The dreifive Group is setting the course for its next phase of growth: Carina Hummel, a long-time executive at the digital agency, is taking on the role of managing director and will be responsible for the operational management of the Vienna office going forward. The current managing partners, Marcel Oppliger and Sascha Frommhund, will hand over operational responsibility by the end of the year.

Hummel brings a deep understanding of the Austrian market—she has helped shape the company in various roles and is familiar with both the customers and the internal corporate culture. For the new CEO, it’s clear what will matter most in the Austrian market going forward: «The Austrian market has changed significantly in recent years: a combination of strategy, creativity, data, and technology—consistently focused on impact—will become even more important for brands in the future. Consumer behavior and marketing are evolving faster than ever before. This makes it all the more important to keep pace with this speed and position ourselves as a future-proof hub. This is exactly why we want to continue expanding dreifive in Austria—close to the market, close to our clients, with a team built around these strengths.»

As a long-time employee, she has helped shape our company in various roles and has a deep understanding of our market, our customers, and our values.»
