No, not in the city itself. Our Frankfurt office is 178 km away in a straight line, and Amsterdam is 205 km away. We share your time zone, so calls happen in normal working hours. Workshops run by video, or in person at our Frankfurt office.

What do businesses in Dortmund need from a branding agency?

Hundreds of mid-sized firms are still based in and around Dortmund, alongside insurers such as Signal Iduna. For a brand from Dortmund, that means German copy in the formal “Sie” first, English for export, and a name checked in the DPMA and EUIPO registers before design starts.
