Why think beyond an occasion?

We define the lasting message and the application that continues it without overloading every activity.

What connects personal and digital encounters?

We map actual audience questions across conversations, presentations, search and websites.

Why us

What connects your brand between encounters

Design beyond one date

We connect the occasion and the wider brand rather than create an unrelated identity.

Show documented connections

The CIMCO case documents brand, exhibition, content and digital work, not a Hannover project.

Develop content and design together

We connect text, imagery and offers rather than separate editorial work from creative development.

Plan production decisions early

Visuals, variants and rights define scope. We assess new production and useful reuse.

Plan for the next publication

Usable rules and templates support formats and topics agreed with your team.

Work for Hannover from Wuppertal

We organise remote work and in-person meetings by arrangement, without another Hannover office.

Services

Capabilities for the next interaction

Positioning, identity and brand management provide a shared foundation. When this work is needed, we distinguish it from a single campaign. Our general branding page explains this focus.

Explore branding

We assess the gap between the promise your brand makes and what customers understand. Interviews, competitor analysis and existing applications produce a prioritised review. You can decide which foundations to retain and what needs to change.

Together, we define audiences, the value proposition and the boundaries of your offer. Across products or markets, we establish a connecting message and relevant differences. The result guides communication, sales and design decisions.

Logo, typography, colour and imagery are developed as a usable system. We test design on product pages, presentations and campaigns using real content. Guidelines explain the rules and show your team how to apply them.

We develop names that fit the positioning and intended market, assessing language and practical use. Domain and preliminary checks do not replace legal clearance by specialist trademark lawyers, which has a separate scope.

The employer promise needs to match experience within the company. We compare both and develop content for careers, recruitment and internal communication. Claims unsupported by everyday culture do not become campaign promises.

We bring approved assets, templates and examples into a brand portal. Roles and versioning help distributed teams use the same foundation, turning brand rules from a presentation into a practical working resource.

Website and campaign need a shared argument. We connect journeys, content and technical planning without turning every project into a full relaunch.

Explore service

We organise content around user questions and test journeys with wireframes and prototypes. Technical detail appears where a decision needs it. Structural problems become visible before they become expensive during development.

The brand is translated into an understandable interface. Components and states are tested with real copy, long headings and mobile views. A reusable system supports expansion without redesigning every page.

We assess Storyblok or Contentful from development and editorial perspectives. Content models, roles, previews, approvals, languages and integrations shape the architecture. Headless alone guarantees neither speed nor usability. Both require implementation and testing.

Existing URLs, content and dependencies are mapped before a relaunch. This informs migration, redirects and acceptance criteria. After launch, we check access and indexing. Copying existing text alone does not protect search visibility.

We connect brand presentation, product structure, filters and checkout into a clear journey. Data maintenance, languages and connected systems are defined before choosing technology. The shop system follows your requirements, not the other way around.

Keyboard access, contrast, structure and alternative text belong in design and delivery. We agree on a testing scope and document findings. Legal applicability may require legal advice. A tool score alone does not establish full conformance.

We assess the questions that lead to your offer and prioritise content and technology accordingly, rather than maximising the number of pages.

Explore service

We compare technical findings, queries and content with your actual offer. You receive reasoned priorities, effort estimates and uncertainties. Extra pages are not recommended simply because more keywords can be found.

We review access, rendering, indexing, canonicals, redirects and language annotations. Internal links connect relevant content. Performance is assessed on actual pages, not inferred from the name of the CMS.

For local searches, services, the real address and content need to align. We review your business profile and relevant pages. Our Wuppertal office is verified. Additional office claims are not created merely for a keyword.

We research questions by intent and connect topics with your offer. The plan covers service pages, expert content and evidence. Existing material is reviewed first so that improving content does not always mean adding another article.

Precise statements, traceable sources and consistent company information form the foundation. We monitor actual mentions using documented questions. Whether an AI system references your brand cannot be guaranteed and needs to be checked.

Visibility is reviewed alongside enquiries and their quality. Analysis separates branded and non-branded queries, relevant markets and languages. Recommendations state their evidence. Not every change is attributed to one action.

Ads need to meet the expectations they create. We plan audience, message and landing page together and define relevant enquiries.

