Germany’s best consultancy for marketing

Since 2014, we have been recognized year after year as one of the best management consultancies in various categories. Now, in 2025, we have received a special honor: for the first time, we have been named the best marketing consultancy in Germany and took 1st place in the Marketing, Brand & Pricing category! In addition, we were once again recognized in the areas of Sales, After Sales & CRM and Change Management – a great confirmation of our expertise and the successful collaboration with our customers.

The ranking is based on the recommendations of over 3,000 industry experts and executives who evaluate management consultancies in 19 specialist areas. Since you cannot apply for this honor, we are all the more pleased to receive this recognition!

Hidden Champion

Batten & Company has been recognized by the scientific society for management and consulting (WGMB) as the leading German consultancy in the field of marketing and sales – with the 1st place! This means that we have come out on top against well-known consultancies such as Simon-Kucher & Partners, McKinsey and BCG. Batten & Company also continues to be among the top 10 in the overall ranking of the 34 best management consultancies.

What does the award mean?

The WGMB study determines which specialized consulting firms are considered more competent by executives from large and medium-sized companies than the three major consulting firms McKinsey, BCG and Roland Berger.

The “Hidden Champions” are consultancies that stand out in their field due to their outstanding expertise – regardless of their name recognition. The selection is made exclusively by an independent panel of experts and on the basis of scientific analyses. It is not possible to apply, which makes the award all the more valuable.

Top consultant

We are proud to have been recognized once again by the Handelsblatt Research Institute (HRI) as a top consultancy in 2025 – and in six categories:

  • Banking & Financial Services
  • Family Businesses & SMEs
  • Consumer Goods & Retail
  • Marketing & Sales
  • Strategy & Organizational Development
  • Insurance

The Handelsblatt Research Institute (HRI) conducted a comprehensive analysis and carefully evaluated a peer group of 15,700 management consultants from over 335 consulting firms. The selection of the most renowned consulting firms is based on an independent survey in which self-assessments and voting cartels are excluded.

This repeated six-time award confirms our expertise and commitment to our customers. We are grateful for this recognition and look forward to continuing to develop successful strategies and solutions with you in the future.
