About

We Are GAULY 

GAULY is one of Germany’s leading independent corporate consultancies for strategy and communications. CEOs, members of executive and supervisory boards, owners, and communications directors trust our counsel in matters of strategic orientation and communications. 

Our 80 consultants and senior advisors work for global corporations and DAX-listed companies as well as for family-owned businesses and SMEs. We operate internationally – using our close networks with leading communications consultancies in all relevant markets as needed.

Our Approach

Value-added communication

Communication is the most important instrument for establishing and maintaining viable stakeholder relations. Relationships that are indispensable for successfully implementing strategies, achieving business goals, and strengthening reputation. Communications is therefore an integral part of corporate leadership and must be systematically planned and implemented based on the client’s strategic challenges and corporate goals.

We work with our clients to develop bespoke strategies and measures. We provide support in their implementation in accordance with your individual needs – as a strategic sounding board, process-safe consultant, or operational implementer.

Management Team

The diversity of our clients’ challenges is reflected in the diversity of our management team. Our consultants combine many years of expertise and corporate management experience as well as new ideas.

Our Mission

We Are Your Trusted Advisors

Our mission statement means that our clients can rely on us for the best advice regarding their strategic direction and communications. That we will safely accompany them through acute crisis situations and longer-term transformation processes. That we protect and enhance their reputation in order to safeguard values and create new value. That we are committed solely to them and their objectives. Our clients’ trust, our reputation, and our success are based on a clear attitude shared by our entire team – guided by values that all GAULY consultants feel committed to.

Integrity

Integrity

We say what we do, and we do what we say. We make no promises that we cannot deliver on. Utmost discretion goes without saying for us. If we represent interests or share information, whether in the media, in the political arena, or elsewhere, we do so only with the consent of and in the interest of our clients. We are strict about the legitimacy of our actions. We will make many things possible but will not do everything just because it can be done.

Quality

Quality

We strive to provide the best advisory services for our clients – in terms of both content and form. We work with analytical precision and grasp complex situations with a 360-degree view. We deliver convincing strategies and concepts that are well thought out. Our ideas are theoretically sound and realistically doable. Our services are not off-the-shelf but tailor-made for each individual situation. We are curious about trends and changes in the environment. That is why we are always working to develop new approaches and innovative solutions.

Expertise

Expertise

Our expertise is based on professional competence, experience, and diversity. We aspire to be among the best in our field. We know our clients’ businesses and daily routines because our experienced consultants have worked in specialist and management positions for renowned companies or political institutions. We combine this experience with fresh ideas and innovations from a variety of disciplines, from which we recruit the best talent. We work trustfully in small teams and share our experiences, knowledge, and networks. And we never stop learning but keep improving and educating ourselves.

Customer Focus

Customer Focus

We systematically design communications based on our clients’ business goals, strategies, and business models. And we are quick: in our understanding, thinking, and in finding answers. We are accessible and available when we are needed. We work thoroughly, in a purposeful and pragmatic way. We give advice as equal partners and provide our clients with what they need. We are happy to go beyond what was originally requested, but we do not sell our clients anything they do not need because we favor long-term customer relationships above short-term business.

Responsibility

Responsibility

Our clients trust us in critical situations. Trust creates responsibility, for example, for the results and repercussions of our advice and recommendations. We are constantly aware of this. However, beyond feeling responsible for our business, we are also committed to our free, democratic society. That is why we invest know-how and time pro bono, to advise non-profit organizations whose topics and work we feel is important.

Respect

Respect

Communications consulting always takes place between people. Thus, treating one another with respect is of utmost importance to us, whether it be on the team or in our relations with our customers or with other stakeholders. For us, this also means appreciating diversity in all its facets and seeing it as an opportunity. We listen, we value other opinions, we respectfully strive for optimum solutions, and we are open to constructive suggestions for improvement. We keep challenging ourselves, since quality and pride in one’s achievements should always be tempered with modesty and critical thinking.
