Yes, it’s true! KEY will soon be leaving its Amsterdam landmark office ‘Gemeenlandshuis’. Why would we want to leave this beautiful office after 19 years? A historic building that has helped The KEY Agency become recognized as an agency that clearly stands out in the Amsterdam area. Well, we don’t really want to but we don’t have much of a choice. The building dates back to 1726 and is in desperate need of renovation. A renovation that is too extensive to take place as long as we reside in the building. Therefore, the owners of the building – Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser, the historic houses association of The Netherlands – has stopped doing maintenance on the building and has requested us to look for new office space.
As it happens, there is opportunity in this situation. Internet and digital media have become more and more important in marketing and communication. The KEY Agency develops along with the continuing shift from conventional media towards a cross-media playing field. We are determined to continue to invest in the required knowledge and technology. The remote location of the ‘Gemeenlandshuis’ and the relatively outdated and very vulnerable telecommunications infrastructure are hardly the best foundation for our future development.
The ideal location would be a perfect fit with the growth and development that KEY has known over the past couple of years. And it would have to be the perfect base from where to support our customers with all aspects of their communications.
And we have found it. The ideal location is at Vision Plaza, een striking modern office building in Park Schiphol-Rijk. The building and its environment breathe the quality vision of area development company Chipshol. Chipshol has consistently worked to make this vision a reality, and for 20 years we have helped them advertise the superior and stimulating working environment dominated by green and water in a beautiful landscaping. The time has come for us to get our inspiration there ourselves!
As of 2 January, 2012, our address will be:
Boeingavenue 252, 1119 PZ Schiphol-Rijk, The Netherlands
On this blog, we will continue to inform you of the progress of our move to Vision Plaza. Of course, we will also use it to share new developments and opportunities in the fields of marketing and communications, that we think you may be interested in.
