Felix Hilt, CEO & owner of brandFAMILY, consisting of brandBANDITS, brandLOVERS & brand ESTATES, has joined the Fresenius University (Faculty of Business & Media) in Hamburg as a private lecturer. Felix teaches real estate communication and passes on his extensive knowledge to students. As a specialist in strategic brand management and cross-media communication, Felix is a valuable addition to the teaching team at Fresenius University.

Our real estate unit brandESTATES recently launched its own real estate podcast "MAKE IT REAL" with the hosts Alexander Schmid, founder of Real-Estate Lounge, and Felix Hilt, founder of brandESTATES. The podcast showcases and discusses extraordinary real estate projects that have a major impact on life in our cities. "MAKE IT REAL" is ideal for anyone who is passionate about real estate and wants to learn more about the latest developments and ideas in the industry. Check out our podcast: https://makeitreal.podigee.io

brandLOVERS has taken over the cross-media communication for the real estate project HIDE Alsterdorf. The property by I+D Immobilien appeals to the prominent Hanseatic with its concept: urban and permissive - with a view of nature, yet hidden and very private. The cross-media communication included the naming, logo development, branding, on-site communication, a construction fence banner and a construction sign as well as the construction description and an exclusive exposé.

Experts from the real estate scene gather at the Real Estate Lounge: Not only is there an exchange of knowledge on the subject of real estate, but also presentations are held. In his presentation, Felix Hilt, owner of brandFAMILY, gave insights into the do's and don'ts of storytelling using real examples - explaining why storytelling is still THE decisive tool in marketing products in general and real estate in particular. And so, storytelling must be learned: Outstanding storytelling still makes a big difference in adding value to equivalent products and services.

brandBANDITS - the social media unit of brandLOVERS - developed another influencer concept around Mario Basler, former professional soccer player and coach. With "Schmagges", Mario Basler's unique curry sausage spice mix, eight wide-reaching influencers from Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok created their own personal dish. From BBQ to vegan, fitness, and family kitchens, every type of cuisine was represented. With #Schmagges, not only does everything tastes better, but the curry sausage spice mix also finds its place in every kitchen.

Unfortunately, the corona virus is currently causing mischief and is increasingly restricting us in everyday life. But we don't let it get us down. As usual, we are there for you from our offices in Hamburg, Wismar, Berlin, Vienna and Sydney as well as from numerous home offices. As a precautionary measure we will no longer have personal meetings in the near future. You can easily reach us by phone or email though. Let us continue to work together on exciting projects and defy the virus. Stay healthy!

brandLOVERS have always had a special relationship with Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The ongoing partnership with Animationsfabrik Warnemünde or their work for the TVMV (Tourismus Verband Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) are good examples for this. Now we are intensifying our cooperation with the coastal cities of Rostock and Wismar and expanding our office in Wismar. In this way, we maintain the tradition of the Hanseatic League.

We are nominated! Our campaign for eyewear retailer Edel-Optics featuring soccer star Jérôme Boateng has made the shortlist of the prestigious GWA Effie Award. We are pleased that our work belongs to the most efficient advertising campaigns in Germany. Let’s cross fingers for the finals: Go for Gold!

How does it feel for the members of the Turkish-German community to live between two cultures? Focusing on this question authors Kristina Kara and Firat Kara portray 30 people from politics, science, sports and culture in their book "Haymat – Türkisch-deutsche Ansichten“ (Suhrkamp). We support this unique project with a viral campaign via Facebook and Instagram. As part of this we called upon users to share their values, experiences and thoughts under the hashtag #MyHaymat.

30 condos and two townhouses in Ahrensburg: With its 4,000 m² the real estate ensemble Leveland is the perfect setting for couples and families to enjoy life. At the same time, Leveland is the first project that brandLOVERS work on for their new customer Grossmann & Berger. Naming, logo development, billboard at the construction site and exposé make for a well-rounded package which the customer will enjoy. One can really look forward to the next project.  www.leveland.de

What a location! Weitblick is a new construction located directly on Lake Schwerin. The communication for the ensemble is developed by brandLOVERS. Name and logo development, construction site billboard, website, exposé – the entire range of real estate communication is used. And this means bright prospects, both for the client BPD Immobilienentwicklung and the future residents.

