DOERING Media GmbH

What DOERING Media GmbH does

DOERING Media GmbH is a Berlin-based, founder-owned creative agency operating as an integrated in-house production studio from a single location in Kreuzberg. The company delivers an end-to-end service bundle spanning strategic consulting, concept and creative development, social media management, video and photo production, post-production (editing, sound, motion graphics, VFX, color grading), and graphic design. Its production capability is built around professional camera equipment (including ARRI) and a full in-house post-production pipeline, enabling execution from first concept to final delivery without external vendor dependencies. The agency operates with flat hierarchies and a lean team of 12 full-time employees, positioned around speed, agility, and full creative control rather than scale.

The company serves enterprise clients primarily through direct B2B engagement and as a production subcontractor for larger advertising agencies such as Scholz & Friends and Jung von Matt Spree. Its customer base is concentrated in the German/DACH market with European reach and is diversified across the music industry (Universal, Warner Music, Sony Music, BMG), consumer brands and food & beverage (McDonald's, IKEA, Burgermeister, BRLO, Spreequell), automotive (Mercedes-Benz, STARCAR), beauty and fashion (NYX Professional Makeup, Maybelline), retail and other sectors (Postbank, EU Parliament, KangaROOS, Durex). Pricing is project-based and quote-driven with no public pricing tiers disclosed; revenue is generated through professional services fees plus modest one-time e-commerce revenue from a Shopify merchandise store (DOERING Shop). Adjacent revenue streams include an educational platform (DOERING Academy, hosted on Thinkific) offering paid courses.

The business is operated as a private German GmbH (Döring Media GmbH, HRB 213816 B), founded in 2020 with Jannis Döring as sole Managing Director (Geschäftsführer). There is no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership, and the firm has completed more than 1,000 projects since inception with marquee engagements including the UEFA EURO 2024 official hymn music video for Universal Music.
