Branding agency Germany
Köln

In a city of a million you win at district level, not city-wide.

Cologne is media, trade fairs and a strong service economy, with a market that responds to personality more than to polish. English-speaking clients are often branch offices that need to look locally rooted rather than imported. Local photography and named contacts do more here than any amount of design.

Distance and meetings

We are based in Dudenhofen near Speyer. Meetings by video call, on-site visits by arrangement.

You are entering the German market and want a brand that is taken seriously rather than treated as an import.

What clients ask here

Can we keep our existing logo?

Usually yes. We check legibility at small sizes, trademark conflicts in Germany and whether the colours survive German print standards — and adapt rather than replace.

Is a trademark search included?

We run a preliminary search in the German and EU registers and tell you what we find. A binding assessment belongs to a trademark attorney, and we say so.

What about tone of voice?

This is where most market entries fail. German business language is more direct and more reserved than English marketing copy. We write guidelines your team can actually follow.

What do we get at the end?

Vector files, colour values for screen and print, type scale, spacing rules and ready-made templates for quote, invoice, presentation and social posts.
