An agency built around useful deliverables.

Von Clausewitz is a market intelligence agency for management teams. We turn an agreed set of markets, competitors and business questions into a weekly text and audio briefing and a monthly competitive report covering five competitors in text and audio.

The work begins with a conversation. We define what matters, propose a focused coverage plan and agree the practical terms before reporting begins.

Your briefings are available as text and audio, in uploadable formats for SharePoint or Google Drive and through the Von Clausewitz app. The service also includes access to award-winning strategy book summaries. AI helps our research process cover more material efficiently. People make the editorial decisions: what matters, what can be left out and how the finding should be explained.

We are a Finnish agency working with management teams in Finland and their international markets.
