Celerise

What Celerise does

Celerise (legal entity: celerise GmbH) is a Berlin-based, privately held social media marketing agency founded in 2018 that operates exclusively within the German hospitality vertical, serving restaurants and hotels nationwide. The company is a subsidiary of the FJF Group, a diversified German conglomerate with multiple operating locations. Leadership rests with founder and CEO Filip Fischer. The agency runs as a full-service provider, taking over clients' complete digital presence rather than delivering isolated deliverables.

The company's product portfolio comprises seven core service modules anchored on Social Media Management across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok: Advertising (performance-driven campaigns including Google ads), Data & Tracking, Web Development, Content Creation (photo and video), Event Conception, Influencer Strategy, and Newsletter Marketing. The underlying technology stack is largely commodity — platform-native ad tools, Matomo and 1&1 Web Analytics for measurement — with no disclosed proprietary platforms, APIs, or AI/ML systems. Demonstrated client outcomes include a case study producing 12,805 inquiries, 1,864 new guests, €24,279 in additional revenue, and a 10.7x ROI on ad spend within four months for a single restaurant client.

Celerise monetizes via professional services contracts structured as custom packages tailored to each hospitality operator, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers or standard rate cards. The go-to-market motion is sales-led direct outreach through a website contact form targeting SMB hospitality operators in Germany; the company operates exclusively on a domestic, single-country basis with no international footprint disclosed. Ownership is concentrated under the FJF Group parent, with no institutional investors, venture capital backing, or public shareholders indicated in the available source material.
