Our Mission

We believe that digitalisation creates new opportunities for companies to build stronger customer loyalty. Hence, we support companies with the smart use of digital technologies to design their individual customer loyalty program and to establish personal communication with their customers.

In this way, we strengthen businesses’ relationship with their clients and activate loyal customers as brand ambassadors.

Our Story

Founder Franz Tretter has already implemented the first projects in the direction of digital customer cards via contactless customer loyalty cards in 2013.

Together with the co-founders, they moved with development by integrating digital loyalty cards into existing apps. This was followed by the large-scale expansion to have more than 350 satisfied customers in 25 countries.

On the one hand hello again has the know-how to cleverly use emotions in customer loyalty and on the other hand it is a joint venture of Szene1 and the fitness platform Runtastic.
