Our CEO facilitated a podcast with Jeff Koons for Philipp Westermeyer (the founder of the largest European marketing festival OMR) in New York.
Our founder Dirk Staudinger brought Jeff Koons, one of the most iconic and influential artists of our time, to Hamburg for the OMR, Europe’s largest international festival for digital business, marketing and innovation.
One year later, Philipp Westermeyer, founder and CEO of OMR, recorded an exclusive podcast conversation with Jeff Koons at Soho House New York. Dirk Staudinger and the Miracle Music Team were invited to join the recording and captured selected close-up video moments from the conversation we are now sharing.
Our Art Collaboration Unit believes that artists bring fresh perspectives and non-linear thinking to every business sector and, as a result, should be much more deeply integrated into companies’ insight and strategy processes and/or given a platform on conference and festival stages.
