About us
Who we are
Two friends who spent years working for other brands and at some point decided: we can do this under our own name. For the businesses of our city instead of corporations.
null3null in one sentence
null3null is the video production company of Öykü Bargan and Nils Grinbergs at Strausberger Platz in Berlin-Friedrichshain: we shoot videos for Berlin's small and mid-sized businesses, for websites, ads and social media, and run the channels where they work if they want us to.
The story
First for the big names, now for Berlin
We both come from several years in the music and tech industries, as employees, not as clients of null3null. Öykü studied film production and worked at Ableton, Boiler Room and streaming provider Pantaflix before becoming a film producer; at Boiler Room she worked on live stream production and content for the sets. Nils studied marketing and comes from more than eight years in marketing, most recently at Ableton, before that at Universal Music.
You learn two things there. How brands carry themselves when they cannot be overlooked. And how much craft sits between an idea and a finished film: shot plan, light, sound, edit, and the many decisions in between that nobody sees and everybody feels.
At some point the question was no longer whether we could do this, but for whom. The answer is in our calendar today: the gallery with its summer exhibition, the osteopathy practice in Kreuzberg, the artist portrait for a gallery in Atlanta. Businesses where a film is not the hundredth asset but the first one that really shows them.
Öykü & Nils
Öykü Bargan
Co-founder & managing director
Studied film production and worked at Ableton, Boiler Room and streaming provider Pantaflix before becoming a film producer. At null3null she directs concept and shoot, and the channels afterwards.
Nils Grinbergs
Co-founder & managing director
More than eight years in marketing, most recently at Ableton, before that at Universal Music. At null3null he owns strategy, edit and ads. Legally responsible for this site.
What sets us apart from bigger shops is not a philosophy but arithmetic: there are two of us. Book us and you get us, in the first call, on set and in the edit. No account layer, no changing contacts and no catch.
What you can hold us to
Three things we do not promise: guaranteed reach, because nobody can promise that honestly. Viral hits on demand, for the same reason. And that everything happens overnight, because organic growth takes months, not weeks. What you get instead can be checked: a date that holds, a film you approve before it goes live, and channels where something happens every week.
Strausberger Platz, Friedrichshain
We are based at Strausberger Platz in Berlin-Friedrichshain and shoot across the whole city: most recently at the osteopathy practice in Kreuzberg, in galleries and at the POSITIONS art fair. A shoot in Berlin costs you neither travel nor hotel, and for the first meeting we come to you instead of a video call. For projects we travel nationwide; one artist portrait of ours made it all the way to Atlanta.
FAQ
Frequently asked
Who’s behind null3null?
The two of us: Öykü Bargan and Nils Grinbergs, founders and managing directors. Before the agency we spent several years working together in marketing teams in music and tech; at null3null we do everything ourselves: from concept to finished campaign.
What experience do you bring?
Öykü studied film production and worked at Ableton, Boiler Room and streaming provider Pantaflix before becoming a film producer; Nils studied marketing, then spent more than eight years in marketing teams, most recently at Ableton, before that at Universal Music. Everywhere as employees, not as clients. From those years comes our benchmark for how brands sound and what video has to look like for someone to watch it to the end.
What does the name “030 Social” / “null3null social” mean?
“030” is Berlin’s telephone area code: the name clearly roots the agency in the city. “null3null social” is the spelled-out version of the same name.
What does working with you cost?
Prices depend on shoot scope and service; we’ll give you the actual price range in the first conversation, in writing in the proposal before you sign.
Which clients have you worked with so far?
Five names are on our calendar right now. For Pegah Edalatian, Secretary General of BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN, we run the social media channels. We promoted the group exhibition “Dreaming & Drifting” for Galerie Friedmann-Hahn. For the Mindshift Institute we covered a seminar on inner child healing. storiesberlin trusted us with interviews with Tink Studio, Janus the Bouncer and Achim of Natursprung. And for kiwabo we produced a product video series covering every product line, plus an image film with a founder interview.
Do you really do everything yourselves?
Concept, camera, edit, content calendar and ads management: yes. We don’t buy in production and we don’t pass anything to rotating freelancers. That’s why we know what we’re talking about on every inquiry, and you know who you’re calling.
Are you an ad agency?
No, we’re a video production company. Print, trade-fair builds or classic campaigns are better done with others; video, from the website loop to the ad creative, and social, in turn, we do entirely ourselves. If your project needs something else, we’ll tell you in the first conversation.
Do you also work with NGOs, political or cultural clients?
Our core is Berlin’s mid-sized businesses. We take on cultural and non-profit projects when video and social are genuinely the right tools for them, and when they’re not, we say so in the first conversation. From culture there’s Galerie Friedmann-Hahn, from politics the social media management for BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN Secretary General Pegah Edalatian.
How can I start working with you?
The easiest way is a no-obligation inquiry: in three short steps you describe your goal and starting point, Öykü or Nils reads it and gets back to you with a first assessment. Whether it’s a one-off film or ongoing management, the way in is always a conversation.
