Berlin, the city, is one of the most creative places in the world.

The most effective communication has a sense of tension in its DNA. It causes the audience to think twice, or to think harder. Finding those points of tension and teasing out the brilliant bits and the emotional bits and the human bits is what excites them. That's why they are called Berlin.
