IDEA | Leading Agencies in Live

About us

We are IDEA, the network of leading Dutch agencies in events, brand activations and experiential marketing.

Since 2002, we have been elevating the world of live to a higher level. We share knowledge, tools and best practices in technology, sustainability and inclusion.

We are a community of thinkers and doers who innovate and experiment. Who inspire and engage new generations.

We connect people and brands with live experiences that last. In the physical world, digital and hybrid.

We believe in experiences that bring together and break through bubbles. Because especially now that technology is changing our lives, moments of personal contact and truly being seen are prerequisites for effective communication.

As leading agencies, we position live communication where it belongs: at the heart of every marketing and communication strategy.
