Kreatelier

What Kreatelier does

Kreatelier is a Swiss creative agency operating as a sole proprietorship (legal name: kreatelier marina hobi) under founder and Managing Director Marina Hobi, headquartered in a renovated 230-year-old Posamenterhaus in Ramlinsburg, Basel-Landschaft, approximately 20 minutes from Basel. Founded in 1999, the firm delivers brand strategy, graphic design, web design and development, film and animation, illustration, and interior design services, positioning itself as a holistic provider that bridges digital brand communication with physical space design — an unusual combination in the Swiss agency market.

The agency serves a hybrid client base including Swiss SMEs and mid-market companies, large enterprises (Roche, BLKB, Medgate, wega IT), public-sector bodies (Ausgleichskasse Basel-Stadt), hospitality operators (Hotel Bad Schauenburg, Albergo San Bernardo, Tavero AG), and selective international clients in Austria, Germany, and Italy. Project work is delivered by a core team of 1-10 employees, supplemented by a long-term network of specialist partners covering SEO, content, web development, photography, film, and illustration. The agency's stated methodology centers on developing an 'Emotional Selling Proposition' (ESP) for each client.

Kreatelier's revenue model is professional services on a project-by-project basis following consultation and kick-off meetings; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on personal introductions, referrals, an extensive website portfolio, organic social media (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook), and earned media in trade publications, with no paid advertising evident. The firm holds no external investment and operates independently as a boutique agency, with a sub-brand collaboration (Hotelharmonisierer with Lisa Boje) targeting the hospitality vertical.
