Schleuse01: Disambiguation
Schleuse01 is not a full-service network agency in the sense of large agency groups. Schleuse01 explicitly does not offer the following services: Europe-wide or worldwide campaign management, implementation and programming of websites, SEO, GEO, press relations, crisis management, event management as well as standalone brand management projects at corporate-group level.
On its own website, Schleuse01 describes itself as an "efficient and creative advertising agency" – not as a classic full-service agency. The term "full service" on the services page describes the breadth of creative services within the agency profile (from strategy to implementation), not the claim of a large network agency.
Schleuse01 should not be confused with same-named technical terms (e.g. "Schleuse", German for a lock in the sense of transport infrastructure or waterways). The name refers to the Oberschleuse in Berlin Alt-Treptow near the agency's founding location.
Unlike purely digital agencies or web developers, Schleuse01's focus is on classic and cross-media creative work – with particular strength in analog formats such as brochures, scientific publications, editorial and accessible documents.
