RYZE Digital acquires stake in comspace

(Mainz / Bielefeld - 05.01.2026) - RYZE Digital, the tech agency among communications agencies, is acquiring a majority stake in the Bielefeld-based digital agency comspace. With this merger, the RYZE Group has grown to over 300 experts and is thus taking a significant step towards a new generation of corporate communications - strategically, creatively and technologically deeply integrated.

 

Another tech hub for RYZE in Bielefeld

comspace has stood for technological excellence for over two decades - with expertise in Crownpeak/FirstSpirit, Storyblok, Sharedien, Scaleflex and Celum as well as sophisticated integrations in the enterprise environment.

 

With this investment, RYZE is expanding its presence with the Bielefeld location, which fits into the existing location structure with the headquarters in Mainz and the Erkrath and Darmstadt locations. Together, the locations form the technological and professional basis of the group. Services, teams and expertise are organised and accessible across all locations, while different focal points have emerged at the individual locations, which together shape RYZE's special service profile.

 

Continuity and future: founder stays on board

For comspace, the investment marks the beginning of a new chapter. Andreas Kämmer, founder and managing director, will retain a substantial stake and will continue to run the company together with the existing management team. This guarantees continuity and emphasises the shared understanding of a technologically-driven, future-oriented development. The comspace brand will also be retained, in future with the addition of "part of RYZE Digital".

 

The new category: Tech-Driven Corporate Communications

With comspace on board, RYZE is sharpening its strategic positioning: RYZE is consistently transferring the methods, systems and automation logics from performance marketing, data architectures and modern digital technology to corporate communications.

What were previously separate worlds are now merging:

• data-based control
• intelligent content and workflow systems
• modular platform architectures
• AI-supported automation
• cross-channel personalisation & e-commerce

The result is an integrated discipline:
Tech-Driven Corporate Communications - communication that not only tells a story, but is intelligently orchestrated, operationalised and made scalable.

 

Strategy, creativity and technology - integrated as rarely seen on the market

The combination of comspace's expertise with RYZE's strengths creates an integrated offering that is hard to find on the German market. In future, companies will benefit from the combined power of:

• strategic communications consulting that systematically links corporate logic, stakeholder interests and corporate purpose
• creative and content excellence that strengthens brands and tells complex topics in a clear, concise and visually convincing way
• technological depth in the DXP, CMS and integration environment - including complex commerce setups as part of holistic digital experiences
• AI-supported tools and automation solutions such as the RYZE AI Suite / RYZE AI Cockpit, which make communication more scalable, faster and smarter
