Philosophy
Personally and directly
We place value on competent and individual long-term advice and support.
As a customer you talk to the owners, not to any unit. Our wording is clear, means, that our communication is understandable, straightforward and focused.And if necessary, we have controversial discussions with you, cause for us it is about your business and company.
We want to convince, not persuade. That is why we develop strategies and concepts together with you and bring them up to the point.
We have made it a rule for us to take short distances. This is proven internally and externally with our partners, because everyone benefits. You can always rely on an experienced network – all times to your advantage.
What some of our customers say:
Strukturgeber GmbH, CEO Marc Schmidt: ‘This year, it is the first time for our young company that we decided to participate at an exhibition – over several months we have been discussing internally how to manage this. Then it took a 10 minute-discussion with IWS and we had a structure, a concept, a good feeling and ideas for future activities.’
Kamstrup A/S, Corporate Editor, Corporate Marketing, Gert Skriver: ‘We are very glad that we chose for IWS, and I am sure that we will work even more and closer together in the future!’
Kamstrup A/S, Product Group Manager Heat & Cooling Meters, Søren Lang: ‘Gunnar, I hardly never worked together with someone with your speed, dedication and experience.’
Grundfos GmbH, Head of Communications and PR, Dirk Schmitz: ‘There are very few business partners with whom we work on a high level and always with convincing results for so many years. The creativity impresses and convinces us again and again. Also in handling the team of IWS managed every job – no matter how big it was – implemented quickly and professionally … and humanly it just fits!’
PARAFLUID, CEO, Markus Mencke: ‘IWS has asked the right questions about our markets, customers and products right from the beginning. IWS listens carefully analyzes goal-oriented. From many individual results the agency has created a vast body and has implemented it professionally. Our slogan “Raffinierte Basisprodukte” was and is really a great idea!’
United Grinding Group, Sales Manager, Peter Lütjens: ‘IWS especially controls the brand management very well and covers our 8 international corporate brands under one hood. For all kinds of tasks, from the brochures through to exhibition stand designs IWS is a reliable partner that always helps us with new good ideas. The cooperation is very productive and also makes fun …’
WISURA, CEO, Steffen Wolf: ‘In revising our branding IWS has built a bridge between our 100-year company anniversary and a systematic, modern brand identity. Here, the coherent concept and the numerous ideas for future activities have convinced. The successful revision of our trademark opta underlines the success of the cooperation with IWS.’
tesa, from the board: ‘… with pride and gratitude we look back to the past year: … tesa has continued its promising business in the previous years and has strengthen its position in the markets. … The main basis of our success is and will be the trust of our customers and trading partners.

IWS was founded in 1972 by Horst Schmidt and Siegfried Kaufmann as Industriewerbung H. Schmidt oHG, offering communication solutions for the industry and investment goods. At That time this market was a little-noticed niche. But it was a bold move to position the agency right here. Schmidt and Kaufmann laid the foundation for that, what IWS offers today as an agency for b2b communication.
Through the successful generation change in 2004, today Gunnar Janssen leads the company.
Incidentally, the most new customers we get, come through recommendations. And most of the customers we have lost once, came back to us. We appreciate that.
Who wants to communicate successful in the future, needs a competent partner. It is important to talk open about yesterday, today and tomorrow and to discover the ability to take new perspectives in sight. Invest this time, it’s worth it. Today, tomorrow, or next week at the very latest.
