What fest. does

fest. (legal name: fest. — Studio für Eventplanung und Konzeption) is a full-service event planning and conception studio headquartered at Alter Markt 16, 18439 Stralsund, Germany, operating under the DBA fest.studio. Founded in 2018, the company provides end-to-end event services — event and project management, concept development, event architecture and creation, production and execution, consulting, and access to a curated service-provider network — for corporate, cultural, and public-sector clients. The service portfolio is organized around named event types (Teamevent, Sommerfest, Weihnachtsfeier, Firmenfeier) and supports private clients through venue and catering offerings. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; delivery relies on professional expertise and an established regional partner network across Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The company has built an integrated operational footprint beyond pure event services: it owns and operates the fest.saal venue in Stralsund's old town (capacity up to 50 persons for conferences, celebrations, and concerts), the Kaffee Bar café, the Schluck und Happen gastronomy concept (present at Stralsund Christmas market and Küstenkosmoz), and the aM Frühstück am Alten Markt breakfast restaurant. The team combines certified event management (Fabian Schwabe, Geschäftsführer; Valeska Scholz, Veranstaltungsfachwirtin), communications design (Alexander Brauch), and architecture (Jana Brauch), enabling concept-to-execution capability. Notable projects include the Caspar David Friedrich hologram projection for Tourismusverband MV (2024), the hybrid 70th anniversary celebration for Stiftung Deutsches Meeresmuseum (2021), the Wallensteintage festival (~80,000 visitors over four days), and the Kulturzelt at the Stralsund Christmas market during the energy crisis.

Commercially, fest. operates as a sales-led B2B business generating revenue through professional service fees on a quote-based, project-by-project basis; no pricing is publicly disclosed. The go-to-market relies on direct outreach, website contact inquiries, and the firm's professional network. The primary customer segment is corporate/business clients (events for employees, customers, and partners), with secondary segments in public-sector/municipal clients and private/individual clients using the Kaffee Bar venue. The firm operates primarily in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with Germany-wide delivery on selected projects. Marketing is conducted through organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) and a content-marketing-led company website that doubles as the project portfolio.
