VATERBLUT GmbH
Service partner
We are VATERBLUT. Creative agency for formative communication based in Berlin. For decades, we have been sharpening brand identities and shaping the world of live communication. Raw. Applied. Contemporary. Provocative. Ironic. Sustainable. We love digital life as much as analogue reality. We love the art of perfect imperfection. We love focussing on the essentials and the creative process. We are neither simple nor minimalist, cryptic or inaccessible. We are VATERBLUT.
At your service: New concepts, technical understanding, editorial depth and a friendly team for the realisation make live communication formative for our partners and customers. VATERBLUT also makes its mark digitally. With our own digital platform for live communication, helloStream, we offer our own event websites with participant management, live streams, video conferences, voting, surveys, live translations, whiteboards and much more.
VATERBLUT makes a lasting impression. As a Sustainable Partner, we have developed our own motivational campaign and guidelines for sustainable events.
Commitment to sustainability
VATERBLUT is an expert in the conception, planning and realisation of environmentally friendly and climate-friendly events. We take sustainability aspects into account in all phases of event organisation. Not dogmatic, always visionary. Always for Mother Earth. Always focussing on the three pillars of sustainability. Fully eco! Fully social! Fully fair!
With our own evaluation tool, which includes checklists for all partners involved in an event, we make sustainable events measurable and analysable. The checklists are integrative, application-orientated and based on the specifications of the Federal Environment Agency and the BMUV. The calculation of CO2 emissions and the recommendation of suitable concepts for CO2 compensation are part of the service. Our checklists and the CO2 calculator from our preferred partner atmosfair can be used free of charge.
