Profile

Who we are

We make companies capable of acting in the digital world: with experts for every digital discipline, from Karlsruhe and Barcelona.

Facts, not façade

Since 2010
Digital work with mid-market and brand clients: 16 years of practice, not theory.
60
Strategists in Karlsruhe and Barcelona, many nationalities, flat hierarchies.
30+
AI projects in the mid-market: the basis of our AI Operations work.

With no loans and no investors, the company owns itself. That brings full freedom. It also brings shared responsibility for success and for the future, which is why hierarchies here are flat.

How we work

01

As equals

Experts who commit to their clients’ goals: as part of the team, not as a service provider at arm’s length.

02

Proactive and forward-looking

We do not implement anything we are not convinced by. We push back when needed, always with a constructive proposal.

03

Thorough and fast

Plenty of questions up front, critical ones included. After that, fast input and feedback: nobody should be waiting on us.

Our values

Six values carry the collaboration, within the team and with clients:

Deliver

Be proactive · React fast · Exceed expectations

Review

Focus on essentials · Think ahead · Disagree for the better

Engage

Commit yourself · Share what you know · Love what you do

Respect

Be empathetic · Offer support · Be open-minded

Promise

Connect the dots · Be realistic · Get your hands dirty

Celebrate

Celebrate success. Together.

All disciplines under one roof

Strategy, marketing, SEO and content, design and UX, analytics, development, e-commerce: every discipline works under one roof here, in mixed teams on client projects. The short path between the different areas of expertise is the reason strategies turn into implementation with us.

Management

Flat hierarchies do not mean no accountability. The company is represented by:

Two offices, one team

netzstrategen office in Karlsruhe

Karlsruhe

At home in the Kreativpark Alter Schlachthof: meetings and workshops happen in the FUX building, Alter Schlachthof 33, 5th floor (registered office: Alter Schlachthof 47), 76131 Karlsruhe. The doors are open: for a coffee, a conversation or the Feierabend #nmfka meetup on the second Tuesday of the month.

Barcelona

Barcelona is where our technology is built: 200 square metres with room for up to 12 netzstrategen, the second home port of our international team.

What is built there →

We are listed in the German official register of prequalified companies (Amtliches Verzeichnis Präqualifizierter Unternehmen, AVPQ) and therefore meet the requirements for public sector contracts.

Jobs: careers with us

The team is growing and welcomes new faces. What we offer: structured onboarding with a mentor, regular feedback conversations with an individual development plan, an active compensation model and responsibility from day one. When and where people work is up to each of them: in the office, at home or on the road.

01

Application

The more detail, the better: we want to get to know the person behind the application.

02

Introductory interview

Around 60 minutes: mutual expectations, experience, skills and whether the fit is right.

03

Trial task

About 5 hours of work, presented to future team members.

04

Contract and start

Settle the formalities, sign. Then structured onboarding starts, with a mentor.

Talent pool

Not the right moment: wrong timing, no open role? We are happy to add applicants to our talent pool and get in touch as soon as something opens up. With us or in our network.

Prefer to meet us first?

Every second Tuesday of the month: Feierabend #nmfka at the Alter Schlachthof: talks, drinks, conversation.
