KesselsKramer founded in 1996, Amsterdam , by Erik Kessels and Johan Kramer Since 1996 Erik Kessels is creative director of KesselsKramer, an international advertising and communication agency. At this moment, around 36 people work at their office, a former church on the Lauriergracht. Half of them are Dutch, the other half have roots in China, Germany, Spain, Turkey, Scotland, England, Sweden and the United States. Kessels gained international success with campaigns for Absolut Wodka, The Hans Brinker Budget Hotel, Lipton Ice Tea, Ben, Bol.com, 55DSL and Diesel. He is seen as one of the most original creatives in the international advertisement scene. Part of his philosophy is crossing borders between art and advertisement. He asks artists for campaigns and moves around different areas himself. Recently he curated the exhibition ‘Confrontation’ which was shown in Institut Néerlandais Paris and FOAM, edited the books ‘In Almost Every Picture’ and was asked by Magnum Photos to edit and curate the book and exhibition ‘Magnum sees Piemonte’.
