Crafting great stories based on the right insights, that is key in todays’ media-landscape - an environment that is in constant flux. A great idea needs to be personal, social, live and engaging.

 / Marketing
Mass marketing is increasingly turning into multiple niches. Therefor marketing is about delivering useful content at the precise moment and place a customer needs it. What makes Keplar's approach unique is the way we integrate marketing into the product roadmap of a campaign or digital media product.
