Executive Overview

OSK, originally Oliver Schrott Kommunikation, is a Cologne-founded communications agency established in 1993. Its 250-person team is especially associated with mobility and technology, supported by offices in Germany, New York and Beijing.

03

Market Position

The agency occupies a senior position in automotive and mobility communications, combining German industrial-market depth with international production and media capability. It has operated within Omnicom Public Relations Group since 2021.

04

Service Capability

OSK delivers corporate and product communications, brand strategy, editorial content, digital and social programs, events, film, audio and studio production. The model supports complex launches as well as sustained corporate reputation work.

05

Industry Expertise

Mobility, automotive technology, industrial innovation, sustainability and consumer lifestyle are the strongest documented fields. A relationship with Mercedes-Benz dating to 2001 illustrates the duration and scale possible in the agency’s core sector.

06

Geographic Reach

Cologne, Stuttgart and Berlin anchor German operations, while New York and Beijing support two major automotive and technology markets. The five-office structure is designed for global mobility assignments.

07

Digital Authority

The agency maintains a clear digital presence with visible practice pages, location detail and current thought leadership.

08

Reputation Overview

Human editorial review places the greatest weight on current awards, memberships and named assignments; these signals support a measured, evidence-led view of the agency.

09

Public Proof

GPRA states that OSK was among the first German agencies certified to Consultancy Management Standard III, following an independent audit across eight management categories.

10

Technology Signals

The firm publicly integrates data, social and digital delivery into communications planning. Specific technology choices are not fully disclosed, so the assessment is limited to documented capabilities.

11

Market Differentiators

OSK’s differentiator is the combination of mobility expertise, long-client continuity and in-house content production across media formats. It can handle both technically detailed product stories and large public brand moments.

12

Comparative Intelligence

Compared with automotive PR boutiques, OSK offers greater global and production scale. Compared with broad networks, it brings a more concentrated mobility identity while benefiting from Omnicom resources.
