Here are some words written by respected industry leaders about myself and my creative partner as we freelanced around London:
“Ruud and Stefan are a great creative team; they are strong conceptually and able to execute their ideas to constantly high standard. They worked on a variety of challenging briefs and repeatedly came back with smart, creative, culturally relevant solutions. They present work well, are good client facing creatives and worked well within the wider creative department (and with Account/Planning/Production). They are also very hands on within the complexities of the production phase, on set and through to overseeing multiple assets into post production.”
- STEPHEN HANCOCK: ECD TBWA\MEDIA ARTS Lab (Ex Nike)
"The golden triangle for creatives is: hardworking, talented and nice. You’d usually settle for two of these but with Ruud and Stef you get all three."
- Aidan McClure: CCO Wonderhood Studios (Ex Adam&EveDDB, Mother)
“Stef and Ruud are super smart, multi-talented creative thinkers and doers. They can turn around briefs on their own and collaborate with an ego-free attitude that leads to great work every time. Really humble yet bright they’ll make any agency zing. I really enjoyed working with them.”
- MIKE NICHOLSON: ECD BRAVE (Ex AMVbbdo, TBWA)
