The history of our agency

In 2003 the computer science graduate (University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg) Michael Pietz and Internet pioneer Michael Wild von Hohenborn, with their passion for the Internet and digital projects, decided to found a common existence. Today, PPW is firmly rooted in Cologne and Münster, and the two founders are proud of an intensive and successful time in which they have accompanied customers from a wide range of industries into the digital future.

Off into new fields - the second agency location is founded in Münster.

Situated at Kreativkai, this is the location where UX is lived. Whether it is the proximity to the Digital Hub of the Münsterland or the UX-Meetup UXMS, founded by our UX colleague Oliver Schirok.
