Cramer-Krassekt
A CREATIVE & ADVERTISING AGENCY
When you think of iconic advertising campaigns, a few brands are bound to come to mind: Corona, Target, Apple, Marlboro, Nike. Why? Because these brands have managed their communications so precisely and consistently over the years they've formed a fictional brand world every bit as convincing and recognizable as any we might find in a richly textured novel, video game or Hollywood movie. In these brand worlds, just like in the real world, life follows a natural and predictable order, governed by certain laws of nature and physics. While it takes a clear brand vision, long-term focus and steady discipline to establish brands of this caliber, these worlds provide an essential foundation for successfully migrating brand communications to the new media world. Cramer-Krasselt; whoever has the most friends wins.

The company has also used selective acquisitions to bulk up its presence in markets such as online advertising, mobile devices, and enterprise software. In 2008 Microsoft made repeated efforts to acquire Yahoo! but was ultimately rebuffed; the two companies would instead sign a deal in 2009 to combine their search operations.
