Corporate clients today are demanding more from
advertising and marketing than traditional advertising
agencies can solve. Technology companies on the other hand
can solve many of these new demands, but do often not
have enough in-house marketing knowledge.This is why
Astronaut has positioned itself right in the middle between
marketing and technology.
Furthermore, unlike other marketing companies, Astronaut
has used it¡¯s insights to developed it¡¯s own product, called
Spayz (pronounced ¡®space¡¯), which handles data from the
marketing activities in real time and gives insights into user
activities which no other platform can offer.

... and it¡¯s founder
Michael Kaltenhauser arrived in Beijing 5 years ago to set up
Astronaut. He had an 20 years long advertising career in central
Europe and London, UK where he worked for global advertising
agencies such as McCann Erickson, BBDO, Wunderman and Young
& Rubicam.
In Michael's portfolio are such brands like Coca Cola, Swatch,
Mercedes, Cannon, Orange, just to name a few, for which he
created TV, print and outdoor advertising campaigns, as well as
event marketing strategies. His work has been published in several
adverting books and magazines, and he¡¯s work has been given
awards like the Effie and the Art Directors Club Award.
After setting up the London brand and design consultancy Captive,
which was ranked by Creative Review amongst the top British
companies in it¡¯s field, he saw the changes in the branding and
advertising industry and so in 2009 he set up Astronaut, first in
London, before moving it to Beijing.
The influential American media and tech
website Business Insider placed Michael
amongst the world's most 30 creative people
in social media marketing.

Income forecast
The income is initially generated by servicing international
clients, running their social integration of ATL and BTL
campaigns, as well as building influencer networks. The
client group B takes longer to generate a bigger income
share as single budgets are smaller, but after roughly 2 - 3
years it will account for approximately a third of the
turnover. Client group C creates initially mostly value for
group A and B, but as time goes on big volume selling of
cheap services is creating a significant part
of the overall income.

Income ratio shift
? As more diverse products
are developed - also for
client group C - the income
ratio will shift.
