We have consistently focused our range of services on the areas of food, organic, FMCG and sustainability – from the brand strategy model “value-oriented brand management” to packaging design as a separate unit. The Communications division combines print and digital, consumer and trade communications.
The basis of all success is the right strategy. Methodically, we consistently follow our working model of “value-oriented brand management”. The basis for this is working on brand values as the basis for developing genuine added value: relevant for customers and differentiating from the competition. Because only positioning that is supported by the brand core will bring sustainable success. Range of services Brand strategy
The content-related visual decoding of the brand strategy. Whether launch or relaunch, whether characterized more by product design or a communicative central idea, the brand presence should be aligned with the respective target groups in the long term and be able to be correctly decoded by them. Brand presences must be recognizable, self-similar, concise and playable in all channels. Range of services Brand presence
The most important communication surface of a brand. The packaging is the face of the brand. All contents of the brand strategy must be transmitted through the packaging in a fraction of a second and decoded by the target group. And that on an area just a few centimeters in size. This special discipline requires special qualities, which is why packaging design is a separate department with specialists. Range of packagingdesign services

The communicative guiding principle conveys values and anchors the positioning. The basis of every successful communication is a strong central idea that creates attention, conveys values and positioning, arouses emotions and can be realized on all channels in a way that is appropriate for the media and target group.

The key instrument and essential element of every campaign. Digital is not a separate service area, but an integral part of every campaign. The art lies not only in creating the individual instruments, but also in networking and orchestrating them to maximize their impact. Digital range of services
Communication and marketing exactly where the purchase decision is made. 70% of purchasing decisions are made directly at the shelf. Alongside packaging, trade marketing is a key factor in the success of a product. It’s about awareness and information transfer, retail concepts, logistics, handling and much more.

The behavior and values of a company are becoming increasingly relevant for purchasing decisions. Sustainability communication is multi-layered. Whether sustainability is one of the core values of a brand, is intended to be added value or will only play a role in the future, it must have different tonalities depending on the background of the brand and the company in order to be credible.

We follow the following guideline for the climate-conscious handling of our emissions: balance – reduce – compensate. Since 2011, Eberle has been trading CO2neutral, and climate-positive since 2021. This means we are going two steps further: firstly, we are offsetting 10% more emissions than we cause. Secondly, we reduce emissions in the long term through insetting projects. Our guideline in detail: Accounting We have an annual corporate GHG balance sheet drawn up in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard. This protocol is divided into so-called scopes to ensure the comparability of certain values. Scope 1, 2 and parts of Scope 3 are relevant for our company. Reduce We use insetting projects to reduce emissions in the long term along our own value chain and within our sphere of influence. Offset We offset our unavoidable emissions with projects that are certified with both the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the CCB standard (Gold Level).

In 1950, Karl Eberle, grandfather of the current managing directors, registered his business as a “commercial graphic artist” in order to offer graphics and advertising for the resurgent economy in post-war Germany alongside his artistic work for the American occupying forces. He acquired the property at Goethestrasse 115, where an old prefabricated house stood at the time, and brought his son Gerd Eberle into the company. He then quickly began to develop the 2-man graphic design office into a real company. In the 1970s, the agency already had more than 20 employees, its own photo studio and its own media department. In addition to regional customers, such as Bifora – Europe’s largest wristwatch factory at the time – branded companies from all over Germany, including Brandt Zwieback, Waldbauer, Libella, WMF, Steiff and many more, were soon among the clients. Over the years, many works have been created that form the roots of both our current agency and the still successful brands.
