Who we are and what we stand for

A strong team of Search & Content Marketing experts

Claneo is an award-winning online marketing agency for international SEO and Content Marketing based in Berlin.

Our way of thinking and working is shaped by the three founders: Magdalena Mues, Matthäus Michalik, and Martin Grahl. Before they founded the agency in 2017, they had already been involved in building up one of the leading search agencies in Europe at the time. With this experience and their very personal way of running their own agency, they succeeded in growing a start-up with eight people into a medium-sized company after just a few years. Today, the Claneo team consists of more than 80 experts who are among the best in their fields.

Our five core values
have accompanied us since our founding

We founded Claneo to work with the people and brands we love. In doing so, we place a great deal of value on working together. This is strengthened by our core values of innovation, satisfaction, partnership, transparency and quality, which we live by every day.

Innovation

In the constantly evolving online marketing world, we are always open to breaking new ground. Our flexible way of working creates room for innovative and creative marketing concepts. In doing so, we rely on our know-how and benefit from our many best-practice solutions.

Transparency

We value openness and honesty as well as foster trust both with our clients and within the agency. Clearly defined goals and mutual feedback make for clear communication. In this way, we promote trust among ourselves and among our customers in our services.

Quality

At Claneo, quality means providing holistic, effective, and value-adding services. This requires continuous professional development which benefits our clients. We also share our knowledge through publications and at conferences.

Satisfaction

At Claneo, satisfaction is the foundation for successful cooperation. The well-being of our employees and customers is of equal importance. It is necessary to grant each other freedom and flexibility in order to achieve success.

Partnership

Both mutual support and helpfulness enable a successful long-term relationship. We attach great importance to this not only among our employees, but also in our cooperation with our customers.

Clients who grow with us

We advise and support well-known corporations, SMEs and start-ups. These businesses represent diverse industries ranging from FMCG and e-commerce to travel, finance, insurance, health & pharma and more.

This makes us special

Outstanding digital marketing services

Our range of services is as diverse as our customers and their challenges. We support companies in their first steps in digital marketing, the enhancement of existing strategies, the further development of their teams, and also help them to get the last percentage points out of themselves to achieve maximum performance. Whether creating a multi-domain strategy for a global, multilingual website or optimizing national e-commerce websites, we always aim to provide our customers with the best online marketing services. Our Claneo team can handle more than 10 languages in-house and have the expertise of the respective markets. That is why we are one of the few German agencies that can also provide excellent support to their clients internationally. We advise our partners on a strategic level, provide operational support and impart our know-how in training courses.

Working time is a part of life

“We want to be one of the best employers in the digital marketing sector.” Since the company was founded in 2017, we have been working towards this goal every day, striving not only for a good working atmosphere, but also promoting social commitment and environmental protection. We have been a CO2-neutral company since 2019.

The fact that the well-being of our colleagues is our top priority is also confirmed by the “Great Place to Work,” “Kununu Top Company,” and “Kununu Open Company” seals of approval, which are awarded as part of anonymous employee assessments. Additionally, equal rights for all and the compatibility of career and family are very important to us.

Recognition, appreciation, and the inclusion in the workplace play a major role for us. For this reason, we have signed the “Diversity Charter” and are a member of the “Erfolgsfaktor Familie” (“Success factor family”) network. As part of the network, we address the issue of family-friendly corporate culture and we regularly examine our performance in this regard.
