We are too busy polishing our Porsches.
Those guys at the court of appeal in Nigeria

Below you'll find the true story about this campaign.
Together with Kees Sterrenburg and Martijn Horvath
Patrick and i did the pitch for the Euro account.
The four of us won the pitch for Publicis.
Kees came up with the winning campaigntheme.
"The Euro is van ons allemaal."
On that theme, a campaign was made by Patrick and me.
We did the first five commercials
and the first zilion ads and posters.
Seen in that light, it is a bit fishy,
that Martijn seems to get most of the credits.
Oh well, he probably needs the credits more than we do. ;-)
We won the SAN Advertisers Award 2001
for the ministerie van SZW.
