For me Frankfurt is …

Benedikt: … second home and creative powder keg.

What do you love most about your job?

Timothy: To conjure an emotionally charged Gesamtkunstwerk out of a silent picture.

Where do you get your ideas from?

Benedikt: From the belly and from the heart.

My lunch break …

Benedikt: …preferably a Panang Curry from Heidi.

What trends do you think we will see this year?

Timothy: Communication channels are reinventing themselves, but good craftsmanship remains.

What else can we still learn?

Benedikt: Preferably something new every day.

You should definitely do that in Frankfurt …

Timothy: … go to the Dialogmuseum: shut your eyes and rely on your ears and other senses.
