What heimoto AG does

heimoto AG is a privately held Swiss digital full-service studio founded in 2010 in Zurich by UX directors Heike Brockmann and Tobias Kreutzer, later joined by design director Maciek Czmuda. The studio delivers strategy, design, and engineering services to enterprise clients across Switzerland and the broader DACH region, working on projects that span major website relaunches, e-commerce platforms, brand design systems, mobile applications, progressive web apps, digital publications, and digital signage. Notable engagements include the SBB.ch relaunch (Switzerland's most visited online platform), multiple Jungfraubahnen digital products, Swiss Post's YELLOW B2B magazine, Hoffmann Neopac's tube configurator, and the EuroDreams lottery app for Swisslos.

The company operates a lean 'dream-team constellation' model: a small core of founders and senior staff combined with a curated network of specialized experts (photographers, 3D artists, illustrators, developers). Its technical stack includes headless CMS (Contentful), Progressive Web Apps with offline capability, custom configurators (e.g., 43 tube styles × 167 head/cap types yielding ~200,000 combinations), weather-reactive frontends, and bespoke interactive game mechanics. The studio has earned repeated industry recognition, including a Best of Swiss Web 2018 Master Award for SBB.ch, Gold in 2024, and a 2nd-place Creativity ranking in 2026.

Commercially, heimoto generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements with multi-year contract cadences, sold directly to enterprise and government clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is scoped per project. The company maintains no external institutional investors, operates with 1–10 employees, and leverages its strategic implementation partnership with Unic for delivery capacity on large-scale programs.
