Whether it’s in an exhibition hall or in a meeting, on a major construction site or by a garden fence – that’s where we feel at home. We really listen, prefer to think things through twice, and put into practice what helps people and organisations move forward. We’re honest, reliable, and driven by a passion for turning good ideas into great results. For us, humour isn’t just a bonus – it’s a working principle. We believe that good ideas come more easily when people are laughing. Anyone who works with us knows that we approach communication with heart, professional expertise and transparency.
We move people. Topics. Change.
Since 1990, we have been supporting projects that shape our society – from technology and industry to the energy transition. We understand complex issues, and we understand people too. And it is precisely in these two worlds that we love to work. We highlight what really matters, tell the stories behind it all, and provide clarity rather than confusion. Clear, honest, effective. We combine strategic acumen with dialogue on equal terms – from the boardroom to grassroots initiatives.
We are an owner-managed business. And we’re always on the move.
Kaltwasser Kommunikation was founded in 1990 – and we’ve reinvented ourselves many times since then. Since 2022, we’ve been undergoing a generational transition, and Andreas Schauerte has joined our ‘senior’ bosses, Brigitte Kaltwasser and Bernd Hendl, on the management team. Christina Heinickel, Nadja Ismail, Hannah Fischer, Nina Rittler and Maria Brückner strengthen our management team. Together, we’re shaping the agency’s future.
We are many things. Just not all at once.
Our backgrounds are as diverse as the world outside. From the online marketing expert with a penchant for organisational development, to the environmental engineer with experience in participatory processes, to the PR specialist with a tractor licence: we are all united by the drive to advance the issues that matter to us. Driven by motivation and interest, we deliver our best work – with passion, creativity and a clear focus on our clients’ needs.
We work with others, not against them.
We actively shape how, on what and with whom we work. Both internally and externally, we foster a culture of collegiality and partnership: the team comes first and cooperation trumps competition – except in the race for the best idea. We volunteer in our local community. We support people and organisations close to our hearts with our time, expertise and donations. We have been practising sustainability for many years. In 2021, we produced our first sustainability report. Our motto: #justdoit.
We operate throughout Germany, with offices in Nuremberg, Berlin and Munich.
Nuremberg is our home base, and we have long since established a presence in Munich and Berlin too. Different regions, different perspectives and a team that adapts quickly and confidently wherever we go. Together with our strong network of partners – comprising experts and agencies – we are there where projects take shape and where communication needs to make an impact.
