More Growth Through Strategic Digital Marketing

Viele Startups investieren in Wachstum, ohne zu wissen, welche Kanäle zu ihrem Geschäftsmodell passen, wie ihre digitale Wertschöpfung funktionieren kann oder welche Kennzahlen wirklich relevant sind.

Wir denken anders: Wir planen gemeinsam mit Ihnen, wie digitales Marketing zu Wachstum und Wachstumszielen beiträgt und übernehmen bei Bedarf die vollständige Koordination als externe Marketingabteilung. Bevor wir starten, prüfen wir ehrlich, ob wir realistisches Potenzial für Ihr Startup sehen. Wenn ja, bauen wir eine Grundlage, die mit Ihnen skaliert.

    The Critical Challenges Facing Startups in the Growth Phase

    Too much going on at once, not enough structure

    You’re developing a product, leading a team, and talking to investors—all while trying to build your digital presence. Resources are limited, and the pressure to deliver is high. To achieve quick results, you hire an in-house marketing jack-of-all-trades who is expected to manage all channels at once.

    Does this sound familiar to you?

    • No clear idea of which digital channels are truly effective

    • The website doesn't reflect how far along your product is

    • Investing in marketing, but qualified leads are not coming in

    • The reports show activity, but no figures that would convince investors

    • Operational needs, but no resources for a full team

    Why Traditional Marketing Approaches Fail for Startups

    Ein Startup ist kein klassisches kleines oder mittleres Unternehmen und muss daher anders vermarktet werden. Die Anforderungen an Geschwindigkeit, Skalierbarkeit und Messbarkeit sind grundlegend andere. Wer mit generischen Kampagnen oder vorgefertigten Strategien startet, verbrennt Budget, ohne echte Traktion aufzubauen. Die erste 12 Monate entscheiden häufig über die Zukunft des Unternehmens und müssen zeigen, dass die digitale Wertschöpfung grundsätzlich funktionieren kann.

    What startups really need is a digital setup that scales with them: ready to go quickly, measurable at every step, and consistently focused on the target audience—whether that’s customers, partners, or investors.

    Wie wir Startups unterstützen

    Externe digitale Marketingabteilung

    If needed, we can step in as interim managers to handle all aspects of your digital marketing: taking strategic responsibility, managing day-to-day operations, and ensuring clear communication both internally and externally. This is particularly valuable if you don’t yet have your own marketing team or if you need additional capacity on short notice during a growth phase without having to establish permanent structures.

    Digitale Wertschöpfung von Anfang an

    Before a single campaign goes live, we work together to address the key questions, define relevant KPIs for all stakeholders, and develop a strategy and project plan for the first 12 months.

    This planning of digital value creation serves as the starting point for every collaboration and replaces gut feelings with a solid foundation.

    Identifikation von Skalierungs­potentialen

    Nachhaltiges Wachstum entsteht nicht durch kurzfristigen Aktionismus, sondern durch eine Strategie, die langfristig gedacht ist und trotzdem nie stehen bleibt. Wir begleiten Ihr Startup kontinuierlich und identifizieren dabei stetig neue Potenziale: neue Kanäle, die zu Ihrer Reife passen, Zielgruppen, die Sie noch nicht adressieren, oder Märkte, die der nächste logische Schritt sind. Nicht auf Bauchgefühl, sondern auf Basis von Daten.

    Skalierbare technische Infrastruktur

    From day one, we build a transparent, scalable technical foundation: accurate tracking, GDPR-compliant data collection, and real-time dashboards that keep you informed about the performance of your campaigns at all times.

    Finanz- und Mediaplanung

    Zu Beginn der Zusammenarbeit unterstützen wir Sie bei der Finanz- und Mediaplanung: Welches Budget ist für Ihre Phase realistisch? Wie verteilen Sie es sinnvoll auf Kanäle und Maßnahmen? Diese Planung schafft Orientierung – für Sie, Ihr Team und Ihre Investor:innen.

    Reportings für Stakeholder

    We prepare your marketing data so that it is clear and meaningful to external stakeholders— whether it’s growth metrics, CAC, lead quality, or a breakdown of channel performance.

    Und wir gehen einen Schritt weiter: Gemeinsam schaffen wir klare Datenstrukturen und skalierbare Reporting-Systeme, die das volle Wachstumspotenzial Ihres Startups sichtbar machen. Für Investor:innen, die in der nächsten Finanzierungsrunde entscheiden, zählen keine Aktivitätsberichte, sondern belastbare Daten, die Vertrauen schaffen und Ihre Skalierbarkeit belegen.

    Whether it's seed funding, Series A, or beyond: We help you build the data foundation that not only prepares you for future funding rounds but also actively secures them.

    helped osapiens achieve unicorn status

    osapiens develops cloud-based software solutions for sustainability reporting and ESG management and now has over 1,300 customers worldwide. As the Mannheim-based company accelerated its international expansion, it needed a digital infrastructure that could keep pace with this growth.

    Since 2023, we have been supporting osapiens on this journey: from the initial website relaunch to the development of a scalable multi-site WordPress system and ad campaigns in over 20 countries.

    The result: In January 2026, following a $100 million funding round, the company reached a market value of $1 billion, thereby achieving the coveted unicorn status.

    "Partner & Söhne haben für uns zwei Website-Projekte (Wordpress Multisite) erfolgreich umgesetzt und betreut. Außerdem haben wir im Bereich Performance Marketing (Google Ads) zusammengearbeitet. Das Projektteam war super zuverlässig, professionell und hat Änderungen immer schnell und flexibel umgesetzt. Dabei lief die Kommunikation reibungslos und es wurden sehr gute Vorschläge zur Optimierung eingebracht. Es hat viel Spaß gemacht mit dem Team zusammenzuarbeiten und ich kann Partner & Söhne als Agentur nur empfehlen."
    Lucinda Schütz - Marketing & Communications Manager bei osapiens

    Achieve a successful funding round with foodforecast

    foodforecast is revolutionizing the food industry with AI-powered sales forecasts and automated ordering processes. Since 2021, we have been supporting the Cologne-based tech startup on its journey—from its first website to successful funding rounds and international expansion.

    From the very beginning, our role went beyond traditional agency work: We built a robust digital infrastructure that enabled foodforecast to focus on its core business. The tracking and marketing automation solutions we developed laid the groundwork for data-driven decisions at every stage of growth.

    The result: foodforecast now uses its technology in thousands of stores, has automated millions of orders, and secured a funding round of three million euros in 2024. The next round followed in February 2026: an additional eight million euros to support the company’s sustainable growth.

    With Partner & Söhne , we had someone right from the start who not only advised us, but really supported us. They took us from a German website to an international platform in five languages, opened up LinkedIn as a sales channel and set up lead tracking with HubSpot. They supported us digitally in every phase - whether it was founding, financing or scaling. This combination of digital expertise and long-term thinking is exactly what a start-up needs.
