With over €13.5 million in annual revenue, a stable EBIT margin, and the most successful fiscal year in the company’s history, eology is realigning its leadership team. This lays the groundwork for further growth and positions the digital marketing agency firmly for the changes brought about by artificial intelligence.
Since July 1, 2026, Christian Stephan has led the agency as CEO (Chief Executive Officer) and Managing Director. Together with Fabian Drescher as CFO (Chief Financial Officer) and Mario Strack as CGO (Chief Growth Officer), he forms eology’s new C-level leadership team. All three have been with eology for many years and have already played a significant role in shaping the agency’s development in senior positions.
Founders and owners Daniel Unger and Axel Scheuering are stepping down from the management board as part of this realignment and withdrawing from day-to-day operations. As equal shareholders, they remain closely connected to the company for the long term and will support the new management team going forward as part of the Advisory Board.
For Christian Stephan, the new leadership structure is the logical response to a market being fundamentally transformed by artificial intelligence: “Our industry is currently evolving at tremendous speed. The new leadership structure enables us to make faster decisions and establishes clear responsibilities. This allows us to translate innovation into effective solutions for our clients more precisely and actively seize the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence.”
As CFO, Fabian Drescher will be responsible for Finance, HR, and IT going forward. His focus is on consistently aligning internal structures with further growth: “Sustainable growth requires not just good ideas, but also processes and structures that are manageable and scalable.”
Mario Strack, as Chief Growth Officer, brings together the agency’s growth strategy and strategic client development: “Our aim is not just to support companies in digital marketing, but to open up new growth potential together with them. Artificial intelligence is transforming digital visibility and creating entirely new opportunities — for our clients as well as for eology.”
For the two company founders, the realignment marks a deliberately planned step in the company’s development. After more than 16 years of operational responsibility, they are handing over leadership to an experienced management team from within the company’s own ranks, while remaining closely involved in the agency’s strategic direction.
“We always built eology with the goal that the agency would be successful in the long term and that growth wouldn’t depend on individual people,” says Daniel Unger. “Now is the right time to distribute responsibility across more shoulders and take the next step in our development. Christian, Fabian, and Mario have known eology, our clients, and our company culture for many years. They have the experience and the drive to lead the agency successfully into its next phase.”
Axel Scheuering also sees great potential in the new distribution of roles: “As shareholders, we can now contribute our experience even more purposefully through the Advisory Board. We will support the management team as strategic sparring partners, while giving the new leadership team the freedom to develop eology independently.”
