WHAT’S IT LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER?
Don’t take my word for it.
A list of services ↗ tells you what I offer. The people I’ve worked with can tell you what it’s like when I roll up my sleeves.
Taking responsibility and delivering
“I have had several occasions to work with Maarten and each and every time he delivered high quality results within the set deadlines, often exceeding expectations. His profound experience and knowledge as well as target oriented attitude brought each time new records for the projects he supported us with. He could always bring new ideas and advise on different situations. He is always up to date with the newest trends in his work area. Maarten is an excellent professional I can trust and can definitely recommend! ”
Vera Zajeca, Communications Team Leader at EU Agency for Support for BEREC
“If you need a reliable, creative and a solid communicator, Maarten is your guy. He was helping us shaping social media communication during our flagship event. Up with ideas and enriching our organic communication, he was working independently and delivering on time on the quality content. Thanks Maarten.”
Łukasz Kunka, Digital Communication Officer European Commission
“Thorough insight into digital business combined with an efficient hands-on approach, that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Maarten. I spent 7 years as a colleague at Humo, where for several years he was my direct report for all things digital innovation. Maarten was on the front row when common sense was handed out, but above all is powerful in digital project management, he works till it works. And it certainly is no disadvantage that he is a restful and loyal fellow man.”
Chantal Janssens, Publisher HUMO
“I worked with Maarten on two very different assignments. Maarten keeps the overview and keeps the goals in sight. Critical, but encouraging. Pleasant cooperation, professional and to the point.”
Lies Cattersel, Freelance copywriter, content creator & storyteller
Working with people
“Working with Maarten is a real pleasure. He knows what he’s talking about. If you need help on your digital strategy, website, social media management,…: he’s the guy you need. He’s an expert in his field and combines this with excellent people management skills.”
Ilse Nollet, Head of Communications Greenpeace Belgium
“Maarten has shown great added value within a short period of time within our company, both in the area of marketing through social media, extensive briefings and analysis of campaigns, and in transferring social media skills to our entire team. Always with clear communication, which I love. On top of that quickly creating the necessary graphic material that was still missing, shooting a video and editing it? It all turns out to be no problem.
It is exceptional that one can mean so much in so short a time on many fronts and at the same time. High level! A virtue to work with.”Greet Meert & Winok Seresia, Owners Kapitein Winokio
“I have known Maarten for over 10 years as a reliable colleague who has developed Humo online as a digital wizard, and who, as a people manager, enthusiastically steered his team – and was never afraid of changes and turbulences.”
Jörgen Oosterwaal, Editor-in-chief & Creative director HUMO & De Morgen
“Our collaboration with Maarten ensures greater digital awareness within our organization. He developed strategies that help us to take big steps forward in the digital world. In addition, Maarten thinks along with the organization, keeps an overview in all circumstances and provides solutions.”
Raffi Aghekian, Director at Human(art)istic Festival
Ideas brought to life
It was really very pleasant to work with Maarten, he understood exactly what we were looking for. We produced several campaigns, strong in content, with a good rhythm, and inspiring for an audience of young people in Brussels.
Maya Galle, Communication Coordinator at ART2WORK
“’We use ‘content’ to increase the relevance of our relationships with customers and stakeholders’, you often hear. More often, execution turns out to be a difficulty.
Maarten has years of experience as a digital content creator and producer. He knows how to manage people, think up concepts, set the tone, manage the visual aspect, get results and keep costs under control. Humor and creativity always come into play.”Bénédicte Lobelle, Business development manager at Sanoma Media Belgium
“Proactive and creative is what comes to mind when I think about Maarten. Above all Maarten has a nose for the newest digital trends and how to engage the online audience. I can only recommend working with him.”
Tessa Vilyn, Head of Communications at Red Bull Belgium
“I have forgotten whether or not it is Maarten who invented the Internet. The fact of the matter is that they know each other as well as a couple celebrating their golden wedding.”
Sam De Graeve, Crossmedia Publisher at Borgerhoff & Lamberigts
Good work is something we do together.
Good projects depend on more than an idea or a plan. They depend on people making decisions, sharing expertise and doing the work together. If that’s how you like to work too, we should talk.
