Textcube

What Textcube does

Textcube, formally TEXTCUBE GmbH, is a founder-owned full-service communication agency established in February 2008 and operationally active since November 2008 in Thun, canton of Bern, Switzerland. The firm delivers integrated communication services across six core disciplines: consulting and coaching, strategy and concept development, text and media work (journalistic and editorial), graphic and corporate design, PR and campaign planning (including political campaigns), and event management. Services are delivered as bespoke, human-driven creative projects rather than through any software platform; there is no proprietary technology stack and the website is maintained by a third-party vendor (Terminal8 GmbH) under a service-provider arrangement.

The business model is professional-services based: clients are charged at hourly rates disclosed in the agency's general terms (CHF 175-250/hr for journalistic services, CHF 175-200/hr for graphic services), with custom project pricing and optional cost caps for larger engagements. Customer concentration is diversified across small and medium enterprises, regional associations, healthcare providers (Spital STS AG), manufacturing/confectionery (Confiserie Steinmann), retail and parking services (Migros Genossenschaft Aare, Parkhaus Thun), political parties (SVP Thun, SVP Spiez for recurring municipal elections), and hospitality (Beau-Rivage). The go-to-market motion is consultative and sales-led, reaching clients through the agency's website, direct contact, and regional reputation in the Thun/Bern Oberland catchment.

The agency operates at micro-scale with three full-time employees plus one Senior Partner (Marco Oswald, founder and Geschäftsführer), supplemented by freelancers and project-based partners. Mr. Oswald's distinctive background as former Kommunikationschef for UEFA EURO 2008 Austria-Switzerland and Stabchef Kommunikation at the Swiss Federal Department of Defence (VBS) underpins the firm's positioning in political and event communication. There is no external investment, no funding rounds, and no subsidiaries; the company is registered as a Swiss GmbH with ownership concentrated in the founder.

Broad incumbents

• Scholz & Friends: Major German-origin creative agency with a Zurich office, providing advertising, brand strategy, and integrated communications. Comparable to Textcube in offering brand development and campaign work, but at meaningfully larger scale and with multinational clients.
• Jung von Matt: One of the largest and most awarded creative agencies in Switzerland and Germany, headquartered in Zurich with full-service capabilities across advertising, branding, digital, and content. Same broad service architecture as Textcube (strategy, creative, campaigns), but at vastly larger scale and international reach.
• Wirz Communications: Largest independent advertising and communications agency in Switzerland, offering integrated advertising, content, digital, and media services. Comparable in service breadth to Textcube, but operating nationally with significantly larger client rosters and creative output.
• Serviceplan Suisse: Swiss arm of Europe's largest independent agency group, offering full-service creative, digital, and media solutions. Comparable in offering integrated campaigns and design, but competes at a national and international level rather than regional.
• Farner Consulting: Major Swiss PR, communications, and public affairs consultancy offering strategy, corporate communications, and campaign work. Overlaps directly with Textcube's PR & Kampagnen and political communication practice, but at national scale with corporate, government, and association clients.
