The company operates through two legal entities, TRIEBHAUS KOMMUNIKATION GmbH and TRIEBHAUS LIVE GmbH, and is co-owned by Adrian Kiener and Marika Nygren. It serves Swiss enterprises, public institutions, and event organizers with integrated brand experience services delivered across four pillars: Branding (identity, UX, design), Live (events, roadshows, activations), Media (content, campaigning, communication), and Production (manufacturing, assembly, material handling). Its work spans trade show booths, corporate celebrations, prevention campaigns, roadshows, and urban development communications.

The agency's client roster includes Mastercard, Bosch eBike Systems, Red Bull, Die Mobiliar, AEK BANK 1826, Insel Gruppe, Veloplus, and multiple City of Bern entities, with a notable vertical concentration in cycling and sports events (UCI Road World Championships fan zones, Red Bull Pump Track, Hallo Velo, Bern bewegt).

Pricing is project-based via fixed quotes or time-and-materials, with a 0.25-hour minimum billing unit disclosed in its AGB. The company is a small owner-operated firm with approximately 7 core staff, 10+ flex team members, and a Soundingboard advisory group; it has no external institutional investors, no disclosed revenue, and no proprietary AI or software platform beyond a basic internal event-ranking tool called Rankinx.
