February 2021. The Herrnhut office of Collective Brain is being inaugurated. Located in the beautiful border triangle, Arno’s team creates websites, online shops, and digital products.

Collective Brain and the Hamburg-based digital agency Progressive Mind merge in February 2021. With the expansion of the team, the service portfolio also grows. From now on, the company will also develop websites and online shops, manage social media channels, and implement performance campaigns. Tom and Oliver now work full-time on cofenster.
Florian (CEO), Tim (COO), and Arno (CTO) manage the daily operations of Collective Brain.

Since 2020, the Collective Brain team has been working on cofenster. As a “software for automated video editing,” cofenster provides the simplest solution for modern corporate communication. Spun off in 2021, cofenster successfully completed its Series A funding round in 2022 and now has well over 40 employees, making it larger than its parent company. They are growing up so fast.

The team is getting bigger and bigger. More rooms are needed. In October 2020, our headquarters found its new home at Unicorn in Hamburg’s Sprinkenhof.

On June 18, 2018, the advertising agency Collective Brain was born. The two founders, Tom and Oliver, set new standards in the advertising industry with a novel crowdsourcing concept. First customers such as Hamburg Airport, Vertis Aviation, and British American Tobacco are thrilled with the newly created videos and advertising campaigns. Manchester City and many others follow shortly thereafter.
