C&C Contact & Creation GmbH – 36 years of quality and high commitment

Our focus is on selected book projects

The company was founded in 1984 by Gunther Träger. As one of the leading agencies for press and PR in the travel industry, C&C Contact & Creation GmbH provided services for national and international companies and institutions in German-speaking countries. C&C has received numerous awards and awards during its successful 35 years of public relations.

Since 2020, the company has devoted itself primarily to culinary book projects of high quality. The idea is founded on success because customers from all over the world have given the owner and CEO Marianne Salentin-Träger a taste for it. Her many years of expertise in the travel industry flow seamlessly into exceptional book projects. Together with the photographers Markus Bassler and Anja Jahn, the journalist and author Rita Henss, the art director Oliver Hick-Schulz, as well as the culinary experts Marilena Joannides, Franz Keller and Astrid Löwenstein, and the Transfiction translators Jenny Piening and Lucy Jones, she published the culinary travel book Cyprus – A Culinary Journey in English and Russian after two years of intensive and enjoyable cooperation. The German edition was published by Callwey Verlag in Munich. The 336-page work has received seven international awards.
