Our edge comes
from Experience
westword is a boutique marketing agency focused on two areas:
U.S. marketing operations and reaching Germany’s non-native German-speaking population.
Our edge comes from experience. As two Americans with more than 20 years in Germany, we bridge both markets. We maintain strong U.S. business networks, which we’ve leveraged to help billion-euro brands expand stateside with nationwide campaigns seen by tens of millions. In Germany, our perspective as part of the foreign-born community gives us insight into the 20+ million non-native German speakers. We’ve helped German businesses successfully connect with this fast-growing market.
