Nico - energieke strateeg en conceptdenker - is altijd actief gedreven en weet feilloos conceptideeën te ontwikkelen. Vanuit zijn digital tot crossmediaal denken levert Nico verfrissende insights die grondlegger zijn voor de creatieve uitingen. Gedurende dat proces weet hij het uiterste uit zowel de persoon als het merk te halen. Ik waardeer hem daar vele jaren voor al sinds de periode dat we samenwerkten bij brandactivation bureau Merx.

Nico is one of the most creative, inspiring and driven persons I know. He can create new concepts that first seem daring, but when executed make you feel that it was the only logical thing to do. Besides of that he's a very nice guy to work and laugh with.

Met Nico werk ik samen sinds de oprichting van zijn netwerk van onafhankelijke communicatiespecialisten, Bolts United. Hij is een creatief strateeg met wie het heel fijn sparren is. Hij legt de lat hoog en weet mensen te inspireren die paar stappen verder te gaan, waardoor een communicatieproject echt bijzonder wordt. Daarnaast is Nico heel praktisch ingesteld. Hij is een uitstekend organisator en accountdirector. Waar Nico komt worden zaken in gang gezet!

      IN 2000 REM became part of BBDO the Netherlands and started as Xsaga / Staging Brands. At that time BBDO the Netherlands was merging the Dutch BBDO companies (FHV BBDO, Proximity, Atmosphere, Inc 21, Signum, Xsaga, FHV Content, FHV Corporate) into one integrated agency, FHV Group. When this BBDO ambition failed, I started MERX. IN 2000 REM became part of BBDO the Netherlands and started as Xsaga / Staging Brands.
