Our methodology and our consulting strengths

The success of a city depends not only on good ideas, but also on a high quality of process understanding and management – and an intensive level of communication.

This credo applies to all players in place branding and urban development. And thus also for us – as strategic consultants to place marketing and urban development organizations as well as project and real estate developers.

We are convinced that the processes surrounding strategy implementation and structural development are already an essential part of the solution. This means that communication and interaction with politicians, the city administration, stakeholders and citizens must be designed and managed from the outset.

Our consulting approach

Transparency from process start to process end – and comprehensive process communication in the form of stakeholder management, public relations and structured committee work.

The Stadtmanufaktur team operates throughout Europe – and with different focal points. And thanks to our partnerships and international contacts, we have access to know-how and expertise for every challenge.

We have a wealth of experience in application – from decades in the operational business. This means that we immediately recognize the benefit and effect of an individual methodology in terms of the overall strategy and strategic goals.

Every city and every area is different. That’s why we use suitable methods to achieve the project goals in a sustainable way. These include workshops and world cafés, participation processes and network hubs, exclusive circles and stakeholder maps, think tanks, idea sprints and more.
