We advise and support our clients in their daily communication work, in the context of extraordinary projects as well as in special media challenges and crises. As a small agency with an internationally experienced team, we work flexibly, objectively and tailored to the individual requirements of our clients. Our political experience enables us to develop communication strategies in a goal- and result-oriented way. In this respect, we regularly cooperate with the largest domestic law firms as well as renowned auditors.
In advising our clients, we call a spade a spade: It is only possible to assist clients in defining their goals and developing precisely the communications strategies that achieve these goals after facing up to the facts. It is not our task to flatter our clients, but rather to get straight to the point. Courteously, but unmistakably. We are prepared to accept the fact that some clients might find this irritating. However: Those who engage us can rely on us – to understand their perspectives, and to devote our energies to delivering custom-made solutions. Furthermore, our clients can also be sure that we will not seek to enhance our own reputation with theirs. Discretion is a given.
