WMP offers expert consulting tailored to every area of industry and business. We use our expertise in each sector to develop individual solutions for our clients’ communications challenges.
Financial Services
Years after the financial crisis, the public still mistrusts the finance industry. That means trustworthiness and transparency are essential for communications to succeed. The team in our Frankfurt office specializes in the particular needs and legal requirements of banks, financial service providers and insurance companies. We tailor communications concepts to your situation and ensure the communications we create are unique, persuasive and effective.
We support you by
- Developing your equity story and presenting it to shareholders, investors and the financial media
- Maintaining relations with investors, shareholders and the public
- Drafting business and CSR reports according to all established reporting standards
- Handling the media during your initial public offering, transactions, annual press conferences or in crisis situations
Health Care & Pharma
Few industries are as strictly regulated as the health sector. Our subsidiary WMP HealthCare GmbH advises interest groups, corporations, and institutions in this area. We detect political developments early on and help our clients react appropriately, and we actively put forth their political and economic interests.
We support you by
- Identifying your political goals and developing implementation strategies
- Presenting your corporate model and interests in the media and toward the target audience
- Strengthening ties to important political stakeholders in the health care sector
Mobility
Every day, Germans travel more than 3.2 billion kilometres – mostly by car, but also by bus, train and on foot. The mobility sector changed fundamentally with the invention of the car 130 years ago. Now, swift technological advances, increasing digitalization and a focus on the environment are overhauling this sector afresh, creating new communications challenges.

Nation branding enables countries to improve their reputation in politics, business, science, tourism and culture. We can create a brand for your country and share this image or messaging with the German public. Our communications and networking strategies will reflect and represent your interests, and establish a sense of understanding and trust.
We support you by

Real Estate
The real estate sector includes more 70,000 companies in Germany, all competing for the attention of tenants, buyers, investors, project managers and shareholders. In times of spatial scarcity in urban areas on the one hand, and rural flight on the other, the issue of housing is a major concern for tenants, property owners, politics and the media.
We support you by
- Preparing strategic communications concepts for real estate investments, project developments and real estate services, and rolling out communications measures to suit your needs
