What Entertainment Combo does

Entertainment Kombinat GmbH is a Berlin-based PR and marketing agency founded in 2003 that specializes in publicity and promotion services for entertainment products in the German market. The company serves film distributors, production companies, book publishers, broadcasting networks (ARD, ZDF), home entertainment distributors, and streaming platforms across five integrated service lines: cinema/TV production PR, digital release and home entertainment PR, online PR and promotions, cooperation marketing, and publisher previews with media cooperations. Its client roster spans tier-one Hollywood studios (Warner Bros., Universal, Sony, Paramount), major German distributors (Constantin Film, Studiocanal, Leonine Distribution, Koch Media), and leading book publishers (Random House, Bastei Lübbe, Rowohlt, Hanser Verlag, Ullstein).

The agency's core offering is human-driven media relations and event-based promotion rather than technology-enabled services. Capabilities include classical press work, special interest PR, event PR (premieres, junkets, set visits, festivals), online content placement (trailer premieres, clips, blogger outreach), media cooperation partnerships with Der Spiegel, FAZ, and Klambt Mediengruppe, and local/targeted promotion distribution. A small in-house team handles graphic design and online programming, supporting campaign execution.

Commercially, Entertainment Kombinat operates as a B2B professional services firm using an enterprise field sales motion with direct outreach, industry relationships, and project-based engagements. Revenue is generated through project-specific fees for individual campaigns covering cinema launches, home entertainment releases, streaming offerings, and book titles. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on bespoke quotes. The firm is privately held, owner/management-operated under Managing Director Julia Hoffmeister, with no external investors, funding history, or parent company disclosed. Operations are confined to Germany, and the company maintains an in-house team supplemented by a financial services partnership with DV Verrechnungsstelle GmbH for extended payment terms to select clients.
