Florian Keusch LinkedIn

Started as an IT technician. University entrance qualification instead of standard diploma, then studies through to a doctorate. From the Federal Chancellery and the editorial development of help.gv.at to brand leadership for a division of the Vienna Municipal Group. Over a decade of campaigns delivered, reaching across the DACH region. Turned a unit from a cost center into a profit center.

Each stage sharpened a perspective that was missing in the next. Most processes spread strategy, design, and engineering across different people and need someone to translate. When you've been the client for years, you understand what's meant.

keusch.wien turns that experience into a service: strategy, design, and technical execution, delivered as one unbroken thread.

For specialised tasks, I work with partners. Strategic responsibility stays with me.
