Media Catalyst is an Amsterdam-based digital agency with international clients, a melting pot of employees from around the world, and a close relationship with their clients and associates.

With the holiday season coming up, they wanted to give their contacts a special gift that would reflect their local and global DNA. My answer - a christmas gift box containing a grand Speculaaspop(a Dutch gingerbread figure). Traditionally, this cookie is decorated and left at the doorstep of the person you wish to court.

Copy:
Though this may seem like a strange token of affection,
the gingerbread man inside this box has romantic powers;
according to Dutch tradition, the giving and receiving of a 'speculaaspop'
 seals the relationship between two lovers.
Dont worry, Media Catalyst doesn't want to marry you,
but we do want to let you know that we like you very much
and look forward to continuing our relationship with you in the future.
