FOCUS Leading Innovator 2027 – mindmelt

Advertising Agency Frankfurt for B2B and Mid-Market

mindmelt is an owner-led advertising agency based in Frankfurt am Main, established in 2002. We build web design, corporate identity and marketing for B2B companies and the mid-market across the Rhine-Main region, especially for products that need explaining. Founded and run by Ingo Krumm. mindmelt was named Leading Innovator 2026 and 2027.

Advertising and marketing agency in Frankfurt

With us, you get an advertising agency and a marketing agency in one team. We work for companies with 5 to 200 employees: strategy, corporate design, website, SEO and campaigns, with one fixed point of contact. If you have no marketing department of your own, bring us in as your external marketing department.

Most of our clients sell to other businesses, and their products need explaining. They come from banking, insurance and auditing, from IT and information security, from industry, chemicals and pharma, from healthcare, and from transport and energy. We turn technology and jargon into arguments your sales team can work with.

For your sales team, we develop the tools that selling requires: product brochures, sales presentations, trade fair stands and websites connected to your ERP. That way you work with an agency that understands your products and makes closing easier for your sales team.

Why companies hire mindmelt

Companies from Commerzbank to Rhine-Main mid-sized businesses hire us for four reasons.

01

Making complex offers easy to sell

Our clients sell effect pigments, stock exchange IT or fire-resistant glass. We turn offers like these into arguments the buyer understands on first read and the management board needs for sign-off.

02 

Workshop first, then design

Every larger project starts with a workshop that owner Ingo Krumm leads with his team. In more than 140 workshops, companies have clarified their positioning this way before the first page was designed. We work for more than 400 clients, including 274 brands.

03 

Creative and technology in one team

Concept, design, copy, website and SEO come out of the same team. So a brand idea becomes a website that is found on Google and in AI answers, without handover losses. Source code and design files belong to you afterwards.

04 

Clients who stay

Since 2002 we have looked after 274 brands, many of them for more than ten years. We keep a presence consistent over the years, because recognition builds trust. FOCUS-Business named mindmelt Leading Innovator in 2026 and 2027.

B2B agency for products that need explaining

Our clients sell to other businesses: electrical engineering, pulp, recruitment or cloud hosting. People who buy this kind of thing compare for a long time and check with colleagues. So we build every presence so that the buyer understands what you deliver on first read, and management finds the arguments to sign off. Our B2B marketing page shows what that looks like in practice.

That includes owner-managed businesses and mid-market companies with no in-house marketing team - or a small one that needs backup. Decision-makers who want to talk directly to the person who delivers.

Our best work happens with clients who know what they want - but are open to someone who puts it better, builds it cleaner, and thinks a step ahead of the brief.

Current projects of mindmelt advertising agency Frankfurt

Since 2002 we have worked for companies in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region, from corporate divisions to doctors' practices. We do corporate design, websites and ongoing marketing support. View references

Recently completed projects:

OGAE Germany: website relaunch with a members' area, central dates and votes that run automatically through the website.

eTicket Deutschland (VDV eTicket Service): website in six languages with product areas for Motics, Deutschlandticket and etiCORE, explainer videos and portals for manufacturers and transport companies.

Habermehl & Follmann: new company presentation and PowerPoint master, following the website, campaign and wall calendar.

Filter manufacturer after a carve-out: new brand with a name from the workshop, its own wordmark, a website with a 3D viewer of the filter module and a 30-second film.

We speak your customers' language

Anyone choosing a bank, a law firm or a doctor's practice decides slowly and asks questions. So does the buyer ordering specialty glass and the transport association planning new passenger information. In that world there is less hype and more balance sheets. Fewer TikTok strategies, more LinkedIn. What counts are clear arguments a managing director grasps in 30 seconds and can pass on to the board.

That is our field. Our clients come from five areas: banks, insurers and auditing; IT and information security; industry, chemicals and pharma; healthcare; transport and energy. What they share is an offer that needs explanation and trust. That is why we build brands that look and sound the same for years, because customers are more likely to believe a familiar presence.

In case you are looking for one
You do not need
an advertising agency.
You need the right one.
Team mindmelt

Your contact: Ingo Krumm and his team

mindmelt is an owner-managed advertising agency in Frankfurt am Main, Zeil 46. Ingo Krumm runs it with his team.

