Valentum Kommunikation

What Valentum Kommunikation does

Valentum Kommunikation is a Regensburg-based full-service creative agency operating as Valentum Kommunikation GmbH (HRB 11277), founded at least 15 years ago and led by Managing Director Frank Zeller. The firm delivers an integrated portfolio across Design & Marketing, Print, Digital (animated advertising, banners, explainer videos), Web (concept, design, CMS implementation on WordPress and Typo3, SEO and hosting), Event management (conferences, citizen forums, trade fairs, study trips), Online Events (digital/hybrid event production), Politische Bildung (simulation games, democracy seminars, workshops, digital civic education) and PR & Text. Service delivery relies on conventional web and conferencing infrastructure rather than proprietary platforms.

The client base is dominated by public-sector and EU institutions: the firm holds long-term framework contracts with multiple European Commission representations (Munich, Bonn, General Representation) and the German Federal Ministry for Housing, where it has led communications since 2016 for the Bundesprogramm Sanierung kommunaler Einrichtungen covering 800+ municipalities. Additional major clients include the cities of Regensburg and Munich, multiple German political foundations (Konrad-Adenauer, Hans-Seidel, Friedrich-Ebert), federal agencies (Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung, BIBB), sports organisations (SSV Jahn Regensburg, Jahnstadion), and selected regional enterprises in postal services, real estate, energy and transport.

The business model is professional services revenue: project-based engagements and recurring framework contracts with public, non-profit and corporate clients, priced on a quote basis per scope rather than via disclosed rate cards. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct client relationships and referrals, with brand visibility through a company website and LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube channels. The company operates from a single headquarters in Regensburg (Bischof-von-Henle-Str. 2b), serves primarily Germany with selected EU exposure, and is privately held with no external investors, funding history or M&A activity disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Edelman Germany: German arm of global PR leader Edelman, with established public-sector, corporate and EU-institutional clients. A larger incumbent that overlaps with Valentum's communications offering but operates at much broader scale.
• Ogilvy Germany: Global creative network's German operations offering integrated advertising, PR and digital services. Overlaps with Valentum's full-service model as a much larger, multinational incumbent competing for major public-sector accounts.

Direct peers

• Scholz & Friends: Major Hamburg-headquartered full-service creative agency with strong corporate and public-sector communications. Comparable integrated offering (strategy, creative, digital, events) and similar German-market positioning to Valentum.
• Ketchum Germany: Leading PR and communications consultancy in Germany with significant EU institutional and public-sector work. Directly comparable on PR, public affairs and event-driven civic engagement mandates.
• Jung von Matt: Major German independent creative agency group delivering campaigns across brand, digital and content. Comparable full-service creative agency positioning serving large institutional and consumer clients in the DACH market.
• fischerAppelt: Hamburg-based full-service communications agency with strong public-affairs, corporate communications and live-marketing practices. Highly comparable to Valentum on integrated comms work with public-sector and corporate clients.
• Kirchhoff Consult: German independent communications and IR consultancy serving listed companies and public institutions. Comparable full-service communications and event-management offering with similar client mix.
• navos Public Dialogue Consultants: Munich-based consultancy specialised in public dialogue, citizen participation and stakeholder engagement. Directly comparable to Valentum's Politische Bildung and citizen-forum/event work, particularly for government clients.
• Serviceplan Group: Germany's largest independent full-service agency group, offering integrated creative, digital, media and event services. Closely comparable to Valentum's full-service agency model, though at vastly larger scale and broader geographic reach.

Emerging players

• Zeitbild Verlag: Munich-based publisher specialised in political education materials for schools and adult learners. Tangentially comparable to Valentum's Politische Bildung division; a content-focused niche player rather than a full-service agency.
