Inspire rather than satisfy

Isn't that what you want - and together we can do it. Here you can find out what you can expect from working with us and how we put our promises into practice.

  1. Get to know the people and brand

    Together we will find out how our retail and trade marketing expertise can help you and your brand. We will introduce you to our brand ambassador system and share our experience from the past years.

  2. Developing a complete strategy

    Convincing your target group in the decisionmaking process is the primary goal of our work. HEY PAL also stands for information exchange and the organizational framework. In partnership we ensure that your marketing and sales reach their goals.

  3. Recruiting and operational planning

    Each brand ambassador on our 100+ person team receives very personal attention: to the brand, to the products, and to the business goals. They know that brand work doesn't stop at the checkout and are your extra eyes, ears and hands on every job.

  4. Monitoring and presentation of results

    You can see how the assignments are going at any time, call up reports on them and have an overview of all relevant KPIs. Our project management tool was specially developed for this purpose and provides all the information that marketing, sales and product management needs for their reporting.

  5. Recommendation for action and optimization

    Just like you, we want to use the insights gained from customer dialogs and sales conversations: to improve, grow with tasks and try something new. That's how we ultimately manage as a team. Inspiring customers instead of simply satisfying them.

Experiences that have helped brands

Take a look behind the scenes to learn about audience-relevant insights that have helped our partners build their Love Brand status. The following case studies illustrate the results you can expect from working with us.

Maach et joot, ävver nit zo off

‘Do it well but not so often’ - That is one of the most important rules of our cathedral city. And because we're true Cologne natives, we don't aim to be everything to everyone. This mindset makes us incredibly responsive and effective with clients and brands we have a passion for - and that's what characterizes HEY PAL.
