In 2009, with offices located in the surroundings
of the Dutch capital, Red Bull Amsterdam wanted
to move to a more urban location that would
better reflect its culture and involvement in the
arts and sports. Let us remember that the Austrian
company goes much further than simply selling
its famous energy drink. Since its beginnings, it
has been involved in racing sports (Formula 1,
NASCAR, motorcycle racing) and has been
massively sponsoring extreme sports, like the
Red Bull Crashed Ice world championship. The
company has also invested a great deal in music,
helping young artists or creating traveling
workshops like the Red Bull Music Academy, and
in dance, particularly with its famous B-Boys
from the Red Bull BC One Battles.

Führungskräfte als Laiendiagnostiker und -therapeuten - angesichts von Depressionen und Burn-out setzt sich dieses Bild in Personalabteilungen und der Weiterbildungsbranche auf leisen Sohlen durch.
Zunehmend dringen psychologische und psychotherapeutische Modelle in den Pflichtenkatalog von Führungskräften ein. Verantwortungsvolle Führung wird heute häufig verknüpft mit „ganzheitlicher“, also umfänglicher Fürsorge für das Wohlbefinden von Mitarbeitenden – als gehorche diese Verknüpfung einem Naturgesetz. Die Kombination mit einer wuchernden Psychologisierung lässt Widerspruch dringend geboten erscheinen. Gerade wenn man dem Pathos der „Demokratisierung der Führung“, des „mündigen“ Mitarbeitenden, des „angestellten“ Entrepreneurs huldigt.
In ihrem neuen Buch warnt Unternehmensberaterin und Coach Regina Mahlmann vor einer weiteren Psychologisierung der Führungsaufgaben. Sie problematisiert die praktischen Zumutungen und grundsätzlichen Grenzen für Führungskräfte und Unternehmen und formuliert Vorschläge, wie diesem Trend Einhalt zu gebieten ist.
Ein provozierendes Buch, das die dringend fällige Kontroverse um verbreitete Zumutungen, Anforderungen und Appelle an Führungskräfte auslösen soll.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

focused on expressing the dichotomy of space, shifting from public
spaces to private ones, from black to white and from white to black.
Our idea was to combine the almost brutal simplicity of an
industrial place with Red Bull’s mystical invitation to perform.
The interior architecture with multiple layers of meaning conveys
this dual personality, reminding the user of mountain cliffs one
moment and skate board ramps the next. These triangle-shaped
piles, as if ripped off the body of a ship, build up semi-open spaces
that can be viewed from below, as niches, or from above, as
bridges and mezzanines across space. In the architecture we offer,

Stratos:
the foreign object
Located in the middle of the working area, a massive architectural object emerges as a symbol of this
architecture of ambiguity. This perforated black metal box interacts with the surrounding space
through its shape, texture and absence of color. Inspired by the shape of the roof, the volume of this
meeting room is like a photo-negative of the building structure itself. It has the mineral texture (caused
by natural and artificial light effects through its perforations) of a meteorite that would have fallen
through the atmosphere and absorbed the spirit of the place where it landed. It is as much a kind of
symbolic extraction from an open space as a tribute to Red Bull Stratos, Felix Baumgartner’s
unprecedented performance consisting in jumping from 120,000 feet to try to achieve the first
supersonic free fall in history.

several hints as structural elements, pieces of furniture and
other artifacts of all types. Thus, the triangle geometry that
shapes the space morphology (from walls to the glass vault,
through industrial trusses across the bays) appears in the resting

24. Wits and company spirit
We did not create this multipurpose space just to express Red Bull’s cultural ambivalence. Our idea was
also to convey the idea of resourcefulness, which is so much part of those that Red Bull supports, who
know how to build a BMX ramp with three little wooden pieces or who change a city into an urban
“parkour”. Red Bull’s interior space was designed in the same spirit: a bench will disappear to give birth
to a storing area; a wall shelf will open like a giant drawer to unveil a wardrobe…
And this ability to adapt to all kinds of situations also reveals itself in a talent for taking over a place.
Any mountain cliff can be an improvised ski run, any banister will become a skateboard rail. We alluded
to this remarkable adaptability by naming the various building areas: “The landing” for the main hall,
“The crashroom” for the resting room, “The dive” for the restaurant…