We have supported mid-sized companies from Frankfurt and Rhine-Main with brand, website and marketing since 2002. In that time we have learned our craft anew three times, each time a new tool took over from the old one. That is why we know how to guide a company through such a change. What has stayed the same is our standard for brand work: clear statements that fit together over the years.

At mindmelt you speak directly with Ingo Krumm and his team. We accompany every strategy project from the first idea, know every client repository and write every pitch ourselves. That is demanding, frankly, but it is the only way we run an agency we would hire ourselves.

Frequently asked questions about working with an agency

Costs, process, ownership, sector knowledge - the questions managing directors and marketing leads ask most often before choosing an agency.

An advertising agency designs what your customers see: logo, corporate design, website, brochures and campaigns. A marketing agency plans and manages how these tools are used across the year, for example with SEO, LinkedIn and newsletters, and evaluates what brings enquiries. In practice the two overlap heavily.

At mindmelt you get both from one team: we design the presence, build the website and, if you wish, take over ongoing support as your external marketing department. For companies without a marketing department of their own, there is no coordination between two service providers.

B2B is our focus: most of our references come from industry, technical trade, finance, law and consulting. We also work for doctors' practices and opticians, for transport companies and energy suppliers, for hotels, restaurants and consumer brands such as Dunlopillo. What these clients share is an offer that needs explaining and customers who only decide once they have gained trust. We align presence and website to that.

A B2B advertising agency writes for two readers at once: the specialist who checks whether the product fits technically, and the management who releases the budget. B2B decisions often take months and involve several people. So the presence needs documents a buyer can forward internally: data sheets, sales presentations and product pages with clear arguments. For SCHOTT, for example, we developed brochures for each product line, because safety glass and glass-ceramic have very different buyers. How we proceed is shown on our B2B marketing page.

Our clients come from five areas: banks, insurers and auditing; IT and information security; industry, chemicals and pharma; healthcare; transport and energy. A selection is on our references page.

A compact website from €3,900 net, a business website with basic SEO setup and blog from €5,900, a corporate website with several target groups and Schema.org from €8,900. SEO support from €480 per month. We invoice per project. You can find concrete prices under What does an advertising agency cost.

The price depends on which tasks we take on for you. SEO support starts at €480 per month, looking after one social media channel with four posts costs €490, two channels €790. If newsletters, campaigns or sales materials are added, we calculate the package with you. A permanently employed marketing specialist costs a multiple of that and rarely covers design, technology and SEO alone. All prices are net; the overview is on our price list.

An agency pays off as soon as several disciplines come together: strategy, design, development and SEO. An in-house team with these roles means several positions you have to fill and keep busy. At mindmelt you get all roles from one team with one fixed contact and pay only for the work that actually arises. It pays off fastest for relaunches, new brand development and ongoing support that would not justify a full-time position.

At mindmelt, owner Ingo Krumm and his team see every project through from briefing to go-live. That is what sets owner-led agencies apart from network agencies, where the person who wins the pitch is not the person who does the work. Shorter routes, no account manager mark-ups, no handover between sales and delivery. Many of our clients have worked with us for many years, because continuity beats the cost of starting over.

Check references: real projects say more than awards. Have an initial conversation to clarify approach and scope. Look for sector understanding: an agency that has already worked for similar clients knows how they make decisions. Read the contract terms, especially clauses on ownership. Start with a small test project before commissioning the big relaunch. When choosing the best advertising agency in Frankfurt, reference projects, ownership rights and, not least, your own feeling about the end product are the most important criteria.

Depends on the project. Smaller work - landing pages, flyers, copy revisions - can often start within one to two weeks. Larger projects such as relaunches or brand strategy need lead time for workshops and the concept phase: typically four to eight weeks. If we’re currently at capacity, we’ll say so directly. For a quick read on availability: 069 21936250 - a short call is faster than any questionnaire.

Ingo Krumm and his team lead strategy and concept. Design, development and project management are handled by the same team in our office at Zeil 46 in Frankfurt. For photography, film or translations we bring in partners we have worked with for years. You have one fixed contact who knows your project from the first conversation to ongoing support.

Four questions help: (1) Has the agency worked for clients whose offer needs as much explanation as yours? (2) Is your contact someone who also delivers, or only sales? (3) Who owns the source code, domain and design files after the project ends? This ownership question is a good indicator of the right agency: anything not answered clearly creates dependency later. (4) Can you speak to former clients? mindmelt arranges reference conversations on request.
