What we do
Creating Radical Change.
We work relentlessly to create radical change for the Internet - we are redefining the way people browse the Internet in response to their needs.
Actually we work on more than one web tool.
One of these is already publicly available - Fytch enables you to write, read and share comments at any web site. Immediately while browsing, without leaving the page you are on. Using Fytch, people share their opinions, ideas and reviews directly on the website where their thoughts refer to.
Check it out at fytch.com.
The hatchery of our vision is located at latitude 53° North and longitude 10° East, which translates into Hamburg, Germany.
How we work
Interdisciplinary creativity.
Pinpoint Precision. Direct action.
We combine a unique sense of creativity with perfection. Underlying all of our work is a fundamental commitment to taking direct action, well-conceived but immediately.
We believe in the power of interdisciplinary creativity. Trusting and respecting the indivudual strenghts of each other enables us to leverage personal experience and expertise for the benefit of the whole thing. However, only our exceptional ability to perfectly piece together this variety of special knowledge awakens and fosters interdisciplinary creativity. And when it comes to the execution of this creativity, we bring in our common understanding for pinpoint precision.
At the same time, we strongly believe in the power of immediate taking direct action: Starting getting things done is much more productive than endless discussions about fictive details and super-potential issues. As long as the desired result is in the thick of the action, there is always enough time to discuss relevant details after prototyping a quick mock-up or outlining a first draft for a marketing initiative.
