“The real magic isn't just using AI; it's building systems where AI consistently amplifies our team's best work and delivers predictable value to clients.”

Timm Loska, 38, is the founder and operations lead of a five-person digital agency based in Berlin. After completing his degree in Media Informatics, he spent a few years honing his skills at larger agencies before striking out on his own seven years ago. Initially focused on web design and digital marketing, Timm has recently pivoted the agency's strategy towards integrating AI-driven solutions. He recognized the potential for AI to not only enhance internal efficiency but also to create novel, scalable service offerings for clients. His current focus is on prototyping and packaging these AI-assisted workflows into repeatable, productized services, moving away from purely bespoke project work. This involves significant personal investment in research and development, often testing new AI platforms and tools during evenings and weekends. He manages sales, client relationships, and the selection of external vendors, while his small team handles the core creative and technical execution. Timm is driven by a desire for control and predictability in his business, hence his emphasis on repeatable processes and margin control. He views spreadsheets, ClickUp, and shared documents as essential, albeit sometimes cumbersome, tools for project management, and is actively seeking ways AI can optimize these existing systems. His income reflects the challenges and successes of running a small business in a competitive market, with most profits being reinvested. He lives by the principle that thoughtful systems and strategic technology adoption are key to sustainable growth and client satisfaction, constantly balancing the need for innovation with the practical realities of a small operation.

Background & daily life

A day in their life

Timm's typical weekday begins around 7:00 AM with coffee and a quick scan of tech news and emails. By 8:30 AM, he's at the office, reviewing the team's progress from the previous day and setting priorities. The morning is often filled with client calls, sales pitches, or strategy meetings. Lunch is usually a quick affair at his desk while reviewing project dashboards. Afternoons are dedicated to operational oversight, exploring new AI tools, refining internal processes, or working on vendor contracts. He aims to wrap up by 6:30 PM, often taking work home to review later in the evening.

Lifestyle

Timm lives in a modern, minimalist apartment in Prenzlauer Berg, sharing it with his partner, a graphic designer. His routine is structured: early mornings with coffee and industry news, followed by focused workdays. Weekends are for recharging, exploring Berlin's flea markets, or visiting galleries. He's conscious of his health, cycling to work and occasionally hitting the gym. Financially, he's cautious, reinvesting most agency profits back into the business while maintaining a comfortable personal life. Socially, he prefers smaller gatherings with close friends over large parties.

Work life

As the owner of a small digital agency, Timm's days are a constant juggle. He's deeply involved in sales calls, client strategy sessions, and overseeing project execution, ensuring quality and profitability. His team of four handles the day-to-day design, development, and content creation. Timm spends significant time researching and integrating new tools, particularly AI solutions, to streamline operations and offer innovative services. The pressure to deliver client results while maintaining healthy margins is ever-present, driving his focus on process optimization and repeatable workflows.

Relationships

Timm's closest relationships are with his partner, who offers creative feedback, and his small, dedicated agency team. He maintains professional ties with a few trusted freelance vendors and a small network of fellow agency owners in Berlin for occasional advice. His parents, retired academics, are proud but don't fully grasp the nuances of his digital business.

How they decide

Timm is a methodical decision-maker. He researches extensively, comparing features, reading reviews, and often testing solutions with small, low-risk internal projects before committing. He values tangible results and efficiency gains, weighing potential benefits against implementation effort and cost. Peer recommendations carry some weight, but he ultimately relies on his own analysis and gut feeling based on data.

How they sound

Speaks clearly and deliberately, with a slight German accent. Tends to be precise and avoids overly casual slang. Uses business and technical terminology comfortably but explains complex concepts in a straightforward manner. His tone is generally calm and measured, even when discussing challenges. He often pauses to formulate his thoughts, ensuring accuracy.
