Brand design and packaging agency for FMCG brands across 90+ countries
ROMAN KLIS is a Berlin-Hamburg-Herrenberg-based brand design agency founded in 1995, operating as a partnership with ~120 staff across 21 nationalities. The tech stack is pure creative—Adobe suite, Midjourney, ChatGPT—with no backend infrastructure or data tooling, which fits an agency model. Hiring has decelerated and remains Germany-only, concentrated in design (5 open) with director-level additions, suggesting selective growth rather than scaling; internal friction around department profitability hints at margin pressure typical of service-driven shops.
Notable leadership hires: Design Director, Brand Director
