Company history

edit

The agency was founded in 2015 by Martin Eggert and David Stephan. Their first client was the cheese manufacturer Leerdammer.[1] In 2016, the company moved into an office close to the Viktualienmarkt in Munich.[2]

In 2018, David+Martin worked on the regional election campaign for the German Green Party Alliance 90/The Greens. In response to the campaign, the agency first received propaganda flyers from a German right wing party; later a pig's head was placed outside the agency's office, which led to a police investigation.[3][4]

In May 2021, Mark Hassan joined the agency's management.[5] Later that year, Katrin Strathus became head of Human Resources.[6]

Martin Eggert is a board member of Gesamtverband Kommunikationsagenturen GWA (Association of communication agencies) and was co-founder of their U30 advisory board in 2021.[7]

Company structure

edit

In 2021, the company had more than 40 employees and a revenue of €4 million.[1][8] The management of the company consists of David Stephan and Martin Eggert.

Social engagement

edit

In 2015, David+Martin created the gin brand "Refugin", with profits from the beverage going to the Munich Schlau-Schule ("smart-school") which offers classes for refugees to help them graduate school.[9] They also created a sustainability report for the nonprofit organisation Social Bee, which illustrates the refugee route from Lesbos to Germany.[2] In 2020, they worked on an awareness campaign for the German non-governmental organisation Sea-Watch.[10]
