Gemeinsam
besser machen
A campaign that is not advertising - but honest appreciation.
Since 2020, DATEV's Gemeinsam besser machen campaign has celebrated the courage of SMEs—the backbone of Germany’s economy. In 2022, we expanded the “Maker Stories” series with a new focus on Digitalization and Sustainability, highlighting real entrepreneurs and their journeys.
Authenticity was key: the campaign honored founders and business owners while positioning DATEV as the enabler of their success. Rolled out across leading print (Handelsblatt, FAZ, Stern, SPIEGEL), digital, social, and out-of-home platforms, it reached decision-makers where it mattered most.
