About us

AHM was established more than 30 years ago, and is thus older than Google. Thorough research is part of our DNA. In our hyperconnected age, we keep our eye on the ball – and are dead serious about the skills of our craft.

There’s this person we know. As experienced media professionals, we are familiar with the industry and have excellent contacts with decision-makers in the travel, hotel, wellness, health, gourmet, lifestyle, economy and sports sectors in the German-speaking world.

We love what we do. Journalists and clients appreciate our enthusiasm and success. We have been working with most of our clients for many years. In the SRT Tourism handbook, we regularly feature in the top ten of German-speaking agencies, and were once more ranked first in 2023 – the fourth time in a row.

We think out of the box. The AHM team is a wild but coherent mix of experienced strategists, impulsive creative minds and dauntless digital natives.
