What 7eins does

7eins GmbH is a privately held B2B marketing communications agency headquartered at Rüttenscheiderstr. 144 in Essen, Germany. The firm operates as a full-service agency delivering strategy, design, copywriting, web development, SEO/SEA, social media management, and event support, alongside a separate Customized IT-Solutions line that builds bespoke software (member management, event tooling, workflow tools) with a UX-first approach. Its go-to-market is sales-led and consultation-driven, anchored by free introductory meetings and a network model (RÜ144) that co-locates 7eins with other specialized communications providers to deliver integrated solutions without maintaining all capabilities in-house.

The company concentrates on five verticals: associations and clubs, healthcare, tax and legal services, tourism and culture, and mechanical engineering/industrial. The customer base spans enterprise accounts (Universitätsmedizin Essen, Contilia Gruppe, thyssenkrupp, IDL Essen-Ruhr e.V., TMA Deutschland, Tom Tailor, Ferrostaal) and SMB clients (Landhotel Voshövel, Tischlerei Clemens, Lemm Ideengruppe), with several relationships spanning more than a decade. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the model is professional services billed per engagement with no standardized rate card or subscription tiers.

The agency is founder/management-led, with André Frevert as Managing Director (Geschäftsführer) and Peter Kaprolat as a second named principal; no external institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries are identified. The firm reports 1-10 employees, has no disclosed funding, no patents, no certifications, and no published revenue figures. Operations are regionally focused in the DACH market with no claimed global footprint.
