Über uns

Wir sind act.3 und wir sind mehr als nur eine Agentur. Wir sind eine Gemeinschaft und zusammen wollen wir mit unserer Leidenschaft nachhaltig die Zukunft von Marken durch Menschen und Kultur gestalten.

Im Jahr 2012 begann unsere Reise in Herzogenaurach als exklusiver Partner von adidas, der UEFA und des FC Bayerns. Mittlerweile sind wir auf der ganzen Welt zuhause, denn wir hinterfragen stetig unsere eigenen Grenzen und überschreiten diese im Austausch zwischen Menschen und Marken.

Unser Ziel ist es uns gegenseitig, und auch Marken zu befähigen, echte Veränderungen bei Menschen zu bewirken und letztendlich unsere Welt zu einem glücklicheren Ort zu machen. Das Miteinander und unsere Kultur sind daher zentrale Bestandteile unserer Arbeit. Wir glauben das Marketing niemals gleich sein kann, daher betrachten wir alles ganzheitlich: angefangen von Strategien, Kreativität bis hin zu Erlebnissen. Wir sind heute eine globale Gemeinschaft mit über 250 Mitarbeiter*innen in 18 Standorten vertreten auf 6 Kontinenten. So ist auch unser Netzwerk aus ausgewählten Partner*innen auf der ganzen Welt verteilt, um die Bereiche Sport, Kultur und Nachhaltigkeit zu bereichern.
