TDCLAB

What TDCLAB does

TDCLAB (legal entity: TDCLAB Dr. Siebertz GmbH) is a privately held, founder-owned B2B consulting and communications agency headquartered in Nidderau, Germany, founded in 2004 by Dr. Kirsten Siebertz. The firm specializes in market communication and innovation management services for scientific and technical industries, including chemistry, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, life science, biotechnology, food, materials, and laboratory/analytical equipment. Its core offering bridges the gap between manufacturers/developers of scientific products and their end-user markets, positioning itself as a 'competent spokesperson' able to communicate with both corporate management and bench scientists at peer level.

The firm's service portfolio spans four integrated lines: (1) market and trend analyses, competitive intelligence, due diligence and product/technology scouting; (2) lead generation and lead nurturing, supported by a proprietary network of more than 20,000 direct contacts to decision-makers in industrial and academic environments; (3) application-oriented content creation including whitepapers, blog/press articles, product videos and infographics; and (4) print and digital media services covering corporate design, web concept/design/programming, 3D visualization, video production and cross-channel marketing strategy. It also facilitates design-thinking workshops and provides PMO support for innovation projects. The underlying assets are human expertise (a team of laboratory-trained scientists led by a chemistry PhD founder) and a curated, GDPR-compliant contact database rather than any software platform; no AI/ML, API, SDK or mobile application products are offered.

TDCLAB operates a direct, project-based professional services go-to-market targeting enterprise and mid-market clients (manufacturers, specialist dealers, research institutes, universities, public institutions). Pricing is quote-based per engagement with no publicly disclosed rate cards. The firm has served 50+ companies and institutes and delivered 300+ projects since founding, generating multiple hundreds of outreach calls per year. It is bootstrapped with no external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no acquisitions; its only disclosed institutional relationships are a core strategic partnership with German industry association Spectaris (since 2022) and an academic collaboration with VDLUFA. Geographic focus remains DACH-region, with a bilingual German/English website suggesting modest international intent.
