ad freak

Based in Aachen, ad freak is an owner-led advertising agency working with small and mid-sized businesses (Mittelstand) that need marketing handled end-to-end rather than through multiple specialist providers. The agency positions itself as a full-service partner, taking on branding, digital presence and advertising for companies across sectors, and it is authorized to work with the Go-Digital funding programme, which it offers to eligible clients at a reduced rate compared with other agencies. Its team of up to ten people covers strategy, design, production and paid media under one roof, aiming to combine measurable results with a consistent visual identity for each client. Services cover web design, web development and hosting, corporate design and graphic design, SEO and SEA (including Google Ads campaign management), video and film production, and broader marketing strategy and advertising work. Example projects include a two-part image film produced for an air ambulance provider, which supported award recognition at an industry event, and a full platform rebuild plus ongoing marketing for a school-trip travel operator with destinations across multiple countries. Work typically starts with a consultation to assess a client's positioning before moving into concept development, followed by implementation across the relevant channels — design, site build, content production and paid campaigns — with the agency handling both creative output and technical delivery for each engagement.
