Start with the question, not the format.
Bring us a brief, a question, an event or a partnership idea — including one that is still taking shape. ODD is most useful when the work needs creative and cultural understanding as well as strategy and production.
For work that needs sharp strategy, bold creativity and hands-on execution.
- 01
You have a question but not yet a format.
We can help frame what the work actually needs before deciding whether the answer is an event, a project, a partnership or something else.
- 02
You need cultural credibility and professional delivery in the same project.
ODD works inside creative and cultural contexts, but we also build and deliver work with companies, cities and institutions.
- 03
You need people who don't usually end up in the same room.
Sometimes the value is in creating the right conditions, roles and reason for different expertise to sit around the same table.

ODDagency
For briefs and questions that need cultural understanding, concept development and a project-specific team.
Explore ODDagency →We work across creative practice, business and delivery.
ODD runs its own events and its own space, works with artists and cultural organisations, and delivers work with companies and institutions. We know those worlds from the inside rather than describing them from a distance — and we build the team around the problem instead of around a service catalogue.
What we've built with our partners
A few things from ODDfest 2025 and 2026 that only happened because partners built them with us.
BajaMyArt
At ODDfest 2025 the festival's portable toilets became artworks. Humak's cultural-production students produced it, Lassila & Tikanoja provided the units, and an open call brought in artists, a collective and a community workshop — including a gold-draped shrine people queued for.

ODDfest 2025 Aftermovie
Two days at Lasipalatsikortteli under the theme Chaos & Acceleration, eight stages and a city block full of people — the quickest way to see what the first ODDfest felt like.

Tell us the situation in your own words. You do not need to know which ODD route fits; we can work that out together.
