To celebrate easter Totems Amsterdam had a wonderful lunch with a lot of bunnies and homemade salads!

That’s how true love can be expressed… on a banana!

At the ADC congress in Berlin Chris had the honour to talk with Richard Pandiscio about “Address Branding”. Richard came up with a real creative revolution where he sells dreams in terms of real estate. It was a real pleasure meeting him, we had a great talk and a fantastic time off stage. If you want to know more about his work, dial www.pandiscio.com.

Once a while students from high school come an join the Totems team to get an insight of what we do. This is called BOGY = Berufsorientierung Gymnasium. It is an ultra short internship. Here Sarah presents her final work: a moodboard for a new bar…

Last weekend the “Besigheimer Studiobühne” won the swabian dialect theatre award, the OSKARLE. Claudia and the others from the “Fröhlicher Weinberg” team are very proud and happy.

On april 1st Chris celebrated his 5th anniversary with Totems. He invited the team for drinks (Altbier and Kölsch) and snacks (After Eight). Happy birthday.

Here we go: May we announce the ultimate leathal weapon? The DÜSSELDORFER PAKT! This is an alliance of the event specialist kogag, the multimedia artist Andree Verleger and Totems. We aim to rock the business with great ideas. The clue is that this alliance can offer the lot. More information soon on the website: www.duesseldorferpakt.com

This time Chris was asked to hold a keynote at the ADC Design seminar at the U5 academy in Munich. He went there with his friend Andreas Schimmelpfenning of .elastique. They both presented very well. Following they supervised the design workshop. The task was to stage a phenomenon. The offspring came up with outstanding ideas. We all loved it.
