Interactive annual report for the consulting and investment house Droege Group

Web DesignCommunication StrategyMotion Design

The Droege Group is a consulting and investment house based in Düsseldorf. Founded in 1988, it now has 70,000 employees worldwide. The family business maintains close ties with art: its collection now comprises over 2,000 works – including pieces by Gerhard Richter, Georg Baselitz and Andy Warhol. Behind this lies the philosophy that engaging with art encourages people to look closely and trains employees' critical perception.

The Task

The brief, as open as it was challenging: an interactive annual report that represents the company's critical and art-loving stance and makes the best possible use of the potential of contemporary media.

The Solution

The result is an unconventional annual report in the form of an interactive film, in which the emotional and engaging communication of content takes centre stage. The heart of the film consists of interview sequences with key figures from the company. Detailed information is available in the form of infographics via the menu.

The Implementation

Based on the content supplied, we develop a storyboard and the design of the interface. Implementation takes place in close collaboration with a film production company. The film is available online, but was also produced as a DVD.
