skipp communications

What skipp communications does

skipp communications AG is a Swiss boutique marketing and communications agency headquartered in Fürstenaubruck, canton of Graubünden, founded in 2002. The company operates as a 'Marketing-Generalunternehmung' (marketing general contractor), offering integrated services spanning strategy, brand development, advertising campaigns, content creation, design, websites, e-shops, web hosting, SEO, social media, photography, film, animation, events, and NFC/RFID solutions. Its core differentiator is a Switzerland-wide unique in-house Neuromarketing and AI Laboratory that combines neuroscience research with AI tools to develop emotionally and scientifically validated campaigns; the lab is supported by academic partnerships with Fachhochschule Graubünden and a Copenhagen neuromarketing firm.

The agency's go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, targeting mid-market and enterprise Swiss clients across banking (Graubündner Kantonalbank, UBS), insurance (Die Mobiliar), tourism (Ascona-Locarno, Saastal, Arosa/Lenzerheide), automotive (Porsche), hospitality (Andreas Caminada), and government (Kanton Graubünden). Revenue is generated primarily through hourly professional services billed at CHF 180–240/hour with 50% upfront project milestones, supplemented by recurring annual hosting subscriptions from a self-operated data center. Long-tenured client relationships (10+ years with Ascona-Locarno, 8+ years with Krieg Bad) and a client roster of 50+ named brands demonstrate staying power, though the firm remains a small ~10-person owner-managed operation with no disclosed external funding.
