Pulse Advertising is one of the largest independent global influencer marketing and social media agencies in 2026, built for multi-country campaign execution.
Founded in 2014 by Chris Kastenholz and Lara Daniel in Hamburg, Pulse operates through 11 fully-owned offices across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia (Hamburg HQ, London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Milan, New York, Dubai, Delhi, Shanghai, Shenzhen) with 125+ full-time people.
We make advertising meaningful by giving people a sense of belonging through communities built on social media. We work with multi-national consumer brands at the headquarter, regional, and local market level. Our international setup, globalised team structure, and deep social media expertise make Pulse uniquely positioned to run cross-country and cross-cultural campaigns that most agencies cannot.
Fully independent and not owned by any holding group, Pulse combines centralized strategic direction with distributed local execution, powered by PI Metrics, our proprietary AI-powered platform that quantifies the monetary value of a brand's social media presence in a single unitary score, with direct API access to TikTok, Meta, and Google.
We are proud to serve some of the world's most valuable companies including Apple, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, BMW, MINI, BlackRock, American Express, Kering, Estée Lauder, MAC Cosmetics, Ray-Ban, Hugo Boss, Bulgari, L'Oréal, Yves Rocher, Ferrero, Alibaba, and Bundesliga.

Connections create value. It’s our mantra, ethos, and overarching strategy all rolled into one. At Project Bionic, we don’t just market brands – we connect them. We do it by tapping into our distinctly human powers of creativity, empathy and problem-solving, enhanced by top-notch tools, data and analytics.
By converting the strength of human connection into actionable, data-backed strategy, we transform your brand’s digital channels into community spaces that authentically resonate with who you want to reach. And then we continually test, tweak, and adapt these strategies as your community grows, your needs change, and opportunities unfold.
Innovative paid & organic content strategy, eye-catching video and photography, consistently engaging content, relationship-nurturing community management – it all plays a part in building your brand’s presence amongst the people you most want to reach. Our exceedingly talented team offers experts in every field, with customized service offerings to meet your brand’s unique needs and budget. Instead of one social media manager trying to do it all, you get an entire team of professionals on your side, working to see your vision through from start to finish.
Combining the full potential of human and artificial intelligence into one ever-evolving creative engine for YOUR brand – that’s the true meaning of Project Bionic.
