Client quote
"ebene c guided us safely and almost playfully through the process. Thanks to the intensive preparation and the structured approach, we were able to concentrate fully on the content. The learnings from the expert interviews were also important. As external and brand specialists, Stefan Bohrmann and Arne Mack were able to ask different questions and thus develop valuable insights for the Heraeus Nexensos brand and communication."
