  • Wittkamp Communicatie
    Floriculture Marketing Strategist
    Wittkamp Communicatie Jan 2017 - Dec 2020
    Amsterdam Area, Netherlands
    Due to the design of the industry, management is not well aware of the strength and effectiveness of proper (strategic) marketing in the flower industry. Often it is not clear who the actual customer is. And what his or her needs are. There's no 'why'. And a clear strategy on the board level is missing 95% of the time.I change that in a way so effective and measurable ROI is achieved.
  • Farm Direct Flowers
    Marketing Consultant (Extern)
    Farm Direct Flowers Sep 2018 - Dec 2019
    Aalsmeer
    I developed (with the guys of Farm Direct) the marcom, and increased brand equity of a brand that now stands out. It is not so difficult to be different, and remarkable, in a market of commodities.
  • Florachain
    Advisor To The Board
    Florachain May 2018 - Dec 2019
    Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
    As a blockchain and crypto enthusiast, and of course, my experiences in the flower industry as a florist, wholesaler, and marketeer, this was a perfect fit for me. The possibility of using blockchain technology in the floriculture industry.... wow! 2b continued!

    Parfum Flower Company Jun 2014 - Sep 2019

  • Green Team Consultancy+
    Associate Partner
    Green Team Consultancy+ Jul 2018 - Jan 2019

  • Damasque
    Brand Strategist (Part-Time)
    Damasque Oct 2015 - Dec 2017
    Amsterdam En Omgeving, Nederland
    Damasque was intended to be a new international luxury brand in the same club as Chanel, Prada, Dior and Louis Vuitton. At the heart of Damasque is the promise of overwhelming sensual pleasure and the reckless seductive abandon that only the best flowers and florists can deliver. An enchanting world made up of stunning displays, visual excitement, dazzling colors, intoxicating perfume, the softest and silkiest of touches….But,... consumer-branded flowers are not so easy, one needs deep… Show more Damasque was intended to be a new international luxury brand in the same club as Chanel, Prada, Dior and Louis Vuitton.

  • Bloomly
    Consultant
    Bloomly Jan 2013 - Jul 2014
    Amsterdam En Omgeving, Nederland
    Bloomly was my first step into the (non-existing!) marketing world of the flower industry. Together with my business partner, we did some great projects, of which some weren't very easy at the time. I am very proud of the fact, that already back then, we laid the foundation of many still existing, and very successful marketing initiatives.
  • Van Dijk Bloemen B.V.
    Sales And Marketing Manager
    Van Dijk Bloemen B.V. Sep 2013 - Jun 2014
    Aalsmeer, North Holland, Netherlands
    I guess I was the first (at wholesaler-level) in the industry to start sending out regular newsletters in 3 languages. This was very successful and attracted many new weekly customers. I did a lot of copy-writing, and seo for website of the company and was co-creator of their new brand for imported roses, 'colors of import'.

    Shop Manager
    Flowershop Ivy Oct 2006 - Mar 2009

    Working as a shop manager at one of the most luxurious flower shop in the world was not only a lot of fun to do, but it was also very challenging, as the owner always asked for more and better.
  • Waterdrinker Aalsmeer B.V.
    Order Specialist
    Waterdrinker Aalsmeer B.V. Nov 2005 - Oct 2006
    Aalsmeer, North Holland Province, Netherlands
    First time for me to wake up really early, and doing as being told.....Learned all plants really quickly though, and that "I say what I do, and I do as I say" is very important in the flower industry.

    Owner And 'Lead Floral Designer'
    Zen Flower Company May 2000 - Oct 2005

  • Floating Flower Market Amsterdam
    Having Fun At The Floating Flower Market
