Scholz & Friends

One of Germany's top independent-heritage creative agency networks with strong presence across DACH and Central/Eastern Europe

Scholz & Friends is one of Germany's most prominent and award-winning creative agency networks, founded in Hamburg. The agency offers a full spectrum of integrated communications services including brand strategy, creative advertising, digital marketing, PR, and content production. With offices across major European cities including Berlin, Hamburg, Zurich, Vienna, and Warsaw, the network serves a wide range of blue-chip clients across consumer, B2B, and public sector categories. The agency has built a strong reputation for culturally resonant, idea-led creative work and has consistently ranked among the top creative agencies in German-speaking markets. Scholz & Friends operates as part of a broader holding structure and competes directly with global network agencies as well as independent creative shops. Its integrated model allows clients to access strategy, creative, media planning, and digital execution under one roof. While not a pure-play AdTech company, Scholz & Friends intersects with the AdTech ecosystem through its digital production capabilities, data-driven creative services, programmatic creative consulting, and partnerships with media and technology platforms. The agency's significance lies in its ability to bridge traditional brand-building with modern digital and performance marketing disciplines for major European advertisers.
