We

We work in a hybrid model. With this flexibility, we want our team to work where they feel most comfortable and inspired. For those who prefer to come to the office, we have a beautiful office near Hackescher Markt in Berlin that is available all year round. As a young, dynamic team, we approach our work with curiosity and ambition, always striving to push boundaries and create new possibilities.

We meet regularly at our home base in Berlin, enjoy our time in the office, go out for a meal or a drink together afterwards and enjoy being together in person. However, our typical days start with our daily stand-up calls, where we discuss the topics of the day to keep everyone up to date and motivated-as you can see from our smiling faces. Recently, we traveled to Copenhagen as a team and had a wonderful cultural trip.

Like our companies and brands, we want to invest in projects that have a positive environmental and social impact.
