We Are
Eine globale Kommunikationsagentur, die Marken durch kulturelle Insights erfolgreicher macht.
Unser Ansatz basiert auf einer einfachen Tatsache: Menschen mögen keine Werbung. Und sie können ihr durch ständig neue Technologien und Plattformen immer besser ausweichen. Paid Media wird dadurch zunehmend an Wirkung verlieren.
Dieses Problem gehen wir durch unseren neuen Ansatz, unsere einzigartigen Strukturen, Produkte und Abläufe an und stellen sicher, dass Marken relevant und im Bewusstsein der Konsumenten verankert bleiben.
Unser Ansatz ist neu, unser Versprechen bleibt: wir liefern maßgeschneiderte, datengetriebene Insights und holen mit höchster Transparenz das Beste aus den Werbespendings unserer Kunden.
- WARUM?
- EMOTION
- WERT
- LOYALITÄT
Wir sind stolz, die folgenden Marken weltweit zu unseren Partnern zählen zu dürfen.

Amy Armstrong
Global CEO
Amy was appointed Global CEO in March 2021 and she believes that without a doubt, talent is what enables a culture, and ultimately a company, to thrive. This is no new-found belief, instead it's one that has shaped her career since she started with IPG 20 years ago. By continuously actioning on this belief, she's built teams & nurtured an environment that has resulted in "turnarounds” that some would have deemed near-impossible. Amy strives to create a company that matters & makes a difference in the lives of employees, in clients' business, and in the industry as a whole. Amy has held roles at various IPG agencies for over 20 years, most recently as US CEO for Initiative. Since joining Initiative in 2016, Amy transformed the company's US operations, including driving business results for her clients and substantial revenue growth for the agency. During her tenure, the US received accolades including being named US Comeback Agency of the Year by Ad Age, US Media Agency of the Year by Adweek, and named a Best Place to Work by Ad Age. The standard that she represents made her a natural selection for 2018's Awarding Jury at Cannes for Media. A client roster that spans multiple industry sectors from Entertainment, Technology, Wireless, Healthcare and CPG/FMCG is testament to her acumen for growth and transformation. She proudly makes public her commitment and actions to increase diversity & inclusion within Initiative globally, recognizing that there is still a lot of work to be done in this area. Leading by example and taking nothing for granted, Amy champions the importance of wellness + making time to be with your community, family and passions. Unsurprisingly, this would be her twin sons.
