These aren’t our clients, they’re our partners. Together we solve complex business problems that move them forward.

With a deep roster of personalities and expertise, chances are you’re going to like at least one of us. 

We don’t hire unicorns because our office isn’t set up for hooved animals. Yet, we consider ourselves magic makers.

We are masters of our respective disciplines. Craft-sexuals who love making and will tolerate talking.

These are exceptional times, and they call for exceptional actions. We are a creative agency that marries technology and zeitgeist;  communication and experiences.

Fast innovation - how to be meaningful at speed? 

FROM ONE-NIGHT-STAND TO COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP - MICHAEL NAP

Interview with Ruurd Neurink, marketing manager Porsche

Startup 'Check' introduces sharing E-scooters

Fabienne Chapot should be the one iconic item in every woman’s wardrobe. Its products are the antidote to Scandinavian fashion and brighten up any occasion worn to. And thus, we believe every woman should have it.


Creating an overall look & feel and shopping experience for the Fabienne Chapot’s women.

From visual identity to photography direction, we created a digital showroom for the brand, giving the space for the iconic patterns to shine. To do so, we balanced a clear design with unexpected details, creating delighting surprises for the user

Fabienne Chapot got famous for its outspoken prints. How do you grow a brand that thrives by exclusivity?

Fabienne Chapot creates items with stand-out prints, but if applied on too many items, you instantly lose the feeling of uniqueness and personality. How do we expand the brand for a bigger audience without becoming too mainstream?

Fabienne Chapot makes sure every woman can have a truly outspoken piece in their wardrobe.

With the rapid changes happening in the world today and ever-increasing customer expectations, the ability to innovate and change quickly has now become a critical competitive advantage. This is where we come in.

And if a business was just one-sided, our search for insight could stop there. But we also believe brands are a more important competitive tool than ever, and innovation-led change needs to be born from them; from their values, positioning and promise. The resulting human-centric experience doesn’t need to just tell the brand story, but it needs to live it, distinctively and memorably.

We believe the best results come when we’re in it together. 

We work closely, collaboratively and across disciplines to solve the hard problems with co-creative workshops and co-located client-agency sprint teams being our methods of choice. We have a passion for craft and a healthy respect for the challenges of implementing it. We have a bias for creativity, speed and action, and a preference for prototypes that let experiments speak louder than ‘power-point’ alone.

Just wanna see the office, or talk some business? We’re fun people.

Reinvent your brand and business through insight-driven design.

With so much of the experience happening on the digital platform it was key to develop a brand that doesn't just live in ads. A digital first identity was developed in parallel with a complete redesign of the digital touchpoints. We've put Catawiki experts front and centre, positioning them as the guardian of their specific categories. User insights and one-to-one user testing throughout the entire process and the close cooperation of the Catawiki and dentsuACHTUNG! teams resulted in a user-friendly and inspiring environment. 

We've introduced a flexible design system, working with color specific object categories, translated seamlessly from print to digital. The window is the most iconic part of our visual identity and invites you to step inside, discover and find the story and objects that reflects you. We also use a distinctive mix between sans serif and serif typography to reflect knowledge and passion, combined with openness and trustworthiness.

Catawiki - Design System Animation

The art direction of photography is true to Catawiki's mission and proposition. It conveys the openness, reliability, expertise and passion that drives the brand. 

Founded in 2008, Catawiki has grown into a worldwide marketplace for special objects. But it’s more than just a place of transaction; at Catawiki, knowledge & passion meet. The current brand and experience didn't reflect that. So Catawiki was looking to bring their brand, communications and experience to the next level. 

Rebranding the biggest online auction platform

We believe identity is not just a visual expression of a brand.

A well-defined brand identity helps you to differentiate from competitors, ensures a consistent experience every time someone interacts with your brand and creates clarity and guidance for future decision making for you and your team. 

As modern brands are experienced across a wide variety of platforms, there comes the challenge of consistency. Our aim when designing an identity is to set the agenda for the whole brand experience throughout the entire customer journey. 

Although we have an approach we tend to follow, our approach is very much modular and will always be tailored towards your needs, your team and your wishes.

One thing always stands: we’re in it together. 

By bringing us in, we will take a seat at your table. For us, that means collective commitment. We’re all in. And so should you be. We believe in working closely and collaboratively. Our whole way of working is based on it through workshops, sprints and even including integrating your team members into our team where helpful.

Create a powerful vision for the future, by defining your brand from the core.

There’s an interesting tension around the use of screens in the average backseat. Parents tend to use screens to keep their kids quiet. But most parents do feel guilty about this, and research has shown that frequent screen exposure decreases kids’ imagination, which can have negative long-term effects. We, therefore, aimed to create an experience that addressed all of these issues: 

01 - decrease screen usage in the car 
02 - stimulate imagination based on your surroundings  
03 - facilitate interaction within the car

Turn ordinary rides into extraordinary stories.

Road Tales are location-based audiobooks that transform ordinary highways into magical tales. Road objects like windmills, bridges and lakes are turned into story elements to create a personalised experience for every ride. The story engine uses custom storylines for every object along the road and turns every car ride into a story.

Location-based audiobooks thatbring the highway to life.

Research shows that 7 out of 10 kids are handed screens during long rides. Road Tales uses a combination of public and curated data sources to create interactive stories for children. Ordinary rides are turned into creative stories through a data-driven story engine. Bringing back liveliness, imagination and interaction to every car ride.

In these exceptional times, brand thinking and communication seem to lose it from functionality and optimization.

We believe that creativity, optimism and courage make the difference in solving brand and business problems.

We create unorthodox campaigns and activations that connect with tomorrow’s customer.

We don't believe in imposing a way of working. But we work together with our clients to find the ideal way.

We create an open kitchen with everyone involved at the table. We do not know any pillarization of creation, strategy or account. 

We maintain short lines of communication with the people who do the actual work. By banishing egos and hierarchy, we prevent "Chinese whispers" and the question behind the question is on the table fastest.

Connect with tomorrow’s customers with unorthodox campaigns.

A large part of the Netherlands suddenly had to start working from home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Exciting times for everyone... but working from home also causes hilarious moments. This inspired us to make a series full of satire about working from home in times of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We developed the series after we had noticed that the consumer needed again some positivity and a smile.

The series was launched on Facebook, Youtube, Instagram and LinkedIn.

We believe that proper content marketing is all about building a long-lasting relationship between brands and the people that matter to them.

Like all relationships, it starts with a shared interest. 

Topics you both like to talk about. We produce super entertaining, informative or inspiring content around those topics so people voluntarily spend their time on it. 

That’s how we get to know them, find out what makes them stick and offer what they are interested in. 

We firmly believe that working together gets you the best results.

Whether it is with our own colleagues, media, PR or lead agency.

That's why being inspired by editorial offices, we can bring together the necessary experts in the editorial team. 

A team that will decide on what content we need to produce to reach our goals. And our makers’ studio, including directors, designers, D.O.P’s and editors, is more than ready to craft grade-A content to get that job done.
