AKKURAT® opens in Berlin, Kreuzberg. Producer Rocco Kopecny and director Andreas Roth meet up at Rocco’s kitchen and decide to combine their skills and launch a business #whynot.
What started as a loose idea in Andreas’s notes has finally come to life, with the name inspired by the previously published AKKURAT® Journal.

We collaborated with Jung von Matt on a campaign for Bucherer, featuring renowned fencer Miles Chamley-Watson. We also produced a music video with Object + Animal for Snoh Aalegra, starring Michael B. Jordan alongside her. Additionally, we created a promo for Felix Jaehn, conducted a shoot in Los Angeles for Floyd directed by Mario Feil, and executed a campaign for Facebook.
Ideas are tangible, powered by real energy. To bring them to life, you need the right ingredients: hard work, passion, honesty, and most importantly, great friends.
With our close collaborators 2WEI and STORZ & ECHERISCH, AKKURAT® made its industry party debut at the Ciclope Festival event.
From a kitchen table to our first office space.
AKKURAT® was always envisioned as a hub for community and creativity. We planted our flag in Berlin’s Kreuzberg, settling into a storefront space. Friends stopped by, parties were thrown, and the brand was built piece by piece.
In the blink of an eye, the world shut down—our world shut down. With no end in sight, we did the best we could with what we had. AKKURAT® pivoted to producing masks while continuing to operate our business as usual.
Making the best of the situation, we continued to shoot and support a few select projects, including Sekou Andrews' "Love Says" in collaboration with Optimist, as well as campaigns for GmbH, Mercedes-Benz, Nivea, REWE, and more.
