history

1997 Markus Biermann founded Crossmedia in Düsseldorf. As one of the first agencies on the market, Crossmedia implements digital advertising and lays the foundation for cross-media marketing and integrated communication. In 2001, the agency decoupled bulk purchasing from planning and consulting, thereby laying the basis for the future agency feature of media neutrality and transparency. Since 2007, Crossmedia has had its neutral media advice certified by an external auditing company in an independent transparency report.

Crossmedia is also expanding its activities internationally in the sense of a media-neutral stance and founded the London office in 2017. For this consistent further development, Crossmedia was named "Agency of the Year" at the German Media Prize 2018.
