We are proud to announce that agency XXS Amsterdam is joining Candid Group. Founded in 2007 by Gérard Ghazarian, Candid Group is a platform for media, technology and creative agencies aimed at solving clients' increasingly complex issues. The owners of XXS Amsterdam join as partners of the group.
"The creative and strategic strength of XXS Amsterdam complements Candid Group well," said Gérard Ghazarian. "Candid Group unites the best of both worlds by linking agencies with their own identity to the scale and clout of a network. And that is precisely what is needed to solve our clients' increasingly complex issues. XXS Amsterdam will push the entire group to greater heights."
Piet Hein Smit, founding partner of XXS Amsterdam which was founded in 1998: "From the first conversation with Gérard, we knew that his vision fit seamlessly with our culture and ambition. We were looking for a party where we could maintain our own signature and creative expertise while connecting with other disciplines."
With the accession of XXS Amsterdam, Candid Group is growing into an organization with over 200 employees divided between offices in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. To strengthen the collaboration, XXS Amsterdam will move to the Candid branch in Amsterdam Noord this fall.
