About


We know you are busy, so we’ll get straight to the point:

Wortspiel is a Swiss boutique agency for digital marketing. We help SMEs and corporates to increase their revenue with Google Ads, Meta Ads & Co. Since 2015.

That’s more or less it. But if you’re still curious, keep scrolling.


Services

We help to sustainably improve your marketing and to win more customers at a lower cost – through digital advertising, conversion optimization and strategy.

For complementary services, we rely on strong partners.

Digital Advertising

We increase leads, sales and brand awareness for you via Google & YouTube, Facebook & Instagram, LinkedIn & Bing and Twitter. We are happy to over the complete management. Or we support you in improving your in-house know-how with audits, workshops, coaching and mentoring. Our portfolio also includes analytics and SEO as the base for successful digital advertising.

Conversion Optimization (CRO)

The more website visitors we convert into paying customers, the higher the return of Google Ads - and of all other advertising measures. We analyze your website, develop improvement hypotheses and test them for statistical relevance with Google Optimize.

Strategy Consulting

As an agency we have insight into many companies. There we see which strategies work for which business models – and which do not. You are welcome to benefit from these insights. Together we analyze and optimize your company (vision, mission, values, goals), your offering (products, value proposition) and your marketing ( objectives, metrics, channels).

Case Studies

The Jungfraujoch is the highest railroad station in Europe and one of the top tourist attractions on the continent. The Jungfrau.ch homepage is one of the most visited websites of Switzerland.

After Wortspiel was supporting Jungfrau Railways in the area of Google Ads for many years, we extended the cooperation to the conversion optimization of the website Jungfrau.ch.

The result: +14% more online bookings for the Jungfraujoch with the same number of website visitors. More about this in the video (Swiss German, English and German subtitles available):

Our values

We don’t aim to become the largest agency, but rather the best. That’s why we rely on clear values:

Wortspiel Values

Friendliness

Cooperation can only work well if we’re aligned on a personal level. We value honesty, humility and authenticity.

Freedom

Trust is more important to us than contracts. As long as both parties are happy and continue to evolve together, we will keep working together. If this changes we will part ways.

Focus

The marketing landscape is changing so fast that long-term top performance is only possible with a high degree of specialisation. We prefer to do less and do it as well as possible.
