Ahmann & Schlieker GbR

What Ahmann & Schlieker GbR does

Ahmann & Schlieker GbR is a German full-service media agency registered as a civil-law partnership (GbR) and headquartered in Rheine, North Rhine-Westphalia. It is co-founded and operated by Nico Ahmann and Erik Schlieker, and delivers an integrated stack of creative and digital services: photography, film production, website design and development, social media management, graphic design, podcast production, and digital marketing. The agency's service portfolio is productized into project-based engagements plus retainer subscriptions, including a website emergency hotline and an interactive social media dashboard. Client-facing technology is built on mainstream platforms such as Webflow, with Google Ads and Meta Pixel deployed for paid acquisition on behalf of clients and for own demand generation.

The agency serves a B2B client mix spanning the German Mittelstand, large enterprises, and public/nonprofit institutions. Disclosed clients include LIDL, CDU/Junge Union, the Technisches Hilfswerk (THW), Universitätsklinikum Münster, Caritas, Purus Plastics, and Albert Bergschneider. The agency has positioned itself inside the German Mittelstand network via BVMW membership. Its 2025 work for the CDU/Junge Union federal election campaign marks entry into high-visibility political communications, while the podcast service line extends the content surface from visual into audio.

Commercial mechanics combine one-off project fees with subscription/retainer pricing, supported by paid digital acquisition channels. The agency reports use of AI tools for content creation but discloses no proprietary AI models, data assets, or in-house ML pipeline. Operating evidence is consistent with a small, founder-led creative services firm with low headcount, modest deal sizes, and a regional focus, with no funding rounds, M&A activity, or third-party valuation signals disclosed.
