ADVERTISING WORLD VS WORLD TRIP
With 11 years of experience in the bag, I started as a freelancer. Out of these 11 years of experience I have gained 10 in the advertising world and 1 year on the other side of the world. In 2017 I went traveling for a year and learned just as much as in the 10 years before. In fact, every creative should step out of the "advertising bubble". This has a liberating effect, expand your world view and simply brings you new ideas.
EXPERIENCE
Over 10 years of working as an art director at different ad agencies in Amsterdam have given me a few grey hairs but more important a lot of advertising wisdom. Together with clients like KLM, Centraal Beheer Achmea (insurance), Plus (supermarket), HEMA (retail),
War Child, CliniClowns, Staatsloterij (Lottery) and Kamer van Koophandel (Chamber of Commerce) we have made some smart, touching and successful work.
Work that hit the spot and the spotlight at Cannes Lions, D&ADD and other festivals.
During these years I have developed all kinds of marketing communication skills.
As a young dog I started at Saatchi & Saatchi. Where I got a speed course "Big ideas". Because you needed to deliver award winning ideas on your first day.
As a senior art director at Lemz (later Havas Lemz) I was focused on the "heal the world with creativity business". At other agencies I gained experience in action marketing, digital content and the art of filmmaking.
I did this at Grey, RAPP / Tribal DDB
and Doom & Dickson.
So if you are looking for an experienced creative / art director with a heart for advertising and with Dutch honesty flowing through his veins, look no further.
