ABOUT

We are Gijs Sluijters and Joris Tol, creative directors at DentsuACHTUNG! Amsterdam.
This portfolio contains a rough selection of projects we’ve done over the years at Ogilvy, DDB & Tribal, INDIE, Famous Brussels and FHV/BBDO.

We believe it's harder than ever to keep someone's attention for longer than a split second. 
That's why we like to think differently and jump into uncharted waters to find new ways of doing things and telling stories. 
A good idea can be executed in all kinds of media. That's why we prefer to work across multiple disciplines and channels. 

As graduates from the Willem the Kooning Academy, we started out in advertising in 2008. 2 years later we won a Gold Lion with 'Mars Messages'. In 2013, we made 'Volkswagen Dog', the 2nd most viewed ad on Youtube in the Netherlands. And in 2021, our 'Volvo Lifesaver' initiative helped making Ogilvy Amsterdam Most Awarded Agency in the Netherlands at Cannes Lions.

Over the years our work has been recognised by D&AD, Cannes Lions, Eurobest, FWA, Young Guns and Dutch ADCN among others. Our work is featured by major press titles such as Contagious, Fast Company, Huffington Post, The Drum, Little Black Book, Creativity Online, Frame Magazine, Adweek and many more.
