Founder Story /  The media agency of the future by Captains, Digital Media & Creative Production Agency

How can brand values be translated to a story that everybody would like to hear?

 

The Swedish Chamber of Commerce, Epicenter Amsterdam and Captains are very pleased to welcome the members of the Swedish Chamber and the Epicenter Community members to an inspirational Lunch talk about how brand values can be translated to a story that everybody would like to hear. The combination between journalism and marketing resulted in a cooperation between two young entrepreneurs sharing the same vision only 4 years ago. An adventure with loads of struggles, hard work and lucky moments. Now, located in the beautiful old train station of Delft, 30 content professionals work every day for amazing clients.

Digital Media & Creative Production Agency
Swedish Chamber of Commerce Patron Member Captains is a contemporary translation of a digital media & creative production agency. With production and distribution under one roof; makers and marketeers at the drawing table of each project. A full focus on storytelling, because ordinary commercials and random Facebook-posts can be created by any other agency.
