FAQs

What type of companies do you work with?
I mainly work with B2B, technology and product-driven companies that need experienced marketing support without necessarily adding another full-time role. That can range from growing businesses to established international teams.
Can you support individual projects?
Yes. You do not need an ongoing retainer to work with me. I take on clearly defined projects, focused marketing sprints and longer-term assignments depending on what is needed.
Can you work as part of our existing marketing team?
Absolutely. I can work independently or as an extension of your existing marketing, sales or product team. Depending on the project, I can also coordinate with agencies, designers, developers and other external partners.
Do you also handle execution?
Yes. That is an important part of how I work. I can help shape the strategy, but I am equally comfortable turning it into actual campaigns, content, digital assets, marketing workflows and measurable execution.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. Most projects can be handled fully remotely. I am based in the Netherlands and work with companies across Europe and internationally. For projects where it adds value, on-site meetings or working sessions can also be arranged.
What does a typical engagement cost?
It depends on the scope, complexity and level of involvement. Projects are usually priced as a fixed project, sprint or recurring monthly engagement. After an initial conversation, I can recommend the most practical setup and provide a clear proposal.
