About

We enable companies to shape change themselves.

Convecto

One office, multiple time zones

Convecto was founded in 2000 and is still managed by the two people who started it. A small team of eight works from our office in Offenbach, Germany. The rest are freelancers from all over the world. Big agencies with full floors have had their day. We would rather bring in the best people, wherever they live. Concept, design and engineering still sit in one team.

Years of experience: 26+
Projects: 900+
Owner managed: 100%

Our 5 principles

Every project we take on, whether brand, software or AI, goes back to these five statements.

01/ 05
Principle
We strengthen what AI can’t copy.
When AI produces text, images and software for anyone, the difference lies in what a brand stands for and which issues it takes up. We develop this point of view with our clients and make it visible in their offers, services and customer experiences.
02/ 05
Principle
We put strategy to work.
We combine concept, design and technology into solutions that work in day-to-day operations. For us, a strategy is only finished once it is up and running.
03/ 05
Principle
We work with the people who decide.
Change only succeeds when the people who decide on direction, budget and implementation are at the table. That is why we only work with clients whose decision-makers actively back the partnership.
04/ 05
Principle
We build our clients’ capabilities.
We pass on our knowledge in systems, tools and ways of working. This lets our clients make informed decisions and drive change themselves, even when we are not in the room.
05/ 05
Principle
We are measured by our impact.
At the start, we agree with our clients what should improve and review progress regularly. Because our clients can do more themselves over time, we offer pricing models based on the value we create.

Convecto Group

Development, operations and more…

Over the years, Convecto grew into the Convecto Group. Today the group also includes cloudshift, Chatbits, Anonix and JUNA RECORDS. Where it makes sense, the brands work together, for example when cloudshift runs an application that Convecto has built.
