What Tabmedia does

Tabmedia is a German full-service internet agency founded in 2002 and based in Stahnsdorf, near Berlin, operating as a UG (Unternehmergesellschaft), the smallest private limited liability form under German law. The company delivers custom internet solutions across three service divisions: Design (web design, interface design, newsletter, banner, Flash, landing page, and microsite design), Development (CMS, CRM, e-commerce, intranet, extranet, and e-learning solutions based on open-source platforms such as Typo3, Joomla!, Drupal, vtiger, SugarCRM, and openCRX), and Online Marketing (SEO, SEM, email marketing, online media, and affiliate marketing). The agency positions itself as a one-stop provider ('alles aus einer Hand') covering the full E-Business, E-Commerce, and Online-Marketing stack.

The business model is project-based professional services, with revenue generated through custom development engagements and hourly or quoted billing. Technology is delivered through a combination of open-source platforms (to eliminate license costs) and bespoke development. Tabmedia serves German and European SMEs and enterprise clients; its only publicly named enterprise customer is SMA Technologie AG (now SMA Solar Technology AG), for which Tabmedia built the Sunny Pro Club B2B partner portal, subsequently expanded into the USA and then localized into French and Italian.

The company is privately held with no disclosed outside investors, no parent organization, and no venture funding history. No headcount, revenue, or pricing figures are publicly disclosed, and management visibility is limited to a single named principal (Thorsten Brand, identified on the legal imprint). The agency relies on its own website, search engine visibility, and direct inbound inquiries as its primary go-to-market channels, with no documented partnerships, resellers, or marketplace presence. Operational continuity is evidenced by website maintenance and news updates spanning at least 2002 through 2023.
