When I joined Unlike, it was still very much in startup mode. With the small team we managed to more than double the company's revenue, attract major international clients and grow the team substantially. And all of that while adapting to the new way of working the pandemic forced on us. At Unlike, I was responsible for social strategy and advertising for clients like FEBO, Yamaha Music Europe, Zapp, Lebara and Two Chefs Brewing.

At OMG I combined my experience in media with my background in creating content and communication strategies. This job is truly as versatile as it sounds. From developing social media strategies, monitoring and optimizing digital campaigns and developing brand activations to producing short video productions and providing live event social coverage. At OMG I worked on clients like HP, PlayStation, Mitsubishi, bonprix, Ziggo, Universal Pictures and the Dutch government.

After graduating I stayed at TBWA to work as a Community Manager. Within the small social team I got the chance to play a triple-role as creative, account manager and social strategist. By having these different responsibilities we were able to work with our clients in a lean way and keep up with the dynamic social landscape in terms of creation, content and customer service.

Besides my research on communication of awardwinning A-brands on social media, compared to their ATL communication, I was mostly working as a Community Manger. I managed the content, customer service and day to day communication on national brands like LiGA, Pearle, Tempo-Team and Cup-a-Soup. During the course of the internship I also got to work on creating content by doing some basic design work, writing copy and developing social (activation) concepts for brands like Nespresso, adidas and Porsche.

Extra summer internship of about three months within Ogilvy Amsterdam's strategy team. Really diverse projects like doing market research for Ford, campaign reports for American Express, production work on a shoot for Orange Babies and developing the office's newsjacking calendar.

After finishing a successful internship, I accepted a job offer at bone to work part-time (4 days a week) besides my study as a jr. Media Planner. Within the small media department I had many roles which, at bigger agencies, probably would have been divided among multiple departments. This gave me the opportunity to work on performance campaigns, AdWords, handle manual display buying and negotiating with media owners. I had an active role in integrating media in the early stages of the creative process together with the creative teams and got to develop these concepts into feasible campaign (media)strategies.

At bone I took my first steps in the advertising industry and immediately hit the jackpot. I got the chance to make use of the broad range of knowledge and skills I had developed during my study, since bone had both a media and creative department within the agency of about 15 employees. During my internship I worked mainly on within the small media team and quickly got to plan, negotiate & buy digital media and report on my own campaigns for national clients like SNS Bank, de Staatsloterij and de Efteling.
