What Mia3 does

Digitalagentur MIA3 GmbH is a Gütersloh-based digital agency founded in 2011 that designs, builds, and operates websites and individual web applications for German mid-market and enterprise clients. Its core technical stack centers on TYPO3 and WordPress CMS development, complemented by Shopware-based e-commerce implementations and custom-built solutions such as product configurators and product finders. MIA3 has been a subsidiary of Kirchner Kommunikation und Marketing GmbH (Kirchner KuM) since 2018, allowing it to bundle digital delivery with the parent's design, content marketing, and social media capabilities within the OWL (Ostwestfalen-Lippe) region.

The customer base skews toward German Mittelstand and corporate clients in industrial manufacturing (GKD, Körber Fittings, Teichmann Krane, Skantherm), furniture manufacturing (Rotpunkt Küchen, Bauformat Küchen, COR Sitzmöbel), energy/utilities (Stadtwerke Bielefeld), and retail/wholesale (Brechmann Handels, MABA Trading). The agency also operates a white-label channel, performing behind-the-scenes development for other digital and creative agencies that need technical execution capacity. A separate MIA3 Beratung practice, led by founders Philipp Randt and Tobias Uffmann (each with 15+ years of agency experience), packages digital and communication consulting on a fixed-price basis.

Revenue is generated through a mix of project-based website and application development, time-and-materials add-ons, recurring digital support and maintenance contracts, and fixed-price consulting engagements. Go-to-market is consultative and direct, leveraging the company website (with a TYPO3 Update-Check tool as a lead magnet), phone and email, and founder LinkedIn presence; pricing is fully quote-based with no public tiers. The firm operates with a compact 10-15 person team spanning advisory, project management, design, copywriting, and development, with Tim Perlemann as Managing Director and Tobias Uffmann as Prokurist.
