Notable productized engagements include the NextGenConfigurator (NGC) deployed across 38 international markets for AUDI AG, find.content.audi (a marketing database managing 96,921 assets), a large-scale CMS migration of approximately 190,000 pages across 85 Audi websites, and the tesa SE Help & Support Board spanning 54 international websites.

The business model is a hybrid of project-based professional services (consulting, conception, content development, web development, training, and rollout) and recurring managed services (ongoing content management, technical platform support, and help desk operations). Pricing is quote-based / engagement-based and is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with a documented BVDW- and ibusiness-recognized industry presence in the DACH region and operational reach into international markets via client mandates. Customer segments are dominated by large enterprise organizations in the automotive sector, with secondary exposure to industrial / consumer brands (tesa SE), retail/events (Merchandising Messe Hamburg), consulting (MCG GmbH), and sports/media.

Broad incumbents

• Aperto (IBM iX): Berlin-based German digital agency now operating within IBM iX.

Same city origin, same enterprise content/platform focus, now scaled as part of global Accenture Song network — a relevant incumbent demonstrating what scaled-up German digital agencies look like post-acquisition.
