The power of simplicity
Bord&Stift believes in the power and beauty of simplicity. With our whiteboard films we make a complex world understandable for everyone.
Horizontally organised
To be as effective as possible, we’re organized horizontally. This means that everyone at Bord&Stift is equal and has the freedom to fully develop their ideas.
A transparent world
Through both the films we make and the way we organize ourselves, we hope to make the world a little more beautiful and a lot more transparent.
