BERND Gesellschaft für Kommunikation mbH

Service partner

BERND - the agency with a name! We are a young, dynamic team in the heart of Berlin. We are united by values, visions and the way we work. The Westhafen is our home and the ICE is our jour fixe. Ideas come from the capital - ideas come with BERND!

Live communication at BERND is always an event. In both senses of the word. Because informative conferences or meetings are just as memorable as eye-catching roadshows or a glamorous gala. We are your all-round partner when it comes to events and their strategic orientation.

As a communications agency, we offer you professional support in the design and realisation of your communication. Whether you want to strengthen your brand, convince your customers or present your company in the media - we are the right contact for all questions relating to communication.
