Interview | Founding during your studies
Porträt SRH University Absolvent Florian Buck
Interview | Founding during your studies

Florian Buck talks about his own agency

Which company did you found and how did it come about?
I founded my TikTok marketing agency klickkraft.de in 2022, which came about because I set up a TikTok channel with over 100,000 subscribers at the beginning of Covid. As many companies contacted me because of my videos, I decided to set up an agency and help them achieve their goals.

How can you use the content from your studies in your work as a founder?
One of the most important qualities that helped me in my start-up phase is social skills. Organizational skills and selling ideas were also important. I was able to refine my skills in modules at SRH. By constantly practicing these skills in presentations and speeches, I was able to perfect them.
 

What do you like about studying at SRH?
Studying at SRH enabled me to gain experience as an entrepreneur and self-employed person alongside my studies. I was also encouraged and supported by a competent environment, which was reinforced by the small classes. As I was in close contact with the lecturers, I was able to contact them directly if I had any questions.
