Publicity is being used more than ever to shine a spotlight on specific skills and competencies and to build an enterprise’s profile amongst its target groups. Newsworthiness, credibility and service-orientation are key factors in the drive to reach opinion leaders and customers.

Faktenkontor achieves these goals by uniting three disciplines:
In their Research Factory and Survey Factory we create facts.
The News Factory takes this factual basis and positions our clients as subject leaders in their segment – because we know that it takes a strong position in the media to build significant recognition and create tangible market success.

"Our consultancy team implements our clients’ campaigns, right through to media planning and media booking, with a sure hand and a clear focus on targets." says Roland Heintze, Managing Partner and contunues: "In addition to our specialised disciplines (research, market and opinion surveys) Faktenkontor also offers the full range of classic press and media services:

    * Strategic consultancy and concepts
    * Compiling mailing lists & building journalist media contacts
    * Initiation of media cooperations
