Testimonial Erik Verhaest, Director Public Relations Citroën Nederland

 
"Working under the flag of a strong brand is great. There is not much you need to explain to achieve the magical sharpfocus retinal image. And whereas the sharp-focus image of your first love in a Deux Chevaux is quite different from the sharp-focus image of your cigar-smoking father at the one-spoke wheel of a Déesse, both nevertheless sail under the same flag: Citroën. In 1994, Onderneming & Kunst and Brains Unlimited successfully brought to the Beurs van Berlage its hardhitting presentation to an audience of 70,000. The force Onderneming & Kunst displayed arose from its perfect empathy with the brand and its adequate topic selection. Thank you again for this magnificent emballage cadeau!"
