We like to focus our attention on the specific issues and local needs. This means that our promotional work always remains very specific, comprehensible and effective. In over 25 years, we have been able to support countless projects, initiatives, organisations and people. Not all of them have achieved their planned goal. But all of them have tried – and that's what counts for us.
If you are also involved in a special project that is worthy of our support, please do not hesitate to contact us.
