COM.POSiTUM

What COM.POSiTUM does

compositum Multimedia-Agentur GmbH is a privately-held German multimedia agency headquartered in Fulda (Hesse) that was founded circa 1995 and has operated continuously for approximately 30 years. The firm provides web design and programming, online marketing (SEO, SEM, SEA, GEO, SMO), custom software development, social media management, and digital communication consulting. Its service portfolio is anchored by a specialized accessibility practice that has been active since 2006 and is positioned around Germany's Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG) and WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance for websites, online shops, PDFs, and email newsletters.

The agency's technical stack combines standard platforms — primarily WordPress and TYPO3 — with a proprietary content management system called "com4site," developed in-house to accommodate customizations that standard CMS platforms cannot deliver. Custom software work includes applicant management systems, data exchange servers, intranets with company wikis, survey apps, and trade show appointment planners. An interdisciplinary team of communication designers, business economists, media designers, and computer scientists is supplemented by external specialists in advertising, photography, and data protection.

compositum serves small and medium enterprises, public institutions (e.g., municipalities), and partner digital agencies under white-label arrangements. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services billed on hourly, framework-agreement, or fixed-fee terms, with consultation-led sales conducted via direct website contact, phone, and email. The firm is led by two Managing Directors, Sonja Neidhardt (Dipl.-Betriebswirtin, LL.M.) and Kathinka Gröger (Dipl.-Mediendesignerin), operates without external investors or parent-company affiliation, and serves the DACH region from a single Fulda office.