Explore service

Accounts and campaigns are structured around offers, audiences and intended actions. Existing data is reviewed before reallocating budgets. Together, we define which contacts count and what meaningful evaluation requires.

We distinguish search terms by product knowledge, application and purchase intent. Geographic targeting and exclusions follow your sales markets. We compare specialist terminology with the language your customers actually use.

Ads and destination pages need to serve the same expectation. We plan messaging, evidence and contact journeys for the campaign. Variants test specific questions. Changes follow understandable results rather than individual preference alone.

We define commercially relevant events and how to capture them. Forms, calls and purchases are not treated as equivalent. Consent, implementation and data quality are reviewed with the responsible owners. Measurable contacts do not automatically establish commercial value.

Retargeting can make sense when the offer, consent and audience support it. Messages reflect prior interest. We limit unnecessary repetition and use evaluation to establish whether the activity adds value.

Search terms, ads, destination pages and contact quality are evaluated together. Findings inform budgets and variants. Decisions come with their supporting data. Increased spending is not automatically the right next recommendation.

Films and animation follow their use. Complex products, exhibition stands and recruitment campaigns need different versions.

Explore service

A brand film needs a point, not just attractive footage. Concept and narrative follow positioning and intended use. Filming, editing and variants are scoped together so the website, events and sales receive suitable versions.

We translate functions into understandable applications. Live action, 3D and animation are chosen for what best explains the product. A film can offer a quick overview and explore technical questions without forcing both into the same shot.

Interviews and everyday scenes show what working with you is actually like. Consent and usage scope are clarified. Film complements specific role and culture information instead of replacing it with an interchangeable recruitment claim.

We plan films for exhibition stands: understandable without sound, readable and with a clear opening for conversation. Loops, presentation versions and later sales use are agreed together. The event determines format and length.

A short clip needs an early reason to keep watching. We develop openings and variants for the channel. Cropping, subtitles and format are checked for the intended use. Attention unrelated to the offer is not the goal.

Animation helps explain processes, data or brand applications. Pace, readability and future updates are planned together. Motion is useful when it supports a message instead of hiding the content behind an effect.

Brand work across different tasks

CIMCO documents connected brand, exhibition and digital work; Makita in Ratingen and Sauren in Cologne add other tasks. None is claimed as a Hannover client or event.

Industry & tools

For Ratingen-based Makita, we develop brand communication for professional applications. The case connects distinctive imagery with products and their use.

Finance & advisory

Our brand work for Cologne-based Sauren shows how a complex financial offer can be communicated precisely. References are selected for the task, not an invented location claim.

Metalshub Plattform

Technology & SaaS

Our Metalshub work connects branding and a digital platform for raw materials trading. The Düsseldorf case shows how a complex offer can be structured clearly.

Our process

Define the occasion. Preserve the connection.

We clarify occasion, audience and brand foundation, then agree applications, dependencies, production and approvals. Later use is reviewed separately.

1

Define the challenge

You describe the trigger, offer and intended change. We review materials and identify questions to resolve before proposing a scope.

2

Agree the scope

We define services, participants, rights and approvals, planning in-person sessions and remote work around their purpose.

3

Develop a direction

We develop and explain the concept. Your team reviews it against audiences and real applications, not personal preference alone.

4

Build the applications

Design and content are developed for the agreed channels. Feedback is consolidated and scope changes remain transparent.

5

Handover and next steps

Templates, files and responsibilities are handed over. Further support or campaigns are agreed separately.

Advertising agency for Hannover: think beyond first impressions

An occasion attracts attention, but later encounters shape the brand too. We define a shared direction and each application’s role.

Connect personal encounters and digital journeys

We connect different information needs across presentations, conversations and websites without guaranteeing contacts or contracts.

Use Hannover’s context to ask better questions

Hannover’s production, services and exhibition setting is context, not one fixed brief. Not every local business needs an exhibition-related project.

Agree scope before a fixed date

Dates require clear content, approvals and production dependencies. We define responsibilities instead of replacing limited time with unverified promises.

Show experience without inventing local proof

CIMCO documents related tasks, not Hannover projects or participation in a specific event. Comparability concerns actual work, not assumed outcomes.

Keep the brand useful after the occasion

We plan reuse, rights and maintenance early. Our Wuppertal team serves Hannover remotely and in person by arrangement within an agreed scope.
