Concertgebouw The Study Sessions

Sparking youngsters' interest in classical music

Youngsters rather listen to Boef than Bach. That’s why we offered them a different incentive to visit the National Concert hall and sparked their appetite for Classical music.

With The Study Sessions, we shifted the focus from musical taste, to musical effect. As research shows that classical music gives a well-needed concentration boost while studying, we've invited students to the national concert hall and experience the magical workings of classical music live.

Studeren op je best met een live orkest

In the run up to the exam period, students could open their books and laptops to the peaceful yet surprisingly powerful melodies of live classical music, giving them a huge boost in concentration and performance. This way we introduced the national concert hall and this wonderful music genre to a younger audience adding true value to their lives.

Partnering with the University of Amsterdam and Het Parool helped boosting the awareness for this event. An award winning campaign that tickles youngsters interest into visiting a more ‘classical’ performance in the future.

Who gives a $#✶♡
Building brands the NEEW way.
Why would I spend my precious time and money on it?

We always put people at the centre everything we create and ask ourselves the question: is what we’re creating truly adding value and relevant to them? Would they care to spend their time and money on it?

Is it worth talking about and would I share it with peers?

Whatever we create should be unique, ownable and distinctive. It should be worth talking about and spark conversations or provoke reactions.
It should be worth sharing as ideas people share with peers, need less paid media to become a success.

Is it a star worthy experience?

We always strive to create 5-star experiences (in the broadest sense of the word). Attractive, appealing, relevant, touching and accessible. A positive-review-magnet if you like. Executed to perfection in every touch point and in all media channels.

Why would people love it?

We build brands people love. Make stuff with impact; stuff that touches them. We find what makes them tick and give them what they love. Things they want and need or didn’t yet know they wanted or needed.
