Meet the founders
What happens when strategic depth meets creative spark? Meet the founders.
At EIGA, this creative tension has inspired a powerful dynamic for over two decades. Elisabeth Plass and Henning Otto lead and support the branding team with a shared enthusiasm for branding and design.
Elisabeth is a passionate creative with a sharp sense for trends and a deep understanding of brand aesthetics and exellence. With over 20 years in a leading role in the design industry, she has shaped visual identities for brands across a wide range of industries.
Henning brings the same depth of experience in strategic brand building. Originally trained as a designer, he has grown into the role of strategist and advisor. His work spans both established organizations and ambitious new ventures.
As active voices in the design scene, juries, and advisory boards – and as mentors to the next generation – Elly and Henning continue to shape the German brand design landscape.

Fame and honor
We measure our success by the success of our clients. The additional confirmation by a specialist jury is also an important benchmark for us. With an award, it’s certified from an objective perspective that we continue to be one clear step ahead of the average.

EIGA was the most successful branding agency at the 2026 ADC Festival
According to Campaign Germany, we are ranked #7, following industry heavyweights such as Jung von Matt, Heimat, Scholz & Friends and Serviceplan. EIGA achieved the best result of any branding agency at this year’s festival with eleven ADC nails. Our team was awarded 1x gold, 5x silver and 5x bronze awards for our client work with Kulturstadt Hannover, Germany’s fastes growing childcare provider Katholino, and our long-term client Bauverein der Elbgemeinden.
Trust turns into investment – an African Nation Powered by Design
For the Central African Republic, we created the brand identity and communication framework behind Ambition28. A project connecting national ambition with global investment. Within two days in Casablanca, USD 9 billion in commitments were secured, including 18 major agreements with leading international institutions—proving that strategic brand development can actively drive economic transformation.
Bauverein der Elbgemeinden – Perspectives on Living
From annual reporting to social media, we developed a modular brand system that brings BVE’s values and neighborhoods to life. Built around the people, places, and architecture that define the cooperative. The result is a design system that tells stories from the existing portfolio itself – about community, responsibility, and the long-term development of housing in Hamburg.
We are your favorite collaboration
