45 years of MetaDesign

As we reflect on 45 extraordinary years at MetaDesign, we find ourselves filled with a distinctive sense of pride and gratitude. This milestone is not just a measure of time, but a testament to the collective energy, vision, and passion that have shaped us into a global leader in branding, strategy, and experience design.

Our story is a rich tapestry woven from the creativity and dedication of countless talented individuals who have walked through our doors. Whether they were with us for a season or decades, each one has left an indelible mark on the MetaDesign legacy. As we look back, it is clear that our strength lies not only in the quality of the work we produce but also in the community we’ve built—a community that transcends time and geography, encompassing both our current team and the remarkable alumni who have played vital roles in our evolution.

The M45 Event: A Night of Nostalgia, Laughter, and Inspiration

This spirit of connection and belonging was at the heart of our M45 event, which took place last Thursday at our beloved MetaHaus in Berlin. The evening brought together both past and present MetaDesigners, as well as valued clients, to celebrate not only the company's legacy but also the personal stories and memories that have defined our journey.

The atmosphere at MetaHaus was electric—a palpable sense of nostalgia mixed with excitement for the future. As we walked through the space, it was impossible not to be swept up in the laughter, conversations, and shared experiences that echoed through the halls. Familiar faces from different eras reunited, reminding us that no matter how much time has passed, the bonds we share remain strong.

The M45 event was more than just a celebration; it was a reunion of minds, hearts, and ideas. Alumni shared stories of their time at MetaDesign, reflecting on projects that challenged them, inspired them, and ultimately shaped their careers. Many recounted how the collaborative culture and high standards at MetaDesign propelled them to new heights in their professional journeys. Current team members, in turn, were able to draw from these stories, finding inspiration in the legacy they are now continuing to build.
