Innovation and Sustainability communications – a strong focus on topics of social and ecological impact.
Out of a deep intrinsic motivation, our focus is on topics that deal with transformation towards a sustainable future. While these topics may not always be light or easy, we have many years of experience in making them easier to understand and to convey an important message: Your message. Typically, these topics come from areas like
-
Corporate Strategy and Change
-
Cultural transformation
-
Development cooperation and globalization topics
-
Innovations for ecological sustainability
-
Social justice and gender equality
-
Climate and environmental protection
Creative Execution: Visual Storytelling
We produce content that is exciting, arouses curiosity, appeals aesthetically or provides easily consumable information. Contents that stimulate discussion and are recommended to others.
For this purpose we design the most suitable instruments for you, e.g:
-
Photography: References can be found on Fabian’s Portfolio
-
Video: References can be found on our YouTube Channel
-
Reports and Whitepapers
-
Infographics: See our Client Cases
-
(Online)-Magazines and Blogs
-
Speech writing
Most of these instruments are strongly visual - they draw their suggestive power by situational composition, colors, shapes and emotions. This is why the term visual storytelling plays such a central role for us.
Another common feature of these instruments is their transmediality - as a rule, we connect the contents of classic corporate websites with
-
Social Media
-
Print Formats
-
Blogs
-
Live events
thus creating a network of connecting points for additional visibility. In this way we optimize the reach and effect of stories and content.
Together with agency partners and specialized freelancers, we offer the majority of the necessary services from a single source. We value fair and long-term partnerships with our customers and business partners and always strive to deliver excellent work and stay hungry for the best idea.
Visual Storytelling – Video and Photography
To effectively convey your messages, we work with you to find concrete, exemplary and at the same time surprising stories. We stage these - depending on the task - photographically, cinematically or with infographics.
We produce photography and videos either ourselves or in cooperation with selected freelance specialists. In photo and video production we put a great emphasis on the right mix of cost-efficient execution and professional quality standards. We call this “Low Footprint Storytelling”. This enables us to deploy the appropriate team and technology quickly and cost efficiently for the most diverse conditions.
