Start with the question, not the format.

• 01

  The brief is open and the right format isn’t obvious yet.

  We can help frame what the work actually needs before deciding whether the answer is an event, partnership, programme, campaign or something else.

• 02

  You need cultural understanding and reliable 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 giving people from different disciplines a clear reason, role and setting in which to work together.

ODD runs its own events and its own space, works with artists and cultural organisations, and delivers work with companies and institutions. We build each team around the brief rather than working from a fixed roster.

Examples of what partners have made possible with ODD.

Public art · Humak · Lassila & Tikanoja

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.

Interactive outdoor campaign · RFSU · Outshine · Adventure Club

Just Give a F*ck

Before ODDfest 2025, RFSU, Outshine, Adventure Club and ODD turned a digital outdoor screen in Kamppi into a game you played with your body. Passers-by waved their arms to win festival tickets and merch, and RFSU’s message got its own street corner: using a condom is caring.

Keynote · Humak · Hjelt Foundation

Arthur C. Brooks at ODDfest

We brought Harvard professor and happiness researcher Arthur C. Brooks to Finland for ODDfest 2025: a keynote on the main stage and a smaller conversation with Humak on happiness, meaning and entrepreneurship. Humak and the Hjelt Foundation made the visit possible with us.

Brand activation · Oddlygood

Oddlygood at ODDfest

ODDfest has no standard brand booths, so Oddlygood didn’t bring one. Oddlygood handed out drinks in exchange for ideas on how to recycle better, and Skyproduction filmed the day.

Guest programme · KULTA ry · City of Helsinki

ODD100

A hundred leading voices from Finnish culture in the same room: organisation leaders, decision-makers, journalists, artists and curators. KULTA ry, the central organisation for Finnish culture and arts associations, curated the guest list with us. The City of Helsinki sponsored the tickets in 2025, and ODD100 came back in 2026.
