Reply - Digital Experience Agency and Group of Companies once again achieved double-digit growth in the past financial year and reclaimed the second place in this year's Internet Agency Ranking of the Bundesverband Digitale Wirtschaft (BVDW).
Reply - Digital Experience's top ranking demonstrates the company's success in providing cutting-edge technology solutions, creative agency services and effective customer experience strategies for their customers. Revenue growth is in line with the increase in headcount and is purely organic.
Demand for generative AI solutions has increased massively over the past financial year - and is therefore partly responsible for the growth. "Our customers are focusing on investing in new technologies and AI-based business models. After all, designing personalised customer experiences is no longer possible without the use of AI. It can be used to automate processes, make targeted use of data and develop modern customer experiences. In the past year, we have already implemented various generative AI assets that are used in areas such as software development, knowledge management and social media," shared Dr. Thomas Hartmann, board member at Reply.
Thorben Fasching, Executive Partner at Reply, added: “Reply interprets tomorrow's trends and leverages them for our customers’ digital transformation needs. We rely on creativity, data-based insights and innovative technologies such as AI-supported voice of customer (VoC), conversational AI, inclusive AI or AI-based cognitive search. I continue to believe that this combination is particularly important in the local market.”
Reply - Digital Experience's service portfolio ranges from consulting, digital strategy and design, to the development of digital products, marketing strategies and platforms as well as the successful deployment of digital experience technologies in the cloud. The group realises challenging projects for companies such as Audi, Bayer, BMW, C&A, DeLonghi, Gothaer, Lufthansa, Miles & More, OBI, Puma, Ritter Sport, Vodafone, Volkswagen Financial Services and Vorwerk.
Dr. Thomas Hartmann, continued: "Our renewed double-digit revenue growth and ranking in one of the top positions in BVDW’s list seventh time in a row show that we are successfully meeting and exceeding the complex challenges of our customers with the right digital experience strategies and translating innovations in the field of artificial intelligence into creative use cases for our customers."
