Kommhaus

What Kommhaus does

Kommhaus, legally registered as Das Kommunikationshaus Bad Aussee Value Added Management GmbH (UID ATU29894406), is an integrated communications agency headquartered in Bad Aussee, Austria, with branch offices in Vienna and a dedicated workshop venue called Kommhaus Next in Vulkanland. Founded in 1992 by Martin A. Schoiswohl, the company delivers four interconnected service pillars under one roof: Beratung (consulting covering change management, employer branding, identiting, brand development, brand positioning, and organizational development), Kommunikation (brand and corporate communication, corporate publishing, campaigns, press work, multi-channel content management, and social media), Gestaltung (animation, brand, corporate, editorial, illustration, and screen design), and Know How (executive development, market and opinion research, moderation, team building, trend research, and sales academy training). The agency has been PR-certified since 2016 and maintains strategic partnerships with Core Smartwork, Profilingbrands, and Profilingvalues to extend its employer branding and brand profiling capabilities.

Kommhaus serves Austrian organizations and businesses across multiple sectors including industrial manufacturing (Festo, Fill, Schwarzmüller), fibers and materials (Lenzing), technology (SWARCO), banking (Raiffeisenbank Leibnitz), automotive, insurance, real estate, government (Wirtschaftskammer Oberösterreich), events, and nonprofit (Herzkinder Österreich). The business model is professional services: customized, project-based engagements delivered through direct client consultation rather than standardized product offerings, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Services are promoted through organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), a dedicated newsroom, and a newsletter.

The company transitioned to second-generation leadership following founder Martin A. Schoiswohl's passing in 2020, with his daughters Maria Höpler-Schoiswohl (Managing Director, PhD in journalism and communication sciences from the University of Vienna, 2009) and Anna Jogna (Creative Director for Graphics and Illustration, trained at Graphische Wien) assuming management responsibility in 2020 and 2021 respectively. The agency is privately held with no institutional investors, parent company, or public funding history disclosed, and currently maintains no patents, formal regulatory actions beyond its PR certification, or AI/ML capabilities in its service offering.
