TUNNEL23

What TUNNEL23 does

LWND, the creative agency referenced in the query under the name TUNNEL23 (legal entity Kreativagentur GmbH, registered in Vienna, Austria), is a privately held, founder- and partner-owned integrated brand-communications shop operating from Goldschlagstraße 172/2/DG, 1140 Vienna. The firm positions itself explicitly against traditional agency stereotypes (no "all-in" retainers, no clichéd role definitions) and assembles customized, cross-disciplinary teams from a standing bench of approximately 28 specialists — covering brand strategy, account management, creative direction, copywriting, art direction, motion graphics/animation, 2D/3D and visual effects, UX/UI design, front-end and full-stack web development, and content/quality management — to deliver each client engagement.

Its service catalogue spans brand strategy and identity, digital-first branding, integrated campaigns, online video/TV, stories and reels, DOOH, HTML5 banner ads, social content and strategy, dynamic creatives, UX design, websites, OOH/POS/print, eCommerce, and SEO/SEA. Differentiated formats include Fake Out-of-Home (FOOH) productions and Augmented Reality campaigns, evidenced in named work for Gerngross, BILLA (Elfie AR Christmas campaign), Allianz Österreich (#BereitFürsLeben, Pride DOOH), and FC Red Bull Salzburg (FOOH jersey launch). Web-delivery stack is built on Laravel, WordPress, WooCommerce, ProcessWire, Headless CMS, and mobile-first responsive design.

The commercial model is project- and retainer-based professional services sold direct via the lwnd.com contact form, which exposes a budget-selector from €5,000 up to €300,000+ and advertises multi-year contract cadence. The client book is concentrated in Austrian enterprise and upper-mid-market buyers across at least 12 verticals (retail, insurance, energy, gambling/lottery, hospitality, real estate, sports media, telecom, banking, appliances, beverages, garden/consumer goods), with marquee names including BILLA, Allianz Österreich, win2day, WINWIN, FC Red Bull Salzburg, Red Bull Media House, Miele, ÖGIG, oesterreichs energie, oekostrom AG, OTTO Immobilien, roomz Hotels, Österreichische Lotterien, Ottakringer, kununu, Raiffeisen Software, and biohort. A tightly integrated sister company, Resonanz Digital, extends the offer into SEO/SEA, Google Ads/Analytics, tracking, and e-commerce consulting; its principals (David, CTO; Barbara, Managing Partner) co-founders are also active in LWND's leadership. Governance sits with Founder & CEO Diego, Managing Partner Melanie, and Co-Founder & Managing Partner Barbara. No parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds are disclosed; ownership is founder/partner-held.
