ADNIGHT 2023: we present to you the Dutch Digital Design route

ADNIGHT is coming. On Friday, 13 October. And - like last year - there will be a Dutch Digital Design route curated by us and some of our partner agencies. Code d'azur, Dentsu Creative, DEPT, Media.Monks and ACE are opening their doors for you - from 18:00 until 23:00. Followed by a fab ADNIGHT afterparty in Paradiso (until 4:00).

Digital design agencies play an essential and indispensable role in today's agency landscape and that of the future.

The world we live in demands a different approach to marketing, advertising and communication. A smooth customer journey is key - through all channels.
