Heads
Jörg Hofstätter
studied architecture at Studio Zaha Hadid at the University of Applied Arts Vienna while successfully establishing his first online agency with partners (among them Hannes). Jörg founded ovos in 2004 and consistently worked on making it the first choice for digital worlds of experience in Austria.
Just like a satellite, Jörg orbits fairs and lectures, cultivating contacts with scientists, absorbing new ideas and feeding ovos with information and inspiration. He is responsible for ovos’ orientation, strategy, communication and marketing.
Jörg has held lectures at the Vienna University of Technology, at the University of Applied Sciences Hagenberg and at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

Hannes Amon
studied at the University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten, in the field of Telecommunications and Media with a special focus on Media Technology. During his time as a student, he successfully founded his first online agency with partners in 2000 (Jörg was one of his partners already back then). After leaving his first company, Hannes became a partner of ovos in 2006.
Hannes is in charge of ovos’ operating business, supports our clients, looks after our employees, manages product development and even keeps his cool when faced with tight deadlines.

Jochen Kranzer
started turning his passion into a career while studying architecture at the Vienna University of Technology. Using his many identities (a magician in World of Warcraft, a ruler of entire empires in Civilization or a fearless sailor and merchant in Anno 1404) he has been roaming virtual worlds for decades. He has worked with ovos since 2005 and became a partner in 2007.
At ovos, Jochen is responsible for game design and its technical implementation. Both Jochen und ovos are increasingly concentrating on games where players not only win points but gain knowledge.
Jochen is not only at home in real-time 3D worlds, but also knows how to programme these in Quest3D and Unity3D. He also holds lectures at the University of Applied Sciences Hagenberg and at the Vienna University of Technology.
In addition to his work, he is currently attending the master course MediaGameEducation (MedienSpielPädagogik) at the Danube University Krems.
