We are H1QN®, an advertising agency for clients with sophisticated products. Our mantra is integrated communication, focusing on the interplay between all communication tools in terms of content, design, and timing. To put it another way, we love to mix it up with powerful ideas, eye-catching execution, and compelling communication concepts. And we do all this in the beautiful surroundings of Aalen, Germany. Never heard of it? No worries. Big-time design doesn’t have to come from the big city.

Design

Design is about much more than making things look pretty. The message must be perfectly packaged for your target group to ensure maximum impact, with top-quality design an essential element. And since design has to be seen to be believed, you can explore a number of example projects on our website.

Promotion

Brands, products, companies, and institutions need an unmistakable profile in order to achieve market recognition. We give brands a personality underpinned by a unique visual presence. Coupled with the right strategy and integrated communication, this is your path to gaining a decisive competitive edge. That’s because good promotion does one thing above all – it sells.
