A Profile of cekom, Cologne

Profile

Founded in 1993 under the name ”cekom Agentur für Werbung und Software” (cekom Agency for Advertising and Software).

Successful projects during the ensuing years in the fields of classical advertising, Internet programming, and CD-ROM programming.

cekom further developed its core competencies during this time
period – alongside classical advertising, strong evolution also occurred above all in the field of the New Media:

• Web design, primarily as interface design, i.e. usability-oriented – because ease of use is a decisive factor in a website’s success. Of course, good visual design is also essential.
  
  
• Internet solutions that uphold lofty technical standards: optimized for search engines, absolutely clean from a technical point of view, interesting preexisting systems, convenient to update, and offering the greatest possible security for the investment.

cekom is currently subdivided into three divisions: Solutions (technology and systems), Internet Marketing (Web design, screen design), and classical Advertising Agency (advertisements, brochures, campaigns).

cekom cultivates a business culture that encourages exchange and sharing: regularly scheduled dialogue among the several divisions, frequent best-practice meetings, knowledge system in the firm’s own intranet, open planning processes.

• The benefits:
  The programmer understands what the designer wants him to accomplish.
  The designer learns what’s important for the programmer.
  And both the programmer and the designer talk with the interface specialist.

Ongoing communication among all three realms guarantees optimal solutions.

Even if a client commissions only one of cekom’s divisions, the client benefits from cekom’s communicative style of business culture.

Because the solution that cekom offers has been worked out by people who are also familiar with the other realms.
