What Refokus does

Refokus is a privately held, full-service digital agency founded in 2020, headquartered in Halstenbek (Hamburg) with a US office in Beverly Hills, California. The firm specializes in branding, web design, Webflow development, and creative development, serving high-growth startups, enterprises, venture capital firms, and marketing campaign clients. Its service stack combines strategy and identity work with execution in Webflow, ThreeJS, GSAP, and WebGL to deliver emotionally resonant digital experiences, including 3D animations and interactive websites. Proprietary assets include Refokus Tools (a suite of Webflow power-ups with 15,000+ clones and 100M+ monthly requests) and Layout Land, an interactive learning game embedded in Webflow University.

Refokus generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements with custom pricing tied to scope and complexity. Distribution is primarily direct (via refokus.com with 'Start a Project' and 'Talk to Refokus' Founders' CTAs) supplemented by the Webflow partner ecosystem, where Refokus holds Premium Partner for Enterprise status, and earned media through 59+ industry awards including Awwwards, FWA, CSSDA, and Webflow Agency of the Year nominations. The customer base spans 23+ named logos across AI/SaaS (Meridian, Lavender, Yahoo), carbon removal (Cula), energy technology (Heimdall Power), consulting (BCG Platinion), venture capital (Rainfall), and SEO (Botify), with end markets including the USA, Germany, Norway, France, Israel, and Japan.

The firm is founder-operated with co-founders Leo (CEO) and Steffi (COO), supported by CTO Juan, Head of Design Christian, and a Creative Director, with headcount in the 11-50 range across design, development, motion, project management, and marketing roles. The agency maintains event presence (OMR Festival, Webflow Conf 2023) and a content marketing cadence via blog posts and industry contributions. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors are disclosed, indicating a bootstrap, founder-owned operating model.
