Gloria Mundi

What Gloria Mundi does

Gloria Mundi GmbH is a Frankfurt-headquartered communications agency providing sensitive crisis communication and brand communication services to German enterprises, institutions, and individuals. Founded in 2006 by Christian Dietzel, the firm is organized as a privately held GmbH with 11-50 employees. Service offerings are divided into three core lines: Krisenkommunikation (crisis communication) for emergency response and reputation protection, Krisenprävention (crisis prevention) delivered through a six-step methodology, and Markenkommunikation (brand communication) following a three-step approach covering positioning, message creation, and audience delivery.

The agency's service portfolio is augmented by a set of proprietary methodologies and sub-services. The principal methodology, 'Chronotargeting,' profiles audience receptivity to determine optimal timing, location, and channels for message placement. A second framework, 'Sensible Kommunikation' (Sensitive Communication), develops content from the target audience's perspective before considering brand needs. Additional sub-services include journalistic press relations, corporate publishing, online communication, live events, strategic PR conception, change communication, success measurement, and brand design. The firm operates a 24/7 crisis hotline as an emergency entry point.

Revenue is generated through professional services consulting fees, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Engagement is enterprise-focused and consultative, distributed through direct sales channels including telephone, email, and website contact. Geographic scope is Germany-wide from the Frankfurt headquarters at Domstraße 2, with additional premises at Danneckerstraße 39a. Notable clients include Louis Vuitton, Pfizer, Continental, Universitätsklinikum Frankfurt, Monkey 47, HKB Bank, DGAI, and Röder Zeltsysteme, spanning healthcare, luxury goods, pharmaceutical, automotive, banking, and other sectors. Ownership is concentrated with founder Christian Dietzel as Managing Director; Anne Verena Wasner rejoined the leadership team as Standortleiterin Frankfurt in 2022.
