REPORT AMSTERDAM 2016

  • CONNECTIONS has been great for me because in my job I just don’t have enough time to see all the people that I need to see - emerging talents and connected talents. To get a snapshot in one place - from specialists in casting, production, emerging directors, digital and social talents - has been invaluable. Thank you LE BOOK!

    Simon MORRIS
    Global Creative Director |AMAZON

  • It was most valuable for me to speak to these creative partners who are usually ‘hidden’ for us as advertisers. The direct interaction was inspiring – it allowed me to address ideas and challenges in a very efficient manner.

    Peter HAUG
    Marketing Director |BMW

  • What a surprise, getting so inspired in your own city. I have 20 new ideas for my future campaigns. You showed me future/forward thinking. Thanks LOADS!

    Carla EIKENAAR
    Brand Manager |DIAGEO

  • Great showcase reflecting the changing landscape - print, video, new technologies. The word CONNECTIONS says it all - we live in a digital world where things are digested in 2 seconds online and you don’t get that emotional connection, you don’t put faces on the people. This is the kind of moment where you dont just the see the work but you see the people behind the work. It’s a human connection, it’s really important

  • CONNECTIONS AMSTERDAM was time well spent. In the busy life of creatives it's amazing to have all the talent under one roof. Not only does it spark a lot of ideas, it also sparks a ton of conversation with the local creative community. The venue was intimate and the work was beautiful. Can't wait for the next one.
