Strichpunkt confirms its leading position in German design: Once again, Strichpunkt finds itself holding the leading positions in the ranking of design agencies published by the specialist magazines w&v and Horizont. In the creative ranking, Strichpunkt follows last year's first with second this year.

In the sales ranking, the Stuttgart-based company improved its position with an increase of approx. 75% (as opposed to 15% in the average of the top 50, and approx. 5% in the whole industry) for the business year 2007, thereby achieving a significant improvement in position: from 25th to 12th of the leading German corporate design agencies.

Strichpunkt managing director Jochen Rädeker: "No other German-speaking agency has remained as much of a fixture among the Top Five most creative design agencies as Strichpunkt. The claim for creative differentiation in leading the market is increasing - and we have been able to achieve a significant increase in turnover accordingly. The small leading group of quality providers is able to meet the market's discernible trend towards more quality in design as a matter of course, and increasing numbers of large companies are realising that long-term investments in the brand achieves more than short-term advertising measures."
