SlopeLift

What SlopeLift does

SlopeLift is a Vienna-headquartered, privately held digital media agency operating under the legal entity Slopelift PM Media GmbH. Founded in 2014 by Konstantin Kasapis (CEO) and Florian Fischer (now CAIO), the firm employs 71 people across six offices in Vienna, Bratislava, Munich, Saarbrücken, Los Angeles, and Zurich, serving enterprise and mid-market clients in the DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and CEE (Central and Eastern Europe) regions with additional North American operations.

The agency's core offerings span six integrated service lines: GEO and SEO (including Generative Engine Optimization for visibility in AI-powered search such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews), SEA (paid search advertising), Social Media marketing, Programmatic advertising (tool-neutral across Google Marketing Platform, AdForm, DOOH, and other DSPs), Data and AI (analytics, big data, and marketing intelligence), and Ads and Web (creative production). Its technology layer includes the SlopeLift Labs platform at ai.slopelift.com, which bundles proprietary tools — a GEO Audit co-developed with otterly.ai, the Target AUSTRIA audience-intelligence product (invitation only), a Claude-powered RAG chatbot with CRM integration, and the BEN Conversion Amplifier. The agency holds Google Premier/Trifecta Partner status and integrates across the broader Google Marketing Platform stack (Search Ads 360, Demand Gen, Google Shopping) as well as Meta and TikTok ad systems.

SlopeLift generates revenue through professional services fees, managed-service retainers, and campaign management fees on a sales-led, consultative go-to-market. New business is sourced through direct outreach, competitive tenders (most notably a four-year SEO and GEO mandate won from KfW Bankengruppe in January 2026), events and conferences, and inbound content marketing including proprietary AI Visibility Studies published at studies.slopelift.com. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed, and the client base spans retail (Lidl, XXXLutz, dm Österreich, Miele), fashion (HUMANIC, Shoe4You), banking (BAWAG, KfW), energy (KELAG), and the public sector (Stadt Wien).
