What is +KNAUSS?
+KNAUSS was founded in Hamburg in 2013. As an owner-managed and independent strategy and creative agency. With a clear mission:
Building Corporate
Rebel Brands.
- BUILDING: We never stand still. We want to inspire people with brands.
- CORPORATE: We are demanding. Together we shake up rigid structures.
- REBEL: We are convinced. And convincing. Our rebellion creates freedom for change.
- BRANDS: We take responsibility. Our work makes brands uncopyable.
Creativity without strategy is art.
It is no longer sufficient to simply design and produce advertising material. Marketing technologies, customer value management and performance-oriented brand strategy must be understood and combined to form an integral whole from day one.
BUT: Without a great idea, data and tech are just tools! +KNAUSS combines the best of both worlds:
strategic thinking
+
creative excellence.
Large corporations face demanding markets that expect them to provide the flexibility, speed and innovative strength of a start-up. +K has positioned itself for precisely these challenges with our innovative working models, specialized techniques and agile team structure. We have established ourselves as a solid partner among the leaders in German business. For good reason, +K is part of the “Blue Circle”, Beiersdorf AG's exclusive, preferred partner network.
