Digital advertising agency expanding into TV with programmatic and creative services
Adlicious operates as a full-stack advertising agency built around three pillars: programmatic media buying (DSP, DMP, real-time bidding), in-house creative production (design, video, motion), and strategy consulting. The hiring mix—heavy on marketing and sales roles, with a media director and sales director in leadership—reflects active expansion into TV advertising and geographic growth across Benelux, UK, and Nordics. Projects and pain points show they're scaling creative production and integrating AI tooling (Midjourney, DALL-E, Runway) to handle increased campaign complexity.
Notable leadership hires: Media Director, Sales Director
Adlicious is a Hamburg-based advertising agency founded in 2013, now operating with over 90 employees across media, creative, and technology teams. They serve brands and agencies with end-to-end campaign services: media planning and programmatic buying to reach audiences, proprietary ad technology for optimization, and professional creative production ranging from display banners to video content. The platform covers the full marketing funnel from awareness through conversion. Current operational focus spans digital-first campaigns plus a strategic pivot toward television advertising integration, with expansion into new geographic markets.
Adlicious uses Google Marketing Platform, Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, and AWS for core operations. Creative production relies on Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects), Figma, and emerging AI tools: Midjourney, DALL-E, and Runway. Reporting uses Looker Studio.
Adlicious is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. The company is expanding hiring into South Africa and geographic agency presence into Benelux, UK, and Nordic regions.
