About us

BERLINCALLING is a community for artists of different disciplines (video, animation, audio), the industry, and its customers. We provide a platform that allows all these groups to connect, cooperate, communicate, and create. BERLINCALLING markets and provides high-quality digital content.

It's mobile: Moving images for mobile communication At BerlinCalling we are on a mission: We want to provide top-quality audio and video content for mobile devices. Superior mobile content is professionally optimized and adapted for the third generation of new mobile handsets, bringing high-quality video and audio to the small screen.

It's more: We also work with marketing agencies and international companies. In cooperation with our contracted artists we develop and produce visuals, videos, sounds and sound brandings for marketing campaigns, brand support, etc.

Transparency BerlinCalling cooperates closely with distributors in various countries. All sales revenues income are shared evenly with the artists. So if we sell, say, your clip, we'll split the earnings with you 50:50. It's a whole new business opportunity for artists who want to monetize their content.

Community BerlinCalling is not only about making the sale and making money. We also care about great content. That's why we want to inspire you and to serve as a platform where you can find cooperation partners to create new mobile content. We want musicians to team up with graphic designers, character designers with animation specialists, animation specialists with video artists, sound designers with brand experts - you get the drift.

Management Team: From creativity to marketing

TOM LANG. Managing Director and Creative Director. Tom is the main source of BerlinCalling's creative energy. Even as a child, he was passionate about visuals, sound, and music, and he continues to live this passion as audio/video producer and musician (piano, keyboard, bass, percussion).

His portfolio includes more than 50 productions for radio, TV, and movies as well as mobile content for brands including 02, Air Berlin, Adidas, Siemens, Samsung, LG Electronics.

2003, Tom began adapting and producing digital content for mobile phones. As production designer for Jamba, he was co-responsible for the company's first proprietary ring tune "Hippo Rave" - a smash hit throughout Europe that was later released on numerous compilations. Tom later joined Europe's leading digital marketer and content service provider, Buongiorno GmbH, as Senior Content Manager, immersing himself even deeper into the world of mobile entertainment.

What this world lacked was a transparent, fair marketplace for mobile entertainment content. A place that connects artists and distributors of mobile content. A platform for high-quality audio and video productions, and a source of inspiration and collaboration among artists of different disciplines. In 2005, Tom together with Mark D. Schmiedel toyed with the idea of creating such a place that would set a new trend for the entire industry - and BerlinCalling is the manifestation of this idea.

FRANK-J. ARNOLD. Managing Director. Frank has worked in the telecommunications business for more than 10 years. He has consulted various companies, including Deutsche Telekom AG, T-Mobile, and Kabel Hessen, in the area of innovative and interactive services.
