eMotivo GmbH

What eMotivo GmbH does

eMotivo GmbH is a privately held German full-service digital agency founded in 2009, operating from two offices in Jesteburg (Hamburg area) and Bösel (Oldenburg area) under the leadership of three managing directors—Andreas Lübben, Henning Buss, and Mirco Doebel. The company delivers three interrelated service pillars: managed IT services (infrastructure, cloud, security, telephony, and consulting), web development (websites on WordPress, TYPO3, and Shopify; online shops; custom portals and web applications), and design services (logo, corporate identity, print, and advertising). A specialized festival IT practice, co-developed with partner Team412, delivers staff planning and time tracking for large events including Wacken and Hurricane.

The technology stack is conventional and oriented around established third-party platforms rather than proprietary software: CMS platforms (WordPress, TYPO3, Shopware/Shopify), web development languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP), and an ecosystem of technology integration partners (Dell, Microsoft, Sophos, Trend Micro, Veeam, Agfeo, Easybell, Placetel). Custom work centers on individualized web applications, event ticketing systems, and process digitization portals (e.g., the MeatYou booking portal, Bundespresseball ticketing, Pferdesportverband Hannover app). The firm serves SMB and mid-market clients across healthcare, sports, food and beverage, e-commerce, manufacturing, and events, with website examples including Waldklinik Jesteburg, Hansefit, Goldschmaus Gruppe, tankpool24, stick & lembke, and Nölken Stahlverarbeitung.

The business model is project-based professional services combined with managed service retainers and multi-year support contracts. Pricing is individualized and quote-based with no public tiers; revenue is generated through project fees, hosting/maintenance retainers, and managed IT service agreements. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on regional presence, personal consultations, and customer referrals rather than outbound or PLG motions. The company is unaided by external investors and shows no evidence of M&A activity, institutional funding, or rapid scaling.
