A meeting where it all began

When we founded sommer + spohr consulting for media GmbH on January 1, 2013, the media industry was already undergoing continuous change. At that time, we were planning our company foundation in the café of the Munich Literaturhaus and decided to offer our complementary expertise from the areas of TV planning and production as well as classic IT in a joint service portfolio.

Today we can look back on a very intensive and enjoyable time. A time in which we were able to carry out a large number of interesting and multifaceted projects. Accompanied by valuable employees and project partners who we got to know and appreciate.

We were there when file-based workflows largely replaced traditional physical media. Increasingly efficient compression algorithms enabled better audio and video quality. SD first became HD, then Full HD and finally UHD, right up to productions in 8k resolution.

Thanks to technological progress, software-defined networks are increasingly replacing the tried-and-tested “green cables” and enabling high-performance network infrastructures that also bridge the gap to SaaS and IaaS solutions in the cloud. Thanks to innovative ideas, AI-based services have been able to triumph in the automation of media workflows. At a time when workflows were changing fundamentally, we helped many companies to optimize planning and production processes using innovative technical solutions.

We are grateful that we have been able to support our customers with their challenges over the past 10 years and are also somewhat proud of our track record of over 140 successful customer projects. We have also grown with the challenges and have been able to expand and sharpen our experience and methodologies. We would like to thank both our customers and our network partners for their trusting and successful cooperation.

We look forward with confidence to the coming years and projects in which we want to continue our success story together with our customers and partners.
