\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\tFive leading German digital agencies are joining forces under the DEPT\u00ae name. Following the rebranding, DEPT\u00ae now employs more than 400 people in Germany alone across six key cities all the while servicing well-known customers such as DB Schenker, Nivea, Otto, Philips, and Samsung.\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\tLast April, after the DEPT\u00ae network had announced to continue as one single digital agency, the time has come for the German and Danish agencies to merge. The rebranding will pull together the knowledge, and industry experiences of German agencies BE EXCELLENT, superReal, Trust Agents, visumate and XAVA Media, as well as the Danish agency, QuantAds.\t<\/p>\n\n\n\t\tWhat makes DEPT\u00ae stand out, is that its organisational structure is made up of individual departments, such as Brand & Advertising, Digital Marketing, E-Commerce and Marketplaces. All of which were previously independent agencies; extremely specialised in their field and brought innovation and acceleration to their clients. After successfully working together for joint clients such as Birkenstock and Weber, the German and Danish rebranding under the DEPT\u00ae name now follows suit.\t<\/p>\n\n\n\t\tCologne-based Amazon Marketing specialist,\u00a0factor-a<\/a>, will continue operating under its own name as part of DEPT\u00ae. Within only two years, factor-a has grown from a startup to eventually becoming Europe\u2019s largest specialised Amazon vendor agency with 120 employees, and is currently focusing on further international expansion as part of the DEPT\u00ae brand.\t<\/p>\n\n\n\t\tDEPT\u00ae wants to emphasise its value to customers who wish to lead the way in the digital landscape with their mission statement: \u2018we help our clients reinvent & accelerate their digital reality\u2019.\t<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\u201cWhen it comes to their digital business, companies nowadays are looking for a key partner. By combining creativity, technology and data, we believe that DEPT\u00ae is the agency model of the future\u201d, says Dimi Albers, CEO of DEPT\u00ae. \u201cWe are big enough to serve end-to-end businesses, yet small enough to have a personal connection with every customer, be it B2C or B2B, start-up, mid-size, or multinational.\u201d\t<\/p>\n\n\n\t\tSince 2016 DEPT\u00ae has grown into an international agency with over 1000 employees, spreading over ten countries with a turnover of 125 million euros. DEPT\u00ae is striving to become one of the leading digital agencies worldwide in the next years.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
