Welcome to Düsseldorf

Meet Phong

Phong is an Creative Campaign Manager at OMD Düsseldorf. He shares what he loves most about remote work and his city Düsseldorf.

"I've been lucky enough to have traveled around a bit in my life and met people who mean a lot to me. But it's not always easy to make time for these friends when they live all over Germany. Mobile working at OMD is a great way to counteract these difficulties! It gives us the freedom to be productive from anywhere - be it the office, at home, on the road or even in another city. Spaceswap makes the whole thing even easier by allowing us to swap apartments and offices with colleagues, which not only saves us money on accommodation, but also allows us to experience the benefits of moving to a different working environment.

Living in Essen, working in Düsseldorf, visiting friends in Berlin and seeing my best friends' kids in Munich would not be so easy without these opportunities!"

Meet Marius

Marius is a project manager at OMG Germany. He shares what he loves about remote work in general and Düsseldorf as a city.

"I am working remote for a month every year in Portugal and I absolutely love it every time! Changing scenery, meeting new people with different backgrounds and going for a little surf after work is what makes it so special. But coming back to Düsseldorf always makes me feel home. Düsseldorf is a big city yet it has this small town charm to it. Beautiful greenery everywhere, great cafés and (japanese) restaurants, great promenade along the Rhine and of course great people makes it the perfect city to live in. You should definitely come over and experience it yourself."
