The Edenspiekermann Manifesto

"We regard our work first and foremost as an intellectual process. It may be common practice in our business, but we don’t always want to just show the results of this process (our website does that) but also the thoughts and influences that guide and inspire us. Our attitude towards work, ethics and relationships is condensed in a 7-point manifesto. This attitude doesn’t attract every client under the sun, but we have built some strong and long-lasting relationships with clients who appreciate our dedication and our beliefs."
