Addvanto

What Addvanto does

Addvanto AG is a privately held Swiss customer lifecycle marketing agency headquartered at Carmenstrasse 28 in Zürich, founded in 2011 and operating as a private limited company (Aktiengesellschaft). The firm delivers integrated marketing services spanning demand generation, lifecycle and retention, performance marketing, growth hacking and analytics, and creative storytelling for Swiss and select European enterprises. It maintains a specialized BSI Customer Suite consulting practice staffed by BSI Master-certified consultants, and holds Google Partner and Meta Partner certifications that support paid media execution capabilities.

The agency's business model is professional services revenue from project-based and retainer engagements, initiated through a direct sales-led motion via a website inquiry form and scoped into categories such as strategy and consulting, marketing automation and technology, creative, and campaigning. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Notable disclosed clients include Swisscom blue, FC Thun, super.natural, Orell Füssli, and Medi24, spanning telecommunications, sports, e-commerce apparel, publishing/retail, and telemedicine — reflecting the firm's cross-sector positioning.

Beyond services, Addvanto has begun productizing capabilities: in 2024 the firm launched Luna Tales, an in-house developed generative-AI children's storytelling platform where families co-create personalized narratives for children aged 4-12. The firm also developed the blue Studio newsletter tool for Swisscom. The agency has operated on a 4-day workweek since 2022 and is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding.
