PIO/ Culture

People of PIO.
Make it matter.

What we believe in

Self-realisation is important to us, but ego and team must be in balance. That’s why we try to create structures that enable self-organised work with clear responsibilities without losing the connection to each other. Each of us works in his or her own way, but we all contribute to the big picture. We want to create an agency environment that is good for everyone. 

We are the ones who question, get to the bottom of things and stand up for what matters. We are not afraid to say or do things for the first time. We are courageous communicators who can and want to help shape a fair, social and open society. With our art, we give people and their visions a voice, get ideas moving, solve complex challenges and always look for the even better way. Because there is one. 

We go our own way and create the greatest possible independence for PIO. We set our own standards for agency work and use agile and classic methods in the way that makes the most sense for ourselves. We have developed our own remuneration model that is easy to understand, fair, competitive and transparent for all of us. 

We take responsibility for our actions and start with ourselves when we want to change things. We take time for feedback and regularly reflect on results and ways of working, together with our clients. Our mentoring programme and our PIO Academy give us the space for professional and personal development. The people who support us in this are not assigned – we choose them ourselves.

PIO Characters

Get to know our PIOs.

Franzi

P for Personality > Who are you?

I am the mother of a son. Besides that, I am enchanted by foreign cultures and countries by the sea. My highlight: the Indonesian island of Nusa Lembongan.

I for inspiration > Where can we find you in your free time?

You can usually find me doing yoga or Zumba or on the sofa with a book.

O for Office > What does your ideal office at PIO look like?

I prefer to be in my home office with thick socks under my desk. But I also like to come into the office for a chat with my colleagues.

Meet Franzi

Ute

P for Personality > Who are you?

I am a fundamentally curious person. I love to talk to people and find out what makes them tick. No wonder I started my professional life as a journalist.

I for inspiration > Where can we find you in your free time?

I'm inspired by art and culture. In winter, I like to visit Berlin's museums, for example the Kulturforum or the Humboldt Forum. In the summer, I like to go out - to the well-kept gardens and castles in Potsdam and the surrounding area. Always with me: my smartphone with a small camera or the "real" big camera.

O for Office > What does your ideal office at PIO look like?

I like the versatility of my work. Nothing is ever exactly the same. Every client and every issue is different. That keeps my mind active.

Meet Ute

Michael

P for Personality > Who are you?

Personally, I am the rather quiet but at the same time sociable type.

I for inspiration > Where can we find you in your free time?

My inspiration is variety. This is especially evident in my diverse hobbies.

O for Office > What does your ideal office at PIO look like?

A balance between home office and office is particularly important for me.

Meet Michael

Adriana

P for Personality > Who are you?

I love good food, coffee, books, dogs, travelling and of course my loved ones.

I for inspiration > Where can we find you in your free time?

For new books, I like to get inspiration from Booktoks. Otherwise, I like to exchange ideas with friends and family, which is how great new insights always come about.

O for Office > What does your ideal office at PIO look like?

The mixture of office and home office represents the perfect working week for me.

Meet Adriana

Flo

P for Personality > Who are you?

You'll mostly meet me at concerts or in the cinema - but when the weather's right, you can also find me in Leipzig's beautiful parks.

I for inspiration > Where can we find you in your free time?

Just go through the world with your eyes open. Otherwise, sport and nature help with inspiration.

O for Office > What does your ideal office at PIO look like?

Since I like to be around people, I am often in the office. But every now and then I work from home.

Meet Flo

Janne

P for Personality > Who are you?

My heart is in Italy and my head is on the North Sea. And always on the lookout for new insights into humanity, its dreams, its hatred, its visions and its love.

I for inspiration > Where can we find you in your free time?

You can find me somewhere in the beautiful west of Leipzig: playing with my children, jogging along the canal, strolling or drinking wine on the Heine.

O for Office > What does your ideal office at PIO look like?

I really like agency life and the PIOs. That's why I love sitting in our office, analysing people and spinning out new ideas and strategies over Leipzig's most excellent coffee.
