Nothing beats a great smile
19:30 - 20:00

Dutch comedian Theo Maassen once claimed that humor is the highest form of art. As art- directors at Dizain we can (not surprisingly) only fully agree.

Dizain is a producer of ideas and does so for many large and diverse brands. To laugh together is extremely important at our Dizain workplace. Additionally, our humor is often the recipe and a source of inspiration for a good idea, logo or campaign.

In this presentation, we will show you a bunch of hilarious examples which have been incorporated in our work. This can be a nice gadget (a freshly pressed romper) or a funny video which eventually lead to a logo design for the largest health insurer in Friesland. So, if you want to train your laughing muscles, we’ll welcome you with a big smile at the Open Agency Night at Dizain.

Workshop: The power of concepting communication
19:00 - 19:30

A communication concept is a (strategic) vision, based on for instance the promise you make to the world. It is the foundation for all your communication and translates the underlying sense of existence. This underlying sense is often found in the unconscious part of our brain. With a creative translation (which is the communication concept) you bring this sense to life. The creative concept contributes to activating, captivating, and binding target groups. Are you curious to find out how you create such a concept, what it looks like and what its power is? Experience it yourself in this brief workshop with Vonc’s best practices.
