Kaundvau

What Kaundvau does

kaundvau GmbH is a full-service German advertising agency (Werbeagentur) headquartered at Weiherstraße 9 in Pforzheim, Baden-Württemberg, founded in September 2011 by Managing Director Tom Kellersohn. The firm delivers integrated communication and visualization services across print, online, and mobile media for local and regional clients in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), with named engagements spanning dental/healthcare, beverages, fashion/retail, hospitality, and non-profit sectors. Core service lines include website design and development, logo and corporate identity design, social media management (Facebook, Instagram) and Meta Ads campaigns, print design, vehicle branding, signage and advertising technology (Werbetechnik), and promotional merchandise.

The agency's underlying technology stack is conventional for a creative services firm: standard web design and CMS tooling for website builds (including responsive onepagers and full relaunches), Meta's advertising platform for paid social and recruiting-funnel campaigns, and — as a relatively recent addition — an in-house 3D printer ("Horst," introduced February 2026) for prototyping and physical promotional objects. There is no proprietary software platform, API, or AI/ML pipeline; the firm's differentiation rests on cross-channel integration (linking print, online, and mobile media) and sector-specific expertise, particularly in dental/medical marketing via its partnership with Nordquadrat PR+ Marketing.

kaundvau operates on a professional services model with project- and retainer-based pricing and a free initial consultation funnel. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: direct consulting at the Pforzheim office or client site, supplemented by referral flow through the Beraternetzwerk Baden network (membership since 2012), content marketing on its own blog, organic social presence on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X, and trade show attendance (e.g., IDS, Zahntechnik plus, SITECH Accelerator Days). With 1–10 employees and no disclosed external funding, kaundvau functions as a founder-owned SMB agency whose growth is tied to the personal network and specialization of its principal.
