A BUTTERFLY IN MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS.

Are you looking for an all-round freelancer in marketing and communication with international work experience? Then you’ve come to the right place!

I am an experienced interim marketing communications manager with a broad background and managerial experience. Because of my background at advertising/media agencies, (international) companies and marketing departments, I know how to successfully manage projects from strategy to actual roll-out.

My strengths
I am a social person, hands on with a lot of professional knowledge. As a people manager, I know how to get the best out of others. Especially in international companies, this is often an extra challenge because of the different cultures, which suits me well. I love taking on new projects and making them successful.

See my portfolio, or check my LinkedIn profile, for an impression of what I can do.

About me

HOW I WORK AS A FREELANCER.

I always fulfill a temporary role within the marketing communications department of an organization. As an interim marketing manager, marketing director or campaign manager for example.

Usually, I work 32 hours per week. Depending on the office location (partly) remote. The duration varies per assignment. Sometimes it is a few months, but it is also extended sometimes.

My rate is between 100 to 125 euros per hour, depending on the work and duration of the assignment.

Nice to know: 
I was also a Scrum Master so I still regularly use techniques I learned at meetings or brainstorms to keep the energy high.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Irene Heldens – CBR
Manager Communication & Marketing

“Janet brought great energy and enthusiasm to the communications assignment at the Professional Transport Division of the CBR. She quickly mastered the complex subject matter of the division and got to work effectively and successfully. She kept her cool and brought a fresh perspective that led to innovation. I have come to know her as a true communication professional. She was also a valuable team member who made significant contributions. I would definitely approach her again for an assignment.”

Sam Mirson – ATOSS
Marketing Strategy

“Janet was a valued team member during the year we worked together.

I appreciate her great capacity to get things done – she is a true “doer”. She’s also naturally curious (one of the most important traits of any marketer) which made her understand the customer and execute customer-centric marketing.

Janet always brings ideas, a big smile, win-as-team-spirit and results. Needless to say, she has my recommendation.”

Rick Klein Velthuis – Zilveren Kruis
Brand Marketeer

“I have worked with Janet for about one and a half year and in that time I got to know her as a nice colleague you can always rely on. At Zilveren Kruis we had a challenging branding project with many different stakeholders and perspectives; a sharpened brand positioning with a new visual identity and at the same time a major technical adjustment to the website.

Janet always had the overview, knew exactly what had to be done on a project and content level. She is a good sparring partner, knows how to put things into perspective and is also a pleasant personality.”

Marieke van Wandelen – Audax Groep
Hoofd Marketing en Communicatie

Professional, decisive and precise. With these characteristic features, Janet has given substance to the complex assignment we had for her. She helped us to streamline the marketing plans and offers for the various formulas into one fully elaborated whole. It is very nice that Janet has always been one step ahead of me when it comes to preparations and progress. In addition, Janet is just a very pleasant person who brings a lot of fun.

Natalie Bierman – KEGA
Senior Account Manager

“During an incredibly busy period at KEGA, Janet took a lot of work off our hands and helped create structure. On coming in, Janet found it easy to connect with everyone in the team. She knows how to get things done and simply goes for it! It was really great to have Janet working alongside you during such a busy time.”

Rene Geldermans – Canon Benelux
Marketing Manager

“I have had the pleasure of working with Janet for over 2 years and got to know her as a very dedicated and hardworking project manager. She has the skills to combine strategic insights and operational tactics, leading to the successful implementation of complex projects, whilst managing and motivating virtual teams.

Janet knows when to ask for feedback from relevant stakeholders to drive projects further and to ensure the required buy-in. She is always looking for new ways of doing things and has strong knowledge of both the offline and online channels.

Her openmindedness and optimism make it a great pleasure to work with Janet.”

Jan Regelmeijer – Canon Nederland
Senior Channel Business Developer

“Janet is very dedicated towards her job and combines proper project management skills with great interpersonal skills. She has brought the promotional planning and execution to a higher level at Canon CIG. Janet is a go getter and also a pleasant and reliable colleague to work with”

Tom Collingridge – Freelance copywriter

” I’ve had the pleasure of working with Janet on various projects in recent years. She has all the things you want from an account manager: she’s intelligent, efficient, cool in a crisis and has a good sense of humour. She also has the ability to contextualize the client’s brief, and explain clearly and concisely exactly what’s needed. Account managers like Janet make life easier for a copywriter.”
