Gotomedia

What Gotomedia does

Gotomedia (legal/brand name: gotoMEDIA) is a privately held, full-service advertising and media agency (Werbe- und Medienagentur) founded in 1998 and headquartered in Delbrück, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The firm is owned and led by Stefan Neisemeier (Agenturinhaber) and operates with approximately 15 permanent employees plus 7 freelancers. It serves four primary customer segments — German municipalities (Kommunen), companies (Unternehmen), tourism partners, and associations (Verbände) — delivering website relaunches, mobile apps, corporate design, photo and video production, and online marketing services across Germany and parts of Europe.

The agency's product surface is built around its proprietary Weblication CMS and a stack of modular add-ons targeted at municipal digitalization: optiGov (OZG-compliant citizen services), Crossiety and beUnity (community/engagement apps), Jobportal, Intranet, Chatbot, Mängelmelder (issue reporting), and native iOS/Android city apps. Core web technology is conventional (HTML/CSS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, responsive design), and the firm standardizes on BITV 2.0 / WCAG 2.2 accessibility and DSGVO/GDPR-compliant hosting on German servers. Recurring revenue is small (web/email hosting) relative to project-based professional services work.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: account managers and project teams engage clients across NRW and broader Germany, supplemented by industry event participation (e.g., a Pest Control trade fair in Stuttgart), SEO, social media, newsletters, and customer referrals. Named logos span large enterprises (Krombacher, Bertelsmann, Deutsche Bahn, STIHL, Bonduelle, Sankt Elisabeth Hospital) and a roster of municipalities and districts (Delbrück, Kreisstadt Steinfurt, Kreis Lippe, Kreis Paderborn, Kreis Borken, Nationalparkgemeinde Edertal), with recent launches in 2026 including the Delbrück city app, the Edertal municipal website, and the Solebad Werne web presence. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the firm has no external funding, subsidiaries, or M&A activity on record.
