissen mit Johnny" and "dieser.johnny," is a German influencer and radio moderator. He initially started in 2021 on TikTok and Instagram as "dieser.johnny" with sketches and comedy. In 2022, he established his knowledge format "Wissen mit Johnny," which initially presented knowledge snippets in short reel-format videos and quickly developed strong reach.
Before "Wissen mit Johnny," he moderated the morning show at ENERGY Berlin, which established his interest in audio and online content. Rink's approach combines research with engaging presentation. On TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, rapid growth quickly emerged through high posting frequency and broad audience appeal. In 2024, Rink established the "Wissen mit Johnny" podcast together with Fritz (rbb's youth radio station), which is among the most-listened-to in the education segment.
The degree of professionalization at "Wissen mit Johnny" is high, with uniform branding across all platforms, its own editorial team working together with rbb, and diversification across multiple platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify, WhatsApp). Jonathan Rink's work is a perfect example of the combination of low-threshold online journalism and infotainment.
