What acrossmedia does

acrossmedia GmbH is a privately held, owner-managed media production agency headquartered in Hittnau, Switzerland. The firm operates as a coordinating intermediary between B2B clients and a curated network of specialist suppliers across marketing, communication, print, and electronic media. Its service portfolio is structured around four phases — Konzeption (strategic conception), Projektplanung (project planning), Projektoptimierung (market comparison and optimization), and Projektrealisation (project realization) — supplemented by video production capabilities including product and training films, technical 3D animations, and photorealistic prototype illustrations.

The company generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, charging for consultation, project management, and coordination rather than direct production. Pricing is bespoke, with free rough concepts offered up front and binding cost estimates provided thereafter; no rate cards or standardized pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. The go-to-market approach is sales-led and direct, with personalized account management and a single point of contact throughout each project lifecycle.

acrossmedia targets B2B clients across all market segments on a horizontal basis, with stated reach spanning both Swiss and international markets, though no international infrastructure is documented. The firm is led by founder and Managing Director Hanspeter Knuchel (sales and project organization) and co-owner Esther Glättli (backoffice and administration), with 1–10 total employees. The company carries no external institutional investors, no patents or registered trademarks, no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, and no public funding history; its competitive position rests on long-standing supplier relationships and a single-source coordination value proposition for clients lacking in-house media project management.
