IPPEN DIGITAL MEDIA GMBH

What IPPEN DIGITAL MEDIA GMBH does

Ippen Digital Media GmbH is a Munich-based B2B digital content agency and consultancy, operating as a subsidiary of the Ippen Media publishing network. Founded in 2011, the firm employs approximately 40 specialists organized across consulting, social media, online editorial, video, and sales content functions. Its core offering combines Content Consulting (multi-channel strategy, digital transformation advisory, Tone of Voice development) with Content Creation (production of text, video, podcast, newsletter, and social media assets) for enterprise and mid-market clients in Germany. The agency delivers services to a roster of named accounts including Volkswagen, Zurich, Barmer, AOK Hessen, AOK Bayern, Audible, Segmüller, Agravis, Armstark, Khadi, VNR Verlag, simplymunich, and Haus der Bayerischen Geschichte, spanning automotive, insurance, healthcare, publishing, furniture, agriculture, wellness, cosmetics, tourism, and cultural institution verticals.

The company's underlying technology stack is a conventional content production and distribution platform rather than a proprietary software product: it uses CMS management, SEO and UX optimization tooling, social media management workflows, and partner-provided web/app engineering (Java, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, Android, iOS). Differentiators center on the Tone of Voice methodology, multi-channel strategy frameworks, and access to the IPPEN MEDIA network's 60+ German portals, which together reach 35 million users, 578+ million monthly page views, and 15+ million social media fans. No API, SDK, or proprietary technology platform is offered to clients.

The business model is professional services: project-based and retainer engagements priced per scope, with no public pricing disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led via phone and email ([email protected]) targeting German enterprise and mid-market buyers. Supporting demand generation runs through the "We Love Content" blog, gated whitepapers (LinkedIn CEO Guide, Tone of Voice Guide), social media presence, and workshops. The company is led by Managing Directors Jan Ippen and Petra Meyer and operates exclusively in Germany with no disclosed international expansion or external funding.
