blank e.G., is the first and so far only cooperative in which freelancers from the Post & 3D sector join forces.
What does that mean in concrete terms?
You have been self-employed in advertising for a long time, e.g. as a CGI professional, AR/VR professional, post professional… You like your freelance work, you’ve built up a solid client base, you have a good workflow, you like your freedom and your career. But something is missing?
The jobs are somehow getting more and more complex, clients expect more and more, the tone is getting harsher, the timings tighter, the demands higher… And sometimes you’d like to exchange ideas with other self-employed people.
Can you find yourself again?
At least that’s how we feel and that’s why we’ve formed a cooperative.
Sounds good?
What is a cooperative
anyway?
The basic idea of a cooperative is the following:
‘Persons or enterprises in a comparable situation and having similar interests join for specific purposes in order to strengthen their competitive position in the market. The cooperative members maintain their legal and economic independence.’
But that’s not all, because the way a cooperative really ticks is determined by the articles of association. And the members themselves decide on the articles of association. Everyone has an equal vote. There are no flatter hierarchies.
What we want to achieve by merging into a cooperative in the advertising industry is simple:
- A better working atmosphere
- A strong network behind us
- Eye level from start to finish.
Every member benefits from a cooperative. Because each of us is independent with all our expertise and without any competition, because we have a common goal: the best possible result in a pleasant working atmosphere.
We support each other in word and deed and can work together to land and process large orders.

self-employed people who want MORE.
By the way: you can find our founding story here.
You know that too:
We work hard, give our all day in, day out and only make slow progress. Sure, the job is cool, as is the advertising and marketing industry. But swimming along in the big shark tank only gets more and more exhausting instead of easier. And at some point you get to the point where you ask yourself whether your career is compatible with your inner compass at all. You’re always in constant competition, even if it’s just with the prejudices about freelancers, constantly having to prove that you’re also capable as a lone fighter, that you’re reliable and quality-conscious and worthy of trust. But there’s no other way to be a freelancer, is there?
Yes – with us! In a cooperative! With Blank e.G.!
Are we looking for you?
If you have a creative mind, want to live the cooperative idea with us, can identify with it and are keen to work together – then get in touch now so that we can get to know each other.
What we want is to work differently. With added value for everyone, whether comrade or customer. But we still want to work, of course; a cooperative does not mean that work becomes superfluous.
So if you think a cooperative means “lying on your lazy ass and just profiting”, then please
please don’t get in touch.
What should you bring?
You are a CGI professional, AR/VR professional, post professional, sales professional or simply a talent from the advertising industry who can and wants to advance our cooperative and the idea behind it. You are self-employed and want to have a strong network behind you that offers decentralized support beyond competition and non-commitment.
You feel addressed?
