We Are Era appoints Stefan Kramer as EVP Corporate Development

We Are Era, one of the fastest growing companies in the European community economy, is strengthening its personnel on its growth path: Stefan Kramer will take over the position of Executive Vice President Corporate Development as of February 1.

In his new role, Kramer will actively drive the next growth phase of We Are Era and support the company primarily in cross-location organizational development, corporate planning, identification of new business opportunities and its M&A activities. This includes, for example, the integration process of Social Match, a leading social media agency with 120 employees. A few weeks ago, We Are Era acquired 100 percent of the company's shares in order to strengthen its market position in the DACH region and establish a focus on the disciplines of influencer marketing and paid advertising.

“For me, We Are Era is one of the most exciting companies in the European media industry - not only because of its impressive growth story, but also because of its unique corporate culture and great team. I have already had the pleasure of getting to know the company intensively in the past as part of several M&A processes and have come to appreciate its dynamism and vision. I am all the more looking forward to helping shape the next ERA of this extraordinary growth story,” says Stefan Kramer.

“Stefan has exactly the right skills, energy and attitude to drive our expansion forward. He shares our vision, knows our business and is a real team player - exactly what we need to write a market-leading growth story. The fact that we have been able to attract someone like Stefan also speaks volumes for our development, the attractiveness of our team and our mission. After several successful projects in the past, I am delighted to now have him as a permanent member of the team,” says Tobias Schiwek, CEO of We Are Era, to whom Kramer will report in future.

Kramer joins We Are Era from RTL Group, where he contributed to corporate strategy as Head of Strategy & Business Development and oversaw extensive M&A processes. His core responsibilities included identifying trends and market potential, deriving strategic recommendations, and optimizing business processes. Additionally, he was responsible for organizing the group-wide Synergy Committees.
