What Augenweide Kommunikation does

Augenweide Kommunikation GmbH is a privately held Swiss full-service advertising and communication agency headquartered at Niedermattstrasse 6 in Zuchwil, Canton Solothurn. Founded in 2003 and led by owner-Creative Director Tom Burkhalter, the firm operates a multidisciplinary creative practice spanning brand development (Markenentwicklung), brand communication, branding, photography and video production, digital marketing, UI/UX web design and development, and live event management. Its technology stack is standard for the sector — Google services (Ads, Meet, Analytics, Tag Manager), Microsoft Teams, Mailchimp for email, bexio CRM, Vimeo, Zoom, Slack, Notion, and Cyon hosting — with no proprietary platforms, APIs, AI/ML assets, or patents disclosed.

The agency serves a diversified roster of Swiss mid-market and enterprise clients across at least 14 verticals. Named engagements include QUMEA (digital health), Hotel Weissenstein (hospitality), Kunstplatz Amiet (arts/culture), Nodera and Helion (renewable energy), Sanora Gruppenpraxis (healthcare), Stadt Grenchen and Swissmint (government), Riverside Zuchwil/Swiss Prime Anlagestiftung (real estate), Glaux Group (software/IT infrastructure), ChainSecurity (blockchain security), Hauri emprest AG (public transportation), and Bautec (construction). Visible client logos also extend to Coop, Swatch, Hard Rock Hotel, and Fishermans Friend, evidencing a portfolio that mixes local SMEs with nationally recognized brands and federal institutions.

Commercially, Augenweide runs a project-based professional services model with time-and-materials billing quoted in CHF excluding VAT, structured as 50% on order acceptance, installments during execution, and final invoice on delivery. Its go-to-market is sales-led and primarily referral-driven within German-speaking Switzerland, supplemented by participation in regional trade fairs such as HESO in Solothurn, owned organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook), and paid Google and Meta Ads. The team numbers approximately 18 professionals across creative, project management, UX/UI, strategy, social media, photography, and administration, and has been incrementally expanded through hires in late 2023, early 2024, and 2025 alongside a June 2023 relocation to larger Riverside Zuchwil offices.
