Ekom

What Ekom does

Ekom communication that works. gmbh is a privately held, founder-led B2B marketing communication agency founded in 1993 and headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany. The firm delivers strategic brand management, marketing communication, sales marketing, and advertising services to enterprise clients across three defined verticals: Healthcare, Logistics, and Sports. Headcount sits in the 11–50 employee band, and the business is operated as a German GmbH under sole Managing Director Jürgen Platen, with no external investors, parent entity, or institutional ownership disclosed in the available material.

Service delivery is built around customized cross-functional teams drawn from consulting, creation, and project management, with an integrated '360°' communication approach covering campaign development, brand strategy, rebranding, event management, digital content creation, social media management, and digital transformation consulting. The company has documented an average customer loyalty of 8.12 years and a 30+ year operating history, both of which signal durable client relationships. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the model is quote-based B2B engagement rather than productized or platform-based. The customer base is concentrated in enterprise accounts, with Galderma functioning as the dominant anchor client (with nine plus documented campaigns spanning multiple sub-brands) alongside Solta Medical, InMode, Neuraxpharm, Kyowa Kirin, DSV, EPAL, HB RTS, Cosmic Sports, and ART Giants Düsseldorf.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform, no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no patents or trademarks, no funding history, no M&A activity, and no documented geographic expansion beyond the DACH region. Distribution is via direct B2B sales to enterprise clients, supported by a website-led case-study portfolio, organic social presence on Facebook and Instagram, and industry-event participation in the Healthcare, Logistics, and Sports sectors. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
