Evidence Based
Consulting
Ernst Seemann SRL
Brand Development & Management
Welcome to our website. It is nice and certainly no coincidence that you have found your way here. From here on we can accompany you. Ernst Seemann has evolved from my grandfather's small grocery store of the same name into a consulting boutique that can help companies and institutions send messages to achieve results. At the interface between business, politics and the public, we are experienced advisors and doers who work alongside our clients to formulate, focus on and achieve their goals. Our services range from sales-supporting public relations, public relations, public affairs and effective advertising campaigns.
We refer to our offer as "Evidence Based Consulting". You can find out exactly what we mean by this here.
Please contact me for a personal, non-binding initial consultation.

Regulatory Growth & Market Access for Companies in the DACH and Benelux Regions
No membership, but market access: We help B2B companies understand EU regulations and turn them into concrete business opportunities for entering the single market.
For companies, associations, and technology providers that need more than traditional consulting: market analysis, positioning, strategic contacts, advocacy, and sustainable business development in the D/A/CH region and the Benelux countries, with offices in Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland.
Our services
Regulatory Intelligence
European regulations are transforming business models: multilingual and sustainable. Our market intelligence helps you understand how and why. This is how we assist with market entry from Switzerland and Liechtenstein into other countries in the D/A/CH and BeNeLux regions—and vice versa.
Demoscopy
Opinion and social research forms the basis of the scientific findings on which our consulting services are based. Through representative qualitative-quantitative surveys and analyses, we know consumer or voter behavior in the targeted areas precisely. To this end, we work closely with the renowned opinion research institute INSA Consulere.
Publishing
Journalistic and publishing experience that you can benefit from leads to regular publications, print products, books and media contributions on radio and television. Whether it's a script, press release or newsletter: we write with empathy, expertise and comprehensibility. What people like to read has an impact.
The future of accounting:
E-billing with Billit and Seemann
The future of accounting:
The digitization of the business world is no longer a future scenario—it is already a reality. As the official representative of Billit AG in German-speaking countries, Seemannsupports companies of all sizes in making the transition to digital invoicing (e-invoicing) seamless, legally compliant, and efficient.
Why now is the right time to make the switch
Legal requirements are becoming stricter across Europe. Those who act now will not only avoid short-term stress, but also benefit immediately from optimized processes. In Belgium, e-invoicing has been a legal requirement in the B2B sector since January 1, 2026. Companies must now be able to send and receive structured electronic invoices. Change is also imminent in Germany and Austria. From 2027, far-reaching obligations for companies will come into effect as part of the gradual introduction of e-invoicing.
Our podcasts on Spotify and elsewhere
"Do you really believe that?"
"Do you really believe that?", a small window into the weekend, will now be broadcast every Friday on "Wake up!", the morning show on Radio Contact Ostbelgien NOW. In it, Thomas Philipp Reiter looks at everyday life from the perspective of faith. Thomas is a trained journalist and a Belgian who grew up in Hamburg. He moved from Brussels to the Belgian Eifel region and reports on similar topics from across BeNeLux for German-language media. For him, this is a constant "reflection on God and the world".
"Fries & Football"
KAS Eupen and presenter Thomas Philipp Reiter are now the only German-speaking club in the Belgian Pro League to offer a new podcast. "Frites & Football" highlights two Belgian export hits. As long as it takes to enjoy a portion of fries, they talk about the most beautiful minor matter in the world. The listener also learns a lot about the country that enjoys worldwide respect for both the invention of fries and its soccer. Exciting guests are invited to discuss their experiences with Belgian soccer.
"Brother Klaus"
Brother Klaus (1417-1487) is one of the most influential leading figures in Switzerland. He is a role model in mysticism and spirituality, society and politics as well as a human being with his strengths and weaknesses. The importance of his wife Dorothee Wyss (1430/32-1495/96) for his life is undisputed. Supported by her, Niklaus von Flüe bore responsibility in his family, profession and public life. Anyone who knows nothing about this saint will find a good introduction here. A production for the Friends of Niklaus von Flüe and Dorothee Wyss.
