In the clients' words

Labs & academies, as the room remembers them.

Workshop group with Grupo Santander Nordics team in Copenhagen and Helsinki

It was really good. Stuff that we are already familiar with, but in a nice clear package that also makes you think things from new angles.

Alejandra facilitating a Mini Lab with Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger teams in Amsterdam

Very insightful. Clear, well organised, structured but with space to think. Helped the team to sit down and focus on one key objective and work from there.

Pepsi Turkey marketing team after a data-driven marketing lab

Very good topics, all the relevant people participated. The road map was perfect to make sure there is a timeline and everyone knows what they will work on in the next weeks.

Virtual Mini Lab with the YNAP Net-a-Porter team, London and Milan

I always appreciate time to reflect, it's hard to do this when we have so much going on. So sessions like these with such compelling and necessary topics like people are very interesting and important.

Chief Growth OfficerYNAP, Net-a-Porter, London / Milan

L’Oréal Poland team at the Advanced Brand Activation Lab

Great case studies and examples. It was very interactive and there was an actual draft plan to take away at the end. It was great to collaborate with the other teams and hear their thoughts.
