HELLO, I'M STIJN
SKILLED MARKETER WITH THE
DRIVE OF AN ATHLETE
If you ask my friends, family and former colleagues to describe me, they would describe me as: enthusiastic, empathetic, reliable, problem-solver, structured, analytical and always positive.
My broad field of interest and expertise, natural empathy and analytical view on things allow me to quickly understand business challenges in various contexts & industries.
Next to my passion for marketing, I am a sports enthusiast. You will find me regularly on my racing bike, in my running shoes or with a tennis racket. My master thesis on sports marketing, my role as coordinator of mass running events and my job as marketing manager of the Quick-Step cycling team allowed me to combine both passions.
"I never lose.
Either I win or I learn."
Did Nelson Mandela have a hidden growth marketing mindset?
MY JOURNEY AS A
MARKETER & ENTREPRENEUR
After obtaining a Masters' Degree in Sports Management at Ghent University (cum laude) and a Masters' Degree in Marketing Management at Vlerick Business School (magna cum laude), I have had the opportunity to develop myself as a marketing consultant at The House of Marketing through various projects. Furthermore, after multiple guest lectures about inbound marketing & marketing automation, a passion for public speaking emerged.
The strategic and operational baggage I got at a rapid pace was of gold value for my next challenge: building the marketing team at Energy Lab, a fast-paced Belgian scale-up. In concrete terms, we developed:
-
B2C and B2B marketing based on well-considered and action-oriented strategy,
-
Communication strategies and campaigns created and implemented for business customers,
-
Impactful brand activation initiatives for our clients.
Coming from an entrepreneurial family and with the profound expertise gathered along my career so far, I started working as an independent full-stack marketer in August 2020.
"There is no traffic on the extra mile."
That's why I enjoy riding there.
SO, HIRING ME EQUALS HIRING...
