OMR Festival

Recruitment & Zeitgeist

Brief

The need to balance OMR's online business and marketing focus with pop culture and art to add a new ZEITGEIST layer to the conference program.

Methodology

Since 2023, Dirk Staudinger has been part of the steering team for the OMR Festival, where he is curating content for talks on current trends and recruiting selected speakers from the worlds of art, fashion, music, and design. He also advises Philipp Westermeyer on topics related to ZEITGEIST and cross-cultural activations.

Part of the collaboration has been a cultural immersion tour to New York for the past three years to meet key players from the ZEITGEIST.
