TOGETHER WE ARE ONE...

THE ITALIANS LOVE TO BE BITTEN

BY A SPIDER? WE KNOW! La Notte della Taranta (The Night of the Tarantula) is the biggest festival in Europe dedicated to celebrate ‘La Pizzica Salentina’.

‘Pizzica’ is the music that accompanies the ancient ritual to treat the tarantula bite, the dangerous poisonous spider. According to tradition, to free the victim, usually a woman, people play the tambourine to the beat, incessantly swirling until the spell is finally broken. The official sponsor of Salento’s main summer-time event is Mottura wines. A local brand that steals the show during the festival.

AMIN Italy works for Regina, Manuli, TekMed Aligrup, H3G Mobile and many more.

35% OF THE DUTCH DON’T BUY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS BECAUSE OF THIS MAN

WE KNOW! Sinterklaas is the main character of the annual children’s event, celebrated in the Netherlands on the 5th of December.

Sinterklaas and his helper, ‘Zwarte Piet’, crawl down chimneys to bring presents for the children of the house.

The festival has a considerable effect on the Dutch economy. Shops extend opening hours in the run-up to Sinterklaas and the atmosphere in the shopping streets is fantastic.

In three weeks, consumer spending increases by an enormous 500 million Euros approximately.

AMIN Netherlands works for Roobol Wonen, Euretco, Rabobank, IMCD, Transport & Logistiek Nederland and many more.

AMIN KNOWS HOW TO TRANSLATE LOCAL PUBLIC EVENTS INTO EFFECTIVE RETAIL PROMOTIONS.

...THE SMELL OF GUNPOWDER EXCITES PEOPLE IN VALENCIA? WE KNOW! Three million flame-loving revelers love the smell of gunpowder, the sight of flames makes them smile and they secretly harbour pyrotechnic urges during Las Fallas. This is undoubtedly one of the most unique and craziest festivals in Spain. What started as a feast day for St. Joseph has evolved into a five-day celebration of fire. In Valencian Las Fallas literally means ‘the fires’. The focus of the fiesta is the creation and destruction of burning cardboard monuments and paper-maché statues. The idea is to burn the old period to start up the new. It attracts 1,000,000 tourists and brings Valencia an income of 750 million Euros.

AMIN KNOWS HOW TO REACH THREE MILLION PEOPLE IN ONLY FIVE DAYS.

AMIN Spain works for Val Venosta apples, Amstel Beer, Decathlon, Valencia Tourism OfďŹ ce, Carrefour and many more.

...BELGIANS TAKE THEIR GLASSWARE AS SERIOUSLY AS THEIR BEERS?

WE KNOW! Belgium is home to more than a thousand different varieties of beer produced by 178 different breweries. They don’t just make beer, they put their heart and livelihood into each recipe.

Beer lovers throughout the world drink about 1,100 million litres a year. Belgians also take glassware as seriously as they take their beers. In fact, glassware was invented before the actual beer itself. Most Belgian beers come with their own glass that has been specially designed for the drinker to experience the full flavour and aroma of the beer. Beer in Belgium is big business. The sector generates around 62,000 jobs.

AMIN Belgium works for Mitsubishi Motors, Brussels Airport, Chevrolet Belux, Akzo Nobel, Fost Plus and many more.

AMIN KNOWS THE EFFECT OF NATIONAL PRODUCTS ON LOCAL BEHAVIOUR.

...THE POLISH SOMETHIMES STRUGGLE TO KEEP THEIR BALANCE WE KNOW! One of Poland’s most famous, and remarkable, shopping complexes is the ‘Crooked House’. Seeing the building it looks like you’ve drunk too much. But appearances are deceptive. The architects decided to do away with traditional straight lines in favour of rather more mindboggling geometry. The building is the most photographed architecture in Poland.

AMIN Poland works for Saint Gobain Building Materials, SCA Hygiene Products, Mars, Kimberly Clark, Tesco Retail and many more.

AMIN KNOWS THE MOST EYE CATCHING HOTSPOTS IN EVERY COUNTRY.

...THE SWISS TEST THE ENDURANCE OF ITS CIVILIANS?

WE KNOW! The Patrouille des Glaciers is a ski mountaineering race organised every two years by the Swiss Army, in which military and civilian teams compete. It takes place at the end of April in the Alps. Its military origins date back to the Second World War, when the army organised a race to test the abilities of its soldiers. It’s a big media event that attracts a lot of adventure brands.

AMIN Switzerland works for Metropole Lausanne Shopping Mall, Caterpillar, Terravin Swiss wine, Terre des Hommes, Audemars Piguet and many more.
