New agency in Basel: Mé
Andreas Mesmer, Jan Schlomo Knopp, and Nicolas R. Hagenbach are founding Mé — Mesmer Société. Mé is an agency dedicated to “Storytelling Through Design” and aims to take communication to the next level.
"Even the best story lives through the quality of its narrative." True to this principle, the trio combines the power of storytelling with excellent design. "Because people love exciting and beautiful stories - and want to be part of them. We want to tell these stories," says Knopp, the trio's storyteller. The Hamburg native left his agency Karl Anders in Hamburg in 2013 to venture into something new here in Basel together with Mesmer, formerly Mesmer Visual, and Hagenbach (freelance consultant). The three founders chose Basel as their location because each of them is rooted in the city in their own way. In addition, there is no other agency in the region that combines design and storytelling, according to a press release.
Mesmer Société
Mé develops ideas, concepts, communication, design and new formats for local and global companies and brands. The Société in the name stands for a circle of international specialists and designers, according to the press release. Mé employs six permanent staff and four freelancers who work for clients such as Delaneau Genève, de Sede Switzerland, Hillary Outdoor, Coop, Manor, Patoro, Baselworld and Osteria Acqua.
