What Fhp does

fhp Agentur für Kommunikation GmbH is a privately held, owner-managed PR agency headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, founded in 1994 and continuously led by its two managing shareholders Klaus-Peter Flügel and Dr. Rolf-Rüdiger Hoffmann. The firm specializes in classical press and public relations work, with a service portfolio spanning corporate communications, product PR, event PR, crisis PR, and internal communications. Client engagement is delivered through individualized consulting, conception, and strategy development rather than standardized product offerings, and the agency publicly emphasizes its founding history and bespoke media work as core differentiators.

The agency's customer base comprises more than 30 named clients across government, healthcare, banking and finance, management consulting, media, retail, hospitality, food and beverage, and technology sectors — including Boston Consulting Group, Deutsche Angestellten Krankenkasse (DAK), Deutsche Genossenschafts- und Hypothekenbank (DG HYP), SAT.1, SPIEGEL TV, dodenhof, and Fürstlich Fürstenbergische Brauerei. The firm operates exclusively in the German market, with a focus on the Hamburg region, and reaches clients through direct, owner-led sales relationships and reputation-driven referrals rather than performance marketing or paid acquisition channels.

The business model is professional services: revenue is generated from project fees, retainers, or hourly consulting arrangements for communication strategy and execution. The firm is structured as a GmbH (German private limited company) with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no external funding, and no disclosed financial metrics. Operating with roughly 15 employees and no documented proprietary technology, AI tooling, or platform, the agency competes on the strength of its founding partners' relationships, three decades of regional brand reputation, and individualized service delivery.
