From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KesselsKramer is an independent advertising agency established by Erik Kessels and Johan Kramer [nl] in 1996. It is based in Amsterdam with offices in London and Los Angeles, and a staff of about fifty.

Tim Clark, writing in Time, called KesselsKramer "legendary and unorthodox".[1] Its notable advertising campaigns have been "The Worst Hotel In The World" for Hans Brinker Budget Hotel in Amsterdam,[2][3][4] and "I Amsterdam" for the city of Amsterdam.[5] KesselsKramer has also worked for brands such as Nike, Levi's,[6] Diageo,[7] and developed the brands citizenM, Ben NL and Bol.com.[8] Among current clients are NEMO Science Museum,[9][10] Van Lanschot, and the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam.[11]

In 2002, KesselsKramer arranged the "other final", a soccer match between Bhutan and Montserrat, and produced a documentary film about this, The Other Final.[12]

The current leadership of KesselsKramer is formed by four partners: Matthijs de Jongh and Dave Bell, who have been partners since 1998, and Gijs van den Berg and Rens de Jonge, who both joined the partnership in 2018.[13]
