Creative agency from Cologne
We’re the feature. From Cologne since 2018.
FT Funkturm is a creative and advertising agency in the south of Cologne. We combine strategy, creation and marketing – and always put our clients’ brands first.
The ft. in Funkturm
The FT in Funkturm stands for featuring. Working as equals is our guiding principle – we always work together with our clients, never over their heads.
Good input makes good output. Even if you can’t quite name what you need yet: we’ll figure it out together. And when the project is done, your name comes first. Ours comes after.

Karim Kane
Managing Director & Creative Director – your link to strategy, creation and marketing.
Karim brings experience from renowned agencies, winning pitches and creative campaigns. In 2018 he founded agentur funkturm with his team, followed in 2023 by FT Funkturm with a new team – to put his own design principles into practice and exceed client expectations.
As creative director he has a feel for trends and zeitgeist, and the ability to translate them into designs that fit the brand. His motto: “I’m only happy once you’re happy all round. At our place, a first-class product comes with perfect service.”
Creative space in Cologne-Sülz
Our studio on Münstereifeler Straße is the epicentre of our creative pulse. From the design boards to the desks, everything is set up for ideas to happen – and for clients to drop by for a coffee.
We feel at home in the middle of Cologne life, and work for companies from Cologne, across Germany and beyond – on site or remotely.
