About
Hackatrain is a hackathon on a train. A hackathon not only for developers, but also for data scientists, designers and marketers, because a good idea has to be built, designed and marketed. Tech-minded talents participating in the Hackatrain event brainstorm together to stir up new ideas on their commute to a tech conference abroad. Once arrived at their destination, they move to a co-working space and they have 24 hours to develop the software or app they invented along the way.

Our work
Hackatrain is one of our very own productions. We first imagined the potential of a train-based hackathon in 2014. In the summer 2015 we put the hackatrain idea into action, bringing a new concept and creative people to one of the coolest festivals in Europe: Tech Open Air Berlin. Since then Hackatrain became a living brand, a community where you can connect with peers, share your ideas, learn from each other and help one grow. Something unique you would like to be part of.

Our mission
Our mission is to connect young tech-minded talents, aged 18 – 35 years, to innovative companies with the aim to help taking their business to the next level. Our network provides you with access to the top talent from the best developers to data scientists, UX/UI designers or great marketers, due to our collaboration with Universities.

About
Yummya is a festival about street food, which seperates itself from others by adding a theme to the festivities. The 4-day festival features tastings from the best food trucks in the capital Amsterdam, giving their crowd a high quality food experience.

Our work
It began with a brief to create a new street food experience at an unusual location: the Jaap Eden ice skating rink, Amsterdam’s largest and best-known ice skating center. We provided full support, developing a creative concept, liaising directly with suppliers and stakeholders to eliminate bottlenecks and to ensure all requirements were met. Then working backwards to make sure the logistics of the event run smoothly.

Result
We developed a story around the theme ‘guilty pleasures’, based on the novel ‘Adam and Eve’. The seduction of food was pertinent to this event all the way through. We divided the festival area into four worlds: Adam’s Apple, Eve’s Kiss, Eden and Forbidden Fruits to bring the theme more to life. The effect of this playful approach resulted in lots of media attention.

About
Wasteland is Europe’s biggest fetish event in Amsterdam and Berlin. In the year 1994 Wasteland brought Fetishism out of the darkness of the underground and mixed it with electronic music and spectacular, often innovating, entertainment.

Our work
We are responsible for booking DJ’s and creating a long-term programming strategy.

Result
For variation’s sake we made some changes to Wasteland’s music format. In addition to arranging only house music DJ’s, we decided to fill the separate rooms with different types of electronic music which are popular nowadays, like techno and disco. For the consistency we kept the Main Stage – where house music rules – the same. We booked national and international DJ’s like Carlos Valdes, Hollywood & Vine, Eluize, Doppelgang, Spencer Parker, Benny Rodrigues and many more.

About
ANWB annually awards the title Campsite of the Year to campsites that offer the best facilities and innovations in their sector at European level in six different categories, like campsite with the most beautiful rental accommodation or the best campsite for families with teenagers.

Our Work
We delivered full creative and production for the ANWB Camping Awards. We set the feel and mood for the award ceremony by selecting the right dress code, location, high quality catering, entertainment, speakers, and decorations, all tailored at achieving one goal: giving the winners ánd also the non-winners an experience they will never forget.

Result
We developed a story around the theme ‘The Love Boat’ and merged it with the content about the campsites. We transformed the Polar room at Jaarbeurs Media Plaza into a nautical experience to remember. Guests were greeted on gangway entrance by sailors. Upon registration guests were treated to prosecco and a selection canapés on the main deck. There was a wow moment when Lucia Marthas students opened the ceremony with a vocal flash mob. The main space was decorated in the style of a cruiseship dining area. Guests were treated to a delicious three course meal, with delicious wines. Entertainment consisted of animated videos to announce the nominated campsites and professional dance shows with themed dancers.
