DATA MEETS LEADERSHIP

  • Digitale Souveränität
  • Datengetriebene Führung
  • Zero Friction
  • Marke & Positionierung
Digitale Souveränität beginnt mit Transparenz.

25+ Jahre Führung in Medien und Produktion. Heute verbindet Thomas Unternehmensstrategie mit Datenkompetenz — auf Augenhöhe mit Geschäftsführern, die Ergebnisse sehen wollen, nicht Slides.

The founding story.
From the Barbarossa Cup to a data mission.

  1. DJK Erlenbach

    Thomas and Andreas meet, not at a conference but at the table tennis table. Twenty-five years of media production meet twenty years of financial mathematics. Two entirely different worlds, one shared ambition.

  2. Barbarossa Cup

    They organize a tournament together. Entrants, schedules, results, evaluations. Suddenly they are deep in data. Working on structures side by side turns into a passion.

  3. 2020

    SIMO is founded as a marketing agency. Within a year the realization lands: marketing without a data foundation is a house without footings. The data comes first. Not the tools, not the software.

  4. 2021

    The change of course. “Simple marketing” becomes data management. Not a step back but clarity: before a company can do anything meaningful with its data, it has to understand, order and master it.

  5. Today

    What began as a conversation between two club mates is SIMO today: MAKE DATA EASY. The mission: to enable the European Mittelstand, Germany's mid-market and its European peers, to lead with data. Business Data Strategy is a boardroom matter, not an IT topic.

Your data stays your data.
