To brighten the hearts of earthquake-area inhabitants, Richard Batema and I teamed up to create unserious seasonal campaigns. Playful, sometimes a bit silly. With a clear reference to both SIRE and Loesje.
Increase in regional engagement, fuel of empathy, a show of support for a large group that feels left behind. No big gestures. A smile.
Want some creative concepts that bull's-eye the sweet spot? Hire me.
Eva and Wiebe are on a mission: acceleration of transition towards circular economy. Hire them and your ship shall receive a massive jet engine (or a few masts hoisted with enormous sails, to stay in the sustainable metaphor).
For me and the Circular Accelerators it feels like a logical step to work together — we feel some alignment in our poetics around the future for our planet and the next generations.
How does one verbalize such a wide and diverse range of activities in short prose (understandable by all sorts of folk)? Exactly. They called me. It's what I'm good at. I wrote their Manifesto.

Hackathons are useful for a number of reasons: meet interesting and likeminded people, work on cases outside the comfort zone, propel the business involved, and hone your own skills during the process.
At Hacking Health UMCG Groningen, my team was awarded 3rd prize. My idea was simple and effective: a door knob hanger to remind elderly participants in 24h urine collection projects. No smartphone apps, no cloud-based solutions, no tech at all.
Sometimes, low-tech wins.

A rare opportunity for any conceptual creative: the launch of a new brand.
Together with La Compagnie, we were invited by father and son Bruggeman’s company to start with a blank canvas for their 3D printing enterprise Bond3D.
Their proposition is pretty cool: the first 3D-printed material that’s stronger than steel. Very handy on oil drill platforms, or in outer space. No more physical warehousing of spare parts.
We were also asked to get all brand ID connected to a parallel recruiting campaign.
I pitched the central axis Bondabilty, around which all communication of the brand would flow.
The board was overwhelmed by our presentation and hired us the same day.

In the last decade, I’ve worked with a lot of brands and organizations. Most of the time, the stories were already there. They were spread around the floor, waiting to be picked up. I only had to hand them over in the right shape and size. Here’s my added value. Your story. Told. To your customers.
The Artistry of something that did not exist before. Something you could call pure Magic. One moment it was not there… and the next: yes, I thought it up. The foundation of how your brand wants to communicate. And now it can be yours. Hire me.
Before anything reaches someone’s senses, it has to be thought through thoroughly. The concept has to make sense. Every expression — in every channel, on every platform, through every medium. When everything derives from a sound foundation… only then do the brand fans perceive a consistent tone. Something to rely upon. Hire me. This is what I do best.
I’m a kind of Lyrical Alchemist — at the crossroads of artistry and business. What your brand needs to put into words, I’m able to write. What does your brand have to say? Where’s the conversation? My pen and voice are yours to use. So make good use of it. Of me. So to speak. Commercial. Campaigns. Communication. The whole sha-bang!
