This year I’ve had the pleasure of having Cathelijn as a member of our team, working on the CityTrips page for the TravelBird website. Cathelijn is a hard worker with awesome writing skills, is ambitious and a traveler in heart and soul. I gladly offer her my highest recommendation for any future employer.

With Cath&Co. we create offbeat content strategies. We write creative copy with purpose, produce content that persuades. We can make any tone of voice our own and we shoot images and video content that give pause for thought. We're most alive in the start-up jungle, preferably partnering up with true disrupters.
