A speed boat instead of an ocean liner

„I am really happy over this incredible placement among the „Fast 50“ of Germany“, explains Christoph Preuß, the CEO of wwwe. „ Eleven years after the set up of our company we are neither a supertanker nor a ocean liner – we are and we stay a speed boat. The year period 2007 to 2011 was underlined by having a successful strategy to establish our complete solution of specially designed internet services for small and mid-sized companies. „The fact that small businesses such as hair salons, dance schools, lawyers and caterers have been shifting their marketing into the internet makes wwwe’s Full-Service-Package – which includes the website, the Google Adwords Campagne and the corporate video – to an ideal solution for these and mid-sized businesses.
„From about three million small and midsized companies in Germany only a few are presented adequately represented on the web. This gives us a huge potential to grow even faster in the future.“, says Preuß.

Success comes with Risk-Taking and Entrepreneurs’Spirit

According to Deloitte the excellent placement of wwwe among the „Fast 50“ was proven by their ability to take risks and follow their visions with the enterpreneurs‘ spirit of both wwwe-CEO’s Christoph Preuß and Daniel Fratzscher. Companies of wwwe‘s standard would manage to present continuous growth rates even in times of recession. Compared to larger organizations the organic growth and structural development of the sales sector come to the fore. In addition, a particular challenge is often to hold the balance between the growth and the expansion as well as adjustments to the organizational structure. But wwwe and the other „Fast 50“ managed to do a great job in this.
