Fruehling

Operating from Munich since 1997, this branding and design agency works with brands, companies and startups seeking to position themselves for future growth. Its client roster includes names such as Comfort Republic, Contur, Contur Küchen, Edeka, HDBW and Hugendubel (including Hugendubel Kids), spanning established retail and consumer businesses as well as younger ventures. The team is small, in the range of one to ten people, operating under the legal name fruehling advertising group GmbH, led by Friedo Klingenheben and Ulla Müller-Frey. The agency's declared services cover Search Engine Optimization, Advertising, Social Media Marketing, Content Marketing and Video Production, combining strategic brand positioning with campaign development across channels. Its stated approach centers on brand growth: identifying new brand potential and communication ideas, connecting perspectives and tactics drawn from different markets, and translating these into concepts, campaigns and content pieces such as clips and music. The agency describes incorporating generative artificial intelligence into its processes, using it to speed up analysis and support idea development, tactics and execution alongside human strategic and creative work. Work is framed around building emotional connection with audiences rather than transactional customer relationships, with output intended to run across multiple communication channels rather than a single format.
