A complete digital presence for Kernzo, a Berlin-based Business English school specialising in high-level language training for executives and teams. From brand identity and website to ongoing social media on TikTok and Instagram.
Kernzo is a Berlin-based Business English school specialising in high-level language and communication training for executives, founders and senior professionals across the DACH region. Clients include leaders from Siemens, Wikimedia Deutschland, Sony and WISTA Management GmbH.
The goal was to build a complete digital presence from the ground up: a brand identity that positioned Kernzo as a leadership consultancy rather than a language school, a website that converted corporate decision-makers within seconds, and an ongoing social media strategy to establish the founder as a thought leader in executive communication.
The project included in-person strategy sessions, brand direction, website design and development, copywriting in English, and full social media management across LinkedIn and Instagram: a complete brand build, not just a website.
Language schools look like language schools. Pastel colours, stock photos of smiling students, generic “learn with us” messaging. Kernzo’s clients are C-suite executives at Siemens and Sony, people who evaluate business partners in seconds and would dismiss anything that read as a classroom. The brand needed to speak their language before a single word was said.
We built Kernzo to look and feel like a leadership consultancy. Deep navy and orange, the palette of top-tier financial institutions. Playfair Display headlines that signal editorial authority. Copy written around executive self-image, not language mechanics: “Think fast. Speak clearly. Lead confidently.” Two distinct conversion flows, one for organisations, one for individuals, each ending in a consultation booking.
In-person strategy sessions to define Kernzo’s positioning in the executive education market. Analysis of competitors, client profiles (Siemens, Sony, Wikimedia) and what signals authority and trust to German corporate decision-makers.
Deep navy, light blue and white palette, authority paired with clarity. Playfair Display as the brand voice: editorial and professional. Full design system with reusable components for web pages, course cards and social media content, ensuring visual consistency across every touchpoint.
Multi-page Wix site with dedicated flows for individual professionals and corporate teams. Course pages structured around duration, module breakdown and outcomes. English copywriting crafted to address the executive’s real challenge: communication confidence, not just vocabulary. Fully responsive across all devices.
TikTok and Instagram strategy built around two content pillars: educational short-form video for individual learners, and credibility content for corporate decision-makers. Content calendar, script writing, post design and community management, building Kernzo’s presence beyond its existing network.
The hero opens with a full-bleed photo of professionals in a business context, overlaid with deep navy. This immediately separates Kernzo from the pastel, stock-photo world of generic language schools. Before a single course description is read, the visitor understands this is a serious educational environment.
The “Kostenlose Beratung” (free consultation) button appears in light blue at every key decision point: in the hero, after course descriptions, and at the bottom of every page. One consistent CTA colour means the conversion path is always visible. No confusion about what to do next.
Every course page leads with what the professional will be able to do differently: negotiate in English, run meetings with confidence, network at international events. Duration is shown upfront (2, 8, 12 weeks). Professionals don’t have time to dig for information; the site gives it to them immediately.
Two audiences with different needs and buying processes: corporate HR/L&D teams evaluating company training, and individual professionals seeking personal development. Separate page flows, separate messaging, each ending in a consultation booking with no friction.
Short-form video on TikTok builds awareness with individual learners searching for practical Business English content. Instagram reinforces brand credibility and drives traffic to the website. Both channels feed the top of the funnel, the website converts. Channel choice followed where the audience actually spends time.
Real quotes from Siemens, Wikimedia Deutschland and WISTA do more conversion work than any feature list. In B2B executive services, credibility is the product. Social proof from named, senior organisations is the fastest way to establish it instantly.
From the first strategy session to an active social media presence, Kernzo now has a complete digital brand built to attract and convert senior corporate clients across Germany and the wider DACH region. The website positions the founder as a leadership consultant, not a language teacher. The social content builds authority every week.
“The goal was to build a brand that earns trust before a single word is said, and makes it easy to say yes.”
