Next year, a 21-year-old businessman hailing from Osnabrück is set to reach seven-digit sales figures.
Bold and Brash at the Break of Dawn: The Rise of 21-Year-Old Digital Marketing Whiz, Niklas Gerbershagen
A twentysomething entrepreneur fresh off his evening's bedtime reading of Steve Jobs' biography, Niklas Gerbershagen from Osnabrück's Sonnenhügel district is turning heads in the online marketing world. His office? A hallway decked with the quotable, "In good times, people wish to advertise; in bad times, they must."
The kid is calling the shots at NG Medien, an online marketing agency that's garnering attention fast. With a firm focus on polishing social media channels, Niklas and his crew are tapping into their generation's marketing mindset—driving reach and leads for clients.
From Internet Phenom to Business Guru
If you're thinking "twelve years old running a YouTube channel and 70,000 Facebook followers," you've found our man. Even back then, Niklas knew he'd rule the digital waves post-high school. His apprenticeship as a media merchant quickened the pace, wrapping up in a speedy two-and-a-half years. Eager for more, Niklas didn't hesitate—he founded NG Medien a few days later.
Just two months on the job, and his client base is booming. From sports clubs to artists to medium-sized enterprises, the crew is winning new clients by the day. And they've got their sights set on a big goal: a six-figure turnover by next year.
From Novice to Net Worth
It's safe to say Niklas nailed his apprenticeship—buffing his skills in digital marketing, SEO, social media management, and content creation. Armed with practical know-how, he dove deep into independent learning, keeping his marketing chops sharp and up-to-date with industry trends, tools, and tactics.
Building a portfolio—from personal projects to freelance gigs—helped Niklas showcase his digital talent while expanding his professional network. Spotting a gap in the market for customized, measurable online marketing services for small and medium-sized businesses, Niklas seized the opportunity. NG Medien was born, and clients flocked.
