About me
I am a freelance Client Service Manager with an INTJ personality and a third culture man who is a polyglot fluent in four languages; English, Dutch, Papiamento, and Spanish. I've worked in marketing and advertising for the last ten years. With a diverse background in ATL, TTL, and BTL that ranges in projects focused on producing 360-degree campaigns from concept to realization, packaging design, and social media campaigns. Over these nine years, I've worked in several roles across the Client Service Department, such as Production Assistant, Integrated Account Manager, Senior Account Manager, Brand Manager, and Account Director. I am at my best when involved in all aspects and stages of a project – developing new creative solutions while keeping the end goal clear to produce outstanding results for both the client and the agency. Furthermore, throughout my career, I've worked with clients such as Intersport, L'Oréal, and Reckitt Benckiser, to name a few.
