It seems only right that they get the opportunity to transfer their expertise and enthusiasm to the rest of the organization and to a wider portfolio of clients. We believe in continuously evolving. Pol and Bart are the creative directors of the future, and that’s what DDB and Tribal Amsterdam need to take us forward.”

We are intrigued to be a part of the newly mixed creative floors between DDB and Tribal Amsterdam, further blurring the boundaries between above- and below-the-line work. We’re ready to get our teeth into a broad scope of clients and continue pushing excellent ideas forward – who knows where.”