Two are better than one: brandLOVERS’ social media team is looking forward to working with two new clients. VON JÄRTEN & CIE not only has a lot of experience in the Hamburg real estate market, but also brings along their partner company NEUBAUTEAM. The latter specializes in project development and new construction projects. brandLOVERS are now responsible for the social media presence of the two companies. Welcome.

The very first pedestrian mall in Bramfeld sees the light of day. And brandLOVERS are responsible for its complete communication. Housing, shopping on the village square and the new medical center were staged in a target group-oriented manner. In a first step a concise brand name had to be found – BraDo. This was followed by logo design, website development and exposé, as well as further communication measures such as construction site fences or mega-banners. A perfect foundation for the success of this project!

Start spreading the news: brandLOVERS once again developed a brand movie for the NASDAQ Closing Bell Ceremony at the Times Square. The film presents biotech company Immutep and their groundbreaking cancer immunotherapy under the slogan "Bringing new hope to patients". Another big step Immutep is taking to the international markets – accompanied by brandLOVERS.

Green and yet centrally located. Quiet and yet in the middle of the action. How do you get to the heart of a real estate project that combines seeming opposites? With 2inEims brandLOVERS developed a communication concept that combines both aspects of the project in an innovative way. The naming was the basis for a comprehensive, target group-specific package of measures - i.a. with logo design, website and a turnable brochure.

There is no him in hero: Famous TV hostess Sylvie Meis presents her new sunglasses collection at Edel-Optics using this campaign slogan developed by brandLOVERS. The corresponding communication concept shows her as a self-confident, modern woman with many facets to her personality. The campaign interlinks classic channels with online media. By combining the star factor of Sylvie Meis with the target group relevance of micro-influencers, a powerful communication mix is created.

Friends meet Lovers: The third largest sports club in Hamburg, fitness & friends hires a new agency.

From now on, brandLOVERS will take care of getting the communication of the company in shape. Due to their special competence in sports and their strength in brand management, brandLOVERS were able to prevail over two of their competitors. Among other things they were able to convince their new client through their experience as lead agency for the professional basketball team Hamburg Towers.

Care, advice & help: The motto of the Elbdiakonie speaks for itself. A concise and attention-grabbing logo, though, was still missing. This was a task made for brandLOVERS. The fresh blue that was developed for the logo is now also found in many other design elements – for example on the website.

We are delighted to work with diabetes center Barmbek in the future. The new customer has entrusted the agency brandLOVERS with the creative execution of a poster campaign on the topic diabetes. The communicative goal is to motivate people to have their diabetes risk tested preventively or to clear up uncertainties and questions about the disease directly in the center. Looking forward to a good cooperation!

On behalf of online store Edel-Optics, brandLOVERS created a top-notch campaign for an exclusive eyeglasses collection, designed by soccer world champion and style-icon Jerome Boateng. The collection surprises with a fresh design and modern elegance, its motto "Defend Your Style" represents the individual, uncompromising cosmopolitan. The premium designer eyewear will be available from May 2016, both online and in the Hamburg flagshipstore.

“Totally gaming” at this year’s ICE Games in London: The world's biggest trade fair for gaming featured brand lovers demonstrating their skills for client JCM and developing a booth that was both, modern and eye-catching. The result: Top scores for a great cooperation.

Congratulations! JCM, the leading global provider of automated transaction solutions, is celebrating its 60th anniversary. At brandLOVERS, we are proud to have stood beside the company since our inception, with plenty of brand love to spread around. Because achieving success is never automatic, even at JCM. Let us toast: to another 60 years!

An increasing number of real estate companies have chosen to rely on the outstanding expertise offered by brandLOVERS, benefiting from targeted, strategic, and well thought-out marketing. The results can be seen in many of the prestigious projects dotted around the whole of Hamburg, including upTOWNHOUSES (wph/Icon), Ufer 21 (BPD/Thomas Klinke), Neutona (Planpark/Sparda Immobilien), the VIEW (IMVest/Icon), the IsePerlen (Gg Bergstrasse/Marklerei/BKT) and HEOS (Otto Wulff /Strabag).

