Brandbook sponsoring the ADC Summit 2010

Creativity, ideas and inspiration at it ist best: the ADC (Art Directos Club) summit in Frankfurt was the place to be for everybody working in the advertising industry. This successful event - a cross between contest, congress and exhibition - brought the entire advertising industry to Frankfurt. A thank you to the organzisers for an excellent summit. The exhibition halls were buzzing with activity and in the center of the spacious 11.000 square meter convention center, Brandbook (a sponsor of the ADC), had its own trade booth.

A thank you to all the numerous visitors who stopped by. We met lots of interesting contacts and are looking forward to exciting projects and cooperations. In particular, we are very happy about the overwhelming feedback and acknowledement from the ADC Team, the congress staff and jury members, in response to the precious ADC notebooks which we sponsored. These were made from first-class leather fibre and finest paper designed and produced exclusively for this year's ADC Summit. A further highlight was a laser-engraver at our booth. Every ADC Brandbook owner was offered a personalized cover.

The Notebook Artist Michaela von Aichberger

Just click upon one of the photos to see a little making off!

Follow me – and I portray you!
According to this mission the twitter-artist @frauenfuss alias Michaela von Aichberger gives her „followers“ a face in the web and publishes the pictures on Twitpic. In the process she lets herself become inspired by the nicknames and the twitterings of the users. There are already more than 200 drawings in her notebooks (which are latterly from brandbook.de, of course). And recently even overseas they all twitter about Michaela.
