What Stuiq does

STUIQ AG is a privately held, full-service Swiss creative agency founded in 1987 and headquartered in Zürich, with a second office in Uster. The agency operates with a team of approximately 26 employees across three integrated disciplines: Beratung (consultation/strategy), Kreation (creative), and Digital, supplemented by a network partner model (Conect Digital for digital campaigning; swipe GmbH for application development and hosting). STUIQ serves mid-to-large Swiss enterprises across retail (Conforama Schweiz, Walder Schuhe, BICO, Media Markt Switzerland), fitness (ACTIV FITNESS), real estate (Swiss Life Asset Management), automotive (Auto Discount Uster, Maltech AG), mobility (Mobility), and nonprofit (BirdLife Zürich) sectors, delivering branding, multi-channel campaigning, digital strategy, web/app development, film and motion design, content creation, and live communication/activations.

STUIQ acquires clients through direct outreach, referrals, and national competitive pitches. Revenue is generated via project-based fees and retainer agreements under a professional services model, with no public pricing disclosure. The Digital department has grown to 9 people and represents 36% of agency revenue with approximately 40% year-over-year growth, making digital the largest revenue contributor. The agency uses standard marketing technology (WordPress, Google, Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, LinkedIn ad platforms, Google Analytics, Hotjar, CleverReach) and is exploring AI-assisted art direction and motion design production.

The agency is led by three partners — Sandro Walder (CEO), Anna Kindlimann (Creative Direction), and Stefan Moeschlin (Creative Direction) — with Daniel Baumgartner as Managing Director and Benjamin Kocher as Head of Digital (joined management board January 2021). The agency differentiates on the positioning "why normal?", emphasizing distinctive creative output over generic agency work. STUIQ has no disclosed external investors, parent company, funding rounds, or subsidiaries, and operates entirely within Switzerland.

• Rufener Werbeagentur: Established Swiss creative agency with full-service brand, campaign, and digital capabilities serving enterprise clients. Comparable in size and scope to STUIQ, with similar positioning as a long-standing independent Swiss agency.
• Spillmann/Felser/Leo Burnett: Zurich-based creative agency affiliated with Leo Burnett/Publicis, offering integrated brand communications for Swiss and international clients. Comparable to STUIQ as a competing Swiss creative agency pitching for similar enterprise accounts.
• Thjnk Zurich: Creatively-led Swiss-German agency in Zurich offering brand strategy and integrated campaigns. Directly comparable to STUIQ on full-service creative delivery for Swiss mid-market and enterprise clients.

Broad incumbents

Regional players

• Scholz & Friends: German-speaking creative agency network headquartered outside Switzerland. Comparable on integrated creative capabilities but primarily serves DACH rather than the Swiss market directly.

Emerging players

• Notch Interactive: Zurich-based digital-first creative and interactive agency. Overlaps with STUIQ's digital unit on web/app development and interactive campaigns; smaller and more specialized.