The Australian company LWP specialising in oil and gas technology is shining brighter than ever. The publicly-traded company has recently begun tapping a brand new source of energy: its newly developed logo, and fresh corporate redesign. brandLOVERS are proud to have been behind this new momentum, and we are ecstatic at the opportunity of doing business with a new customer from way Down Under. The word must clearly get around when it comes to quality work: even to the ends of the earth!

We have prescribed a strategic marketing and branding break for the four thermal pools and two hotel complexes belonging to one of our newest customers, 'Stork-Hotels&Thermen'. The new slogan "Meine Auszeit für mich" (My break from everyday life) will now unite all of these facilities with one common theme. With shootings in each of the locations, we will be heralding the start of a major brand relaunch in November. We are proud to be working with one of Germany's most successful family-owned companies.

Bringing even more wellness into the New Year: in 2015, you can once again enjoy midnight saunas in locations across the whole of Germany. The spas of Ostsee Therme, Sachsen Therme, Westfalen Therme and the  Rhein-Main-Therme are putting on a tour-de-force with over 20 creatively themed nights, such as the Hocus Pocus sauna night with magically themed moments, or the Comic sauna where you can steam together with Asterix and Obelix. We are pleased to have the opportunity to once again host Stork UG's country-wide midnight sauna campaign this year.

New name, proven concept: Hamburg-based nursing-service “Intervall” has dropped anchor. The new company name "heimathafen" (safe haven) developed by brandLOVERS will strengthen the brand identity of the company, ushering in a new era of business. The company's goal, which is to offer a safe haven to customers through "home care", is now stated directly in the company's new name. The rollout of the naming campaign will be supported by a new corporate design, and an advertising campaign with a Hanseatic slant.

International companies that want to make their mark on the German market need the right partner. Since 2006, brandLOVERS has been successfully helping international corporations to launch in Germany. After Prima BioMed (phamaceutical), SunExpress (airlines) and JCM (cash machines), the Australian companies Rhinomed and OncoSil (both phamaceutical) have now set out to conquer one of Europe's largest markets in partnership with brandLOVERS.

The publicly traded Australian biotech company Prima BioMed is getting a new website. The leading developer of immunotherapy treatments for cancer is strengthening its brand presence with a design developed by us. Once again, we feel that we have done our name justice – brandLOVERS – a testament to our passion and love for brands: www.primabiomed.com.au

The Neuer Wall is a must for any shopping trip in the Hamburg area. These 1200m harbour the store-fronts of the most exclusive brands. brandLOVERS developed the slogan "HAMBURG'S PRIME ADRESS" and an integrated campaign advertising the most high-end shopping avenue in Hamburg together with its specially developed app.

In an extraordinary campaign, the church of St. Pauli is preparing for the Protestant day of the Kirchentag: both of the pastors, Sieghard Wilm and Martin Paulekun are spraying red arrows all over the city district, guiding people towards their church. This innovative path-finding system was developed by brandLOVERS. All set for Kirchentag!

Hamburg is our home. We are therefore proud to announce that we have now been entrusted with the care of one of Hamburg's Universities, the TUHH – joining the ranks of the St. Pauli church, multiple Hamburg sports federations and many Hamburg-based companies. The presentation designed by brandLOVERS was the TUHH's submission for the nationwide competition "EXIST-Gründungskultur – Die Gründerhochschule" (EXIST-Start-up Culture – The School of Entrepreneurship). The newly developed "TUHH Startup Dock" by Prof. Dr. Christoph Ihl now actively supports young entrepreneurs in Hamburg. We wish everybody the best of luck with this project.

Facebook don't have the monopoly on the seven-story NASDAQ Tower on Times Square. Currently, a film made by brandLOVERS is adorning its impressive façade. brandLOVERS assisted Prima BioMed, the shooting star of cancer research companies, in preparing for the Opening Ceremony. The opening was a massive hit!

The film was broadcast to over 25 different countries, using the services of Brodcast.

For the third year running, brandLOVERS are prompting people to prick up their ears in collaboration with LomaLinda. The agency partners have been organising Oticon's European campaign with the usual creativity. Following up from last year's WOW effect, this year's campaign features Hannelore Elsner's personal testimonial as the centrepiece. The project slogan: "Hören wie damals. Mit Technologie von heute." (Hearing like yesterday. With the technology of today.) This technology is naturally provided by Oticon.
