Founded in 1997 and operating with 11–50 employees, the firm delivers brand strategy, communication design, corporate and brand design, web and e-commerce development, online marketing (including SEO and GEO for AI-driven search), social media, photo and film production, and trade show / interior design. It also runs a Culture & Transformation practice covering INSIGHTS MDI personality analysis, systemic coaching, Design Thinking workshops, and New Work consulting, alongside a wholly-owned co-working and architecture facility branded KD.Haus and a photo/film subsidiary called Foto & Design (Fotofilmdesign).

The client base spans mid-market and enterprise customers in healthcare (UZB, Caritas Hochrhein, Kliniken des Landkreises Lörrach), manufacturing and industrial (binkert, Diotec, alfer aluminium, Gütermann, Sedus), software (Clubdesk), government (Landkreis Waldshut, Grosse Kreisstadt Waldshut-Tiengen), interior design (bühler einrichtungen), construction (Gross), and culture (Kammerorchester Basel), with active geographic marketing into Southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart, Freiburg) and German-speaking Switzerland (Zürich, Basel, Aargau).

The business operates on custom, quote-based, multi-year project contracts delivered directly by the agency team, monetized through professional services fees rather than licensed software.
