Germany’s largest e-commerce agency for fashion and lifestyle sets the course for future growth as it becomes a part of Dept, the international network of leading digital agencies.
By joining as a key partner, superReal clients get easy access to extensive expertise in the fields of online marketing, data and technology. The now 105-person agency strengthens both Dept’s position on the German market as well as its international e-commerce capabilities.
Volker Will, founder and managing director of superReal: “By combining our knowledge and expertise, we can support today’s e-commerce leaders to a greater extent in their online businesses; from brand to platform, smart data and online marketing. In addition, joining Dept sets our course for further international growth whilst keeping the superReal culture alive. Exciting times ahead!” superReal will work together with Dept’s agencies at an operational level while preserving their existing management and DNA.

With a 45% increase in sales and projects for Nivea, OTTO, TOM TAILOR, Birkenstock and Weber under its belt, 2017 turned out to be another record-breaking year.
