Amsterdam Ad Blog hits the hammock
Friday, April 23rd, 2010Happy holidays!
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
This is Amsterdam Ad Blog’s second X-mas since it was founded in the summer of 2008. 2009 was great year for us and we certainly hope for you too. We grew in terms of content as well as traffic – this of course often goes hand in hand – and we are planing to do the same in 2010. This year we had a redesign and introduced the interview, column and job section. We have some exciting introductions planned for 2010 that should again raise our platform to a higher level, so we’re counting on you to stay tuned in. In any case, we hope you’ve enjoyed reading the blog this year as much as we did writing it. If you have any tips, creative work, comments or anything you want to share with us, keep sending us your mails, so we can enrich and improve Amsterdam Ad Blog constantly. Thanks for reading us and happy holidays to you all! PS Since a part of the Amsterdam Ad Blog team is leaving Amsterdam for the holidays to visit family and recharge the battery, we will be posting less until next year.
Amsterdam Ad Blog introduces ‘Jobs’ page
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009
Since we were getting ‘spammed’ with e-mails from creative professionals from all over the world, telling us that Amsterdam is their church and begging us to recommend them a decent ad agency in Amsterdam to work for, we introduced a new Job section. Twofish, 180 Amsterdam and Achtung! were the first agencies to eagerly accept our very special introduction subscription. So if you’re looking for a job, check out their vacancies! On the job page we also added an expat section with info about Amsterdam news, cultural stuff, blogs, working permits, etc. Any feedback on our new job section is welcome.
Brand NEW design for Amsterdam Ad Blog!
Monday, July 27th, 2009
We are very proud to introduce our new visual identity. It is created by Meneer de Zwart. The reason why we wanted to change our previous logo, is that it looked too much like the city marketing logo of Amsterdam: I Amsterdam. We kept the original colours red and black, because these colours represent the Amsterdam coat of arms. The lettering in the logo is inspired by the Amsterdamse School, an architectural style from the 1920’s that is very dominant throughout Amsterdam. Many bridges still display the Amsterdamse School font. With the new identity we’ve also added two new sections to our blog: interviews and jobs. For the interview section we will ask Amsterdam creatives 9 questions about creativity, advertising and Amsterdam. The job section will display vacancies in the Amsterdam creative industry and give tips for expats that (want to) move to Amsterdam. In the next few weeks we’ll start to upload content to these new sections. And there are still some design changes to be made and technical bugs to be fixed, but we hope you appreciate our new design and would love to hear your comments.
