May we have your votes please?!

On September 25, 2008 we proudly presented the second edition of The Naked Poodle! Once again our creative box ring was located at Picnic. The pressure cooker with new outrageous subjects. Eight teams, representing the most creative agencies in our industry, battled live at the Machinegebouw at the Westergasterrein in Amsterdam. Challenged and interrupted by the experts. Cheered and mocked by you!

In the true spirit of The Naked Poodle, we leave the power to the people! So please give us your vote!

What is The Naked Poodle?

In two rounds eight creative teams challenge each other to conquer a pressing social issue. Meanwhile they are aided, agitated, rushed, confronted, interrogated and challenged by three influentials. These renown writers, designers, directors, architects and other gurus barge through the mosh pit from one team to the other. Big Brother cameras record the teams' efforts and instantly send their images to the large screens in the "Machinegebouw", bringing the pressure to a boiling point. After exactly 30 minutes the computers shut down and all the work is automatically turned in. The exhausted participants are then carried out of the ring to be replaced by four new and fresh teams. Through an online voting system the winners are determined by the crowds, in the days following The Naked Poodle.

Why the title The Naked Poodle?

It has been derived from the Dutch 'Poedelnaakt' which means 'naked as a poodle', and is said when someone is bare naked. In this case, we refer to the fact that you can see how people work, how they make decisions, how they think. You can witness the birth of new ideas, uncensored. You can see creative minds at work when they're the most vulnerable, naked.
