How we work
- We work flexibly, quickly and with a holistic approach.
- We are tired of endless agency/client feedback loops and therefore get to the point quickly.
- We work in close cooperation with our clients. At eye level. As partners, we do not see ourselves as service providers.
- The more you involve us, the more you benefit from us.
- We say when we find something wrong.
- and yes, wir sprechen auch Deutsch.

Testimonials
Alexander Florman /Marketing /The new aero
Branding is one of the most valuable corporate assets to us.
“We turned to less rain to develop our newly launched global brand for the new aero from scratch, involving them right from the start in the naming and designing process.
They are still small enough to provide exceptional customer service along with marketing expertise to TNA that would compare to the services provided to Fortune 500 companies.”
Hansjörg Gruber / Head of Global New Media & Marketing Red Bull
…an endless amount of innovative ideas, care, and creativity…
“I couldn’t be happier with choosing less rain as our digital agency. Right from my first meeting with Lars in 2002 in London to the final step of the executions of more than 50+ projects we did together, the less rain team was truly amazing! They showed such an endless amount of innovative ideas, care, professionalism and creativity for everything related to our brand.
I have now been working with Lars and Carsten for over 20 years. They brought a powerful blend of creative and technical thinking to our relationships and delivered results that often exceeded my expectations. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! Thank you!!”

We wish we had a lush 50’s loft space overlooking the city. But then there is not such a space overlooking anything in Berlin. So we went for the opposite, an old hidden and crumbling church which hasn’t been painted since WW2.
At least we didn’t have to move into the crypt because the old ballroom was available.
Visit us in the old ballroom of Sophienkirche in Mitte. We are always open for you to drop by for a coffee, cocktail or a prayer for a brighter tomorrow.
Enjoy
