What A-quadrat Werbeagentur Gmbh does

A-Quadrat Werbeagentur GmbH is a full-service advertising agency headquartered at Am Ruhrstein 45 in Essen, Germany, founded in 2015 and operating as a privately held GmbH. The agency delivers an integrated suite of creative services spanning website design and SEO/online marketing, digital and print media design, brand and communication strategy, trade show booth design (including 3D visualization for events such as Hannover Messe, Fakuma, and Frankfurt), photography, video and audio production, illustration, and outdoor advertising. Its underlying production stack centers on the Adobe Creative Suite (with InDesign specifically mentioned in team profiles), standard web technologies (HTML/CSS/WordPress), and 3D visualization tooling for exhibition booths; the agency also references Augmented Reality (AR) under its digital services offering.

The agency's go-to-market is direct sales-led, with customers reaching the team via phone (0201 43767313) and email ([email protected]) and no intermediaries or channel partners. It targets a horizontal spread of customers from large corporations down to sole proprietorships, with named logos spanning healthcare/insurance (BERGISCHE Krankenkasse, hkk Krankenkasse, BITMARCK), public transportation (STOAG), heavy manufacturing and industrial SMEs (Stahlrohr, Fluitronics, WIWOX, Hempel Special Metals, Sunfab, Bühler Technologies, KMS, Wilhelm Siefer), regional development (Business Metropole Ruhr), and niche SMB/non-profit accounts. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services with custom, "transparent" pricing and multi-year contracts; specific rates are not publicly disclosed and no pricing tiers are listed.

The team comprises six people as of late 2025: two managing directors (Andreas Kees as graphic director and Andreas Hußmann as commercial director), one established media designer (Sarah Matuszczyk), and three apprentices in digital and print media design (the most recent joining in October 2025). Marketing channels include an Instagram handle (@a2werbeagentur), a Spotify brand playlist, Google Ads, and a portfolio-driven website; no app, API, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. The agency emphasizes its Ruhr-area regional identity and reports 10 years of operation as of March 2025.
