Offenbach's creative agencies, studios and design companies opened their doors and provided insights into their working world, presented current projects and reported on creative processes. Students, graduates and young professionals were able to experience the diversity of Offenbach's creative scene up close, make contacts and be inspired. The event concluded with the networking event "Into the Night" with music, drinks and conversations in a relaxed atmosphere.
What is it all about?
Offenbach's city center stands for a creative attitude to life. Here, cultural diversity and a small-scale, dense and successful creative scene come together in a small space. Innovative products and services, exciting biographies and productive know-how grow here day after day. Since 2016, Into the Wild has been inviting people to gain an insight into the working world and corporate culture of the hosts, to exchange ideas and to network.
The hosts are all from the field of applied design (communication design, web design, product design, architecture, etc.) and describe the diversity of the industry as a whole: from large, established advertising and internet agencies to innovative backyard designers, from talented HfG graduates to design luminaries, everything is included.
Open Studios - how it works
On October 24, various agencies in Offenbach opened their doors to interested visitors from 10:00 to 17:30. The agencies each had a period of around 1.5 hours in which they were able to give 20 to 30 guests an insight into their work, new projects and visions for the future. This created a so-called "behind the scenes" moment, which is rarely possible in everyday life within the industry.
Guests were able to register in advance for the agencies they wanted to visit and put together their own schedule. Participation in this event was and is free of charge.
