No 'About us' fluff. We say what AOT can do, who's on the team and what we believe in — short, direct, no agency clichés.
We help Swiss SMEs, startups and NGOs tap the potential of the digital era in concrete ways — for sustainable growth and digital excellence. With a hand-picked specialist network, honest collaboration and tailored consulting, we shape a digital reality that holds up in business — not just one that shines on PowerPoint.
CEO & Founder | Digital Strategy & Innovation
Founder of AHEAD OF TIME and your central point of contact for strategic planning, execution steering, and ongoing optimization. Over two decades of practice behind it — from digital marketing through product innovation to international business development.
Multi-Channel Marketing & Internationalization
Multi-channel marketing with performance focus: planning, steering, and reporting of SEA, SEO, and Paid Social. When your SME wants to scale internationally, market potential analyses and internationalization strategies are her territory.
Senior Consultant | HR · Finance · Trust
Senior Consultant for HR, finance, and trust topics. She keeps the numbers clean at AOT — and supports our clients in exactly the same areas. Pragmatic, competent, no detours.
We help Swiss SMEs use the digital opportunities in their industry strategically — and put them into operation. Both from one hand. Goal: quick results that are noticeable in the business, plus long-term competitive advantages that don't evaporate after one quarter.
What we bring: over two decades of practice in digital business, deep professional and strategic expertise, and a strong network of specialists. Depending on the task, we take the role you need — strategic advisor, operational guide, coach for your team, or sparring partner for the tricky questions.
Instead of a fixed in-house crew, we assemble the expert team for each project that fits exactly your requirements — and run it as your central point of contact. You get flexibility and scalability without being locked into a single vendor. The model grows with your needs — and also gets smaller again when a project comes to an end.
Plain talk over PowerPoint
Honest communication means: when a plan doesn't hold up in practice, we say so — before you spend money on it. You get the assessment you need, not the speech you want to hear.
Practice over theory
Pragmatic effectiveness means: what we recommend has to work in everyday SME reality — not just in a strategy whitepaper. We prefer a pragmatic step that delivers tomorrow over an elegant solution you'll never implement.
Relationship over deal
Sustainable partnerships mean: we build collaboration over years — not over the next quarter. Instead of pushing for the quick contract, we invest in trust that holds even when a project pauses.
You know where you stand at any time — honest, proactive communication without detours.
No unnecessary overhead. Direct value-add and a fair price-performance ratio you can defend internally.
Hand-picked specialists for every discipline — no all-rounder mix that can do everything a little bit.
Honest performance reporting including learning from mistakes — no success theatre.
Teams and solutions that grow with your requirements — no fixed minimum-term contracts.
Experience in mandates from Swiss SMEs to internationally scaling brands (CH, DACH, EU, UK, USA, global). Headquartered in Switzerland — mandates in your language.
Understanding of demanding B2B markets and compliance topics — where marketing needs substance, not just reach.
When a discipline requires deep specialist knowledge, we extend the project team from a network of strategic partners. Here are the central areas and who we work with:
SEO, SEA, paid social, analytics
