One of the most exciting partnership announcements in the advertising and creative industries this year is the acquisition of Dutch design agency addikt, by India’s largest independent agency, Schbang. addikt has delivered iconic design work for international brands such as Pride Amsterdam, Prada X Armani at Fabrique des Lumières, Rabobank, Autotaalglas, Booking.com and StarSports IPL. This marks a major milestone for Schbang’s 1300-strong team, and a pivotal moment for the industry as the newly formed "addiktSchbang" brings together cutting-edge Indian tech, British storytelling, and Dutch design expertise all under one roof. With the European programmatic advertising market projected to grow to €143.03 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 7.22%, addiktSchbang is poised to harness this expansion and set new standards for the industry. We're excited to see the future unfold for addiktSchbang within Europe’s creative and digital advertising space. #creativeindustrynews #creativeagency #designagency #Amsterdam

This week, Hooton attended the ‘Data x GUT Feeling’ creative collider, organised by ADCN | Club for Creativity and 100 Productions, at Soho House, Amsterdam. The event started with an insightful presentation by our client, Natalia Forster, Managing Director at GUT agency, followed by other industry leaders including @Emmanuel Adjei and Jhelisa Panfred. As the title suggests, the collider’s theme was gut feeling—where it comes from, how and when to trust it, and how it correlates with data (or not). Natalia, Emmanuel, Jhelisa and moderator Alessandro Tomasi participated in a lively panel discussion offering different perspectives and ways of working within the advertising industry. We particularly liked the notion of scaling bravery and making mistakes, to train your inner voice and build your confidence. One step at a time. 💫  

Last week we had the pleasure of holding HexClad Cookware’s Netherlands PR launch, an intimate evening at Keizer Culinair to celebrate innovation in the kitchen. 🥘 Brilliantly hosted by HexClad founder Daniel Winer and chef Daan van der Lecq, journalists had the chance to sharpen up their kitchen skills and test out the HexClad range with an interactive cooking workshop. Learning an innovative twist on the classic Dutch AVG dinner whilst enjoying a beautifully curated seasonal menu and local wine pairing made it a delicious night to be remembered - we can’t wait for the next! 🍾 Huge thank you to our hosts, everyone who joined us, plus our fabulous clients Lily Holden, Leonie Brunnert Rego, David Daniels, and the Hooton dream team for pulling it all together Gemma Cooney, Janhavi Raja, Héloïse Hooton, Mariëtte van der Lee - van der Heide! 📷 Presstigieux

Every day, millions of people with disabilities face innumerous challenges – from broken lifts and missing ramps to stairs, cobblestones and narrow doors, not to mention the everyday prejudices. Prosthetics manufacturer Ottobock's latest campaign shines a light on this reality, reminding us that the toughest discipline isn’t just what we saw in the #Paralympic arena, but in overcoming the barriers that people with disabilities encounter outside of the sporting arena. As we continue to celebrate the after spirit of the Paralympic Games, let’s also take a moment to recognise those who inspire us both on and off the field. This campaign is a tribute to every individual forced to push against societal boundaries to redefine what’s possible. Here’s to championing inclusivity and accessibility in every aspect of our lives. You can learn more about this campaign through the links provided in the comments - thank you Marketing Week and LBBonline - Little Black Book for highlighting this important conversation. #Inspiration #Inclusivity #BreakingBarriers #Paralympics #DisabilityAwareness Ottobock, PRESENCE, International Paralympic Committee
