Holland Branding

A short while ago we created a so called Brand Book (a Silver Box with three books in it... and a Miffy) for the Branding of Holland. This was part of a larger Nation Branding Project we are working on for the Dutch government.

We created a mainly visual Brand Book and it's used as a starting point and source of inspiration by the Dutch government and other Dutch organizations. We worked on this project together with Nation Branding specialist Simon Anholt. Especially because we were aloud to tell an emotional story using images and narratives.

Take a look at:

"... and the Dutch created Holland"

The Water Board: 'Building Relationships'

The Water Board (Waterschap Vallei & Eem) is a public organization and provides the Dutch with a very important service: They take care of all the water. And since half of the Netherlands lies below sea-level their work is vital to the country.

DesignThinkers is developing new ways and a new language for The Water Board to build relationships with it's end-users and making their services more visible to the general public.

See the Campaign 'Het Waterschap is hier'

We develop Service Design Thinking Strategy and Marketing Campaigns, build Communities and Design Innovative products and services.

Design Thinking is the glue between all disciplines.

DT is a co-operative organisation existing of several Associates.

New Realities, New Tools, New Marketing.

Stop treating service as a commodity. It's time for a new industrial revolution. The service revolution.

Just like the other two industrial revolutions, it is going to change the way we work, live, and educate our children.

An ongoing conversation and feeling of co-ownership is the key to a succesfull relationship between service provider and end-user.

Empowerment of the customer is making strong brands vulnerable.
