White Communications

What White Communications does

WHITE Communications GmbH is a Munich-headquartered, privately held boutique communications agency founded in 1995 and owned and led by Rupert Wild, who serves as Founder, Owner, and CEO. The firm delivers 360-degree marketing services to premium and luxury brands across six verticals: fashion, beauty, travel and hospitality, automotive, jewellery, and lifestyle. Its publicly disclosed client roster includes Bentley, Bvlgari, Tommy Hilfiger, Luxottica, Steve Madden, Luisaviaroma, and Abicalcados, with several relationships spanning 15–20+ years.

The agency's service portfolio is organized into six pillars — Brand Strategy, PR & Communications, Media & Social Media, Creators & Talent, Creatives, and AI Visibility. WHITE operates without a proprietary technology platform, relying on industry-standard tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, Calendly, and Framer. It runs operational offices in Munich, London, Paris, Milan, New York, and Brazil, supplemented by by-appointment private showrooms in Berlin and Amsterdam used for product launches, seasonal previews, editorial appointments, and brand immersions.

WHITE generates revenue through professional services fees set against an hourly activity schedule, with a 15% handling fee applied to third-party orders placed on behalf of clients and the right to modify pricing for contracts with continuing obligations. The firm is bootstrapped and owner-managed with no disclosed outside investment, subsidiaries, or M&A activity. Beyond the core agency, founder Rupert Wild has extended the brand through the "Beyond WHITE" coaching and knowledge platform, the "Luxus Marketing: Wie es funktioniert" book, and an associated online course — creating a parallel education and thought-leadership revenue stream.
