CONCEPTNET

What CONCEPTNET does

CONCEPTNET GmbH is a privately held, full-service media agency founded in 1996 and headquartered at Linzer Straße 13, Regensburg, Germany, operating under a GmbH structure with four managing directors (Christian Meier, Christian Omonsky, Marius Schuller, Roland Wurm). The firm organizes its offering into two divisions — Cross Media (marketing, corporate design, SEO, TYPO3-based websites, social media, PR/events, and long-term client care programs) and Digital Business (intranet/portal solutions, Shopware e-commerce shops, mobile app development, data clearing and analysis, e-couponing, AI/digitalization services, and managed hosting). Its primary technical platform is TYPO3 CMS, supplemented by Shopware for e-commerce, CleverReach for newsletters, and Eye-Able and DeepL for accessibility and translation. The company runs its own hosting infrastructure in Regensburg and holds TYPO3 Association Silver Member status.

The company derives revenue from a mix of project-based professional services (website design, TYPO3 programming, app development, SEO, corporate design, PR/events), recurring long-term support contracts (Betreuungsverträge) with quarterly reporting, managed hosting on its own servers, and subscription-style data services for the OPTIPRESS platform. Customer engagement is sales-led and relationship-driven, acquired through the firm's website (with a self-service service configurator), industry memberships, and referrals, with bespoke project quotations rather than public pricing. The customer base spans B2B enterprise and public-sector clients — including MAX STREICHER GmbH (industrial conglomerate, ~30 TYPO3 sites), REWAG (regional utility, since 2019), medbo and Universitätsklinikum Regensburg (healthcare), Audi AG/UKR (AARU traffic safety research), RE/MAX Regensburg (since 2012), SGB-SMIT, Elektro Bauer, and the GVPG press wholesale association via OPTIPRESS — primarily concentrated in Ostbayern with national reach via the OPTIPRESS app ecosystem (15,000+ iOS, 4,500+ Android, 30,000+ MDE scanner installations processing 1M+ barcode scans daily at 22ms response). Strategic positioning emphasizes integrated Cross Media delivery, German data residency through owned hosting, TYPO3 specialization, accessibility compliance, and an emerging AI/digitalization service line layered onto a 28-year operational track record.
