Caryaa

Caryaa's valet parking service addresses all the nagging questions that linger in the traveller's mind once you have handed over the keys of their car to the parking attendant.

A web app enables the driver to monitor data like speed, acceleration, exact location, temperature and humidity thanks to a specially developed Whitebox that is installed in the car while the car is being looked after by Caryaa.

You can even keep an eye on your treasure from the edge of the holiday swimming pool sipping an ice-cold Caipirinha safe in the knowledge that upon your return your car will already be waiting for you.

Hamburg School of Ideas

Hamburg’s Texterschmiede has been feeding the German advertising industry with a steady stream of copywriters for years. However, increasingly the cream of these wordsmiths no longer writes headlines and copy for adverts, but have assumed new roles as content strategists in the online world.

This shift is reflected in the new name of what was formerly known as Texterschmiede Hamburg: Hamburg School of Ideas.
