derks bmc in ‚brand eins‘ ranking of top consultancies 2026

Munich, 16 March 2026. derks brand management consultants is represented in the prestigious brand eins ranking of ‘Best Consultants’ for 2026. The annual survey, which is conducted by the business magazine brand eins in collaboration with Statista to identify the best German consultancies by industry, is based exclusively on recommendations from industry experts, competitors and customers from various industries. It is not possible to nominate oneself. The rating, published in March 2026, provides transparency and identifies consultancies with exceptional relevance in their respective fields of expertise.

Hansgeorg Derks: “We are delighted to receive this award, as it carries an exceptionally high reputation. As an independent review, it documents that our services are highly regarded not only by our clients, but also throughout our entire industry. We deliver more than average quality, focusing instead on excellence and innovative strength. This is particularly true in the European SME sector and among family-owned companies, where we, as a boutique consultancy, are a relevant player with operational impact. This is because we analyse with independence, clarity and consistency. When it comes to operational implementation, we act unconventionally, with flexibility and speed in long-term consulting mandates. This is our asset in the consulting segment. And today, where we face complex challenges and economic, political and social dynamics are difficult to plan for, this is essential.”

Klara Derks: “Today, transformation is not a question of image, but one of structural sustainability. Companies are under increasing market and competitive pressure. Strategic decisions are evaluated more quickly and directly. My experience in the finance sector shapes our focus on economic viability and clear prioritisation. As an independent, deliberately focused boutique, we combine analytical depth with operational implementation: working in close proximity to business realities, making decisions quickly and implementing them consistently. The fact that our market environment recommends our expertise is both a confirmation and an incentive for us.”
