About us
The story so far: We have been connecting people, brands and markets since 1993. We launched initially as “pro event” with classic events. This quickly developed into creative and content-based live communication. And then the digital world came along and a rebrand was in order. Today we are known as ottomisu and cover the whole range of brand communication – primarily on live and digital channels. Because these are the only channels where interaction and dialogue are possible. No relationship has ever emerged from monologues.
In everything we do, we are driven by the desire to build sustainable relationships between brands and their markets. With the help of our creative, technical and organisational talents, communities are created that are shaped by real values and interests and are based on high mutual appreciation. This is what we mean by #connectivity. And yes, that’s always very individual and different every time. That's exactly why you can't buy anything "off the peg" from us.
values
We are valuable
The world of marketing is full of emotive mission statements and value manifestos. That's exactly what we didn't want. Nevertheless, many things are important to us in our cooperation. That’s why we defined our most important values in a holistic and democratic process involving the entire team. Not only the specific terms, but most importantly, the associations or definitions that go with them. What is written under each value is not simply copied from Wikipedia or some marketing jargon, but is a summary of what each of us individually associates with the respective value.
We understand respect to mean that we accept other opinions, views and achievements, and do not judge and evaluate them according to our own standards. We meet all people on an equal footing, see and treat them without prejudice, and leave room for their different needs. Respecting, upholding and adhering to agreements is another sign of respect for us. We respect everything – as long as it is not inhumane. That is where our respect ends.
We communicate clearly about requirements, expectations and consequences. In this way, we create the security for joint action among all those involved. We keep our word and trust each other.
Passion is our drive to do something really, really well. We put our hearts and souls into our work and are prepared to take risks. For us, passion means serious commitment out of conviction and is a prerequisite for joint success.
We understand the meaning and impact of a task and what we (collectively or as individuals) can contribute to it. In doing so, we never lose sight of the bigger picture – especially the sustainable and value-creating significance of our actions. We want to leave traces and not just dust.
Health is the most valuable thing we have. We make a conscious effort to respect and promote our own health and that of others so that everyone is in good shape physically, mentally and spiritually. Health is the cornerstone of our staff and resource planning. We know our own limits and those of our colleagues and do not go beyond them.
We’re all on the same page. We are committed to providing mutual support and ensuring that we always have an open ear and look out for one another. This includes great mutual trust and the desire of each and every individual to contribute and make a difference. Team spirit, for us, means being able to act and work as a team consistently.
We understand creativity as the clever combination of ideas, approaches and potential solutions. It is based on broad knowledge and thus leads to groundbreaking and meaningful results. We give ourselves the necessary freedom for a playful approach, try things out with curiosity, and enjoy creating and shaping new ideas and concepts. We have the courage to leave well-trodden paths, processes and thought patterns, and fight together for the best solution.
We treat our fellow human beings as equals. Their abilities and achievements are important and valuable to us. We show them this respect and give them visible and tangible recognition and trust in return and expect the same for ourselves.
For us, honesty is a form of sincerity. We have the courage to openly address positive and negative aspects, and practise a constructive and respectful feedback culture.

moments
Beyond business
If you really want to get to know a company, it's often worth taking a look at what's not at the top of the website. A look behind the scenes of the glossy projects and promotional self-portrayal. Following recent feedback from applicants hinting that more of an effort should be made to show what makes us tick and what it's like to work for and with us, we decided to give these insights a place here. Here are three of our favourite stories. We’ll tell you more in person.
Taking a stand for climate change
On 20 September 2019, the #FridaysForFuture organisation urged people of all ages from all around the world to take to the streets with the students and show that they too will not stand idly by when the future of all of us is at stake. And we didn’t disappoint. We tell the whole story in our magazine.
A merry different xmas
Instead of giving presents to our clients and partners at Christmas, in 2015 we decided to give joy to a few little people who at the time had little reason to be happy. Many of us are committed to helping other people. Here we did it together as a team.
Our first BarCamp
As the company repositioned itself in 2018, we also repeatedly put our working methods to the test. After our sabbatical, in order to work together with all our colleagues on topics that are really relevant to everyone, we decided to use the BarCamp method and do a bit of filming in the process.
Relationships
Who we work with
We also believe in the power of real relationships with our strategic partners. Continuity and consistency are features of our projects, depending on who is available “from the network” at the time. Our “relationships” have grown over the years and matured in many joint projects. We understand what each party brings to the table and we value and trust each other.
From a purely technical point of view, our partners have exactly the skills needed to work for our customers holistically and successfully in the sense of connectivity. From the analytical and strategic preparation of content to professional film productions, creative planning and editing in social networks to digital programming and realisation.
