Bert Hagendoorn

As positioning and growth strategy specialist, I have done more than 100 projects for creative agencies, and sometimes companies outside the creative industry, over the past 10 years. I help them move on to the next level, together with my six-step plan for positioning, growth strategy and communication strategy. This will give focus, direction, a sharper story, better visibility, new business strategy, new connections and ultimately a better business. I also provide guidance, coaching and sessions on specific parts of my six-step plan, both physically and online. In addition, I give workshops and masterclasses, plus you can also book me as a speaker about my profession and experiences, for both online and physical events. Next to my job I am Founder and Chairman of Dutch Digital Design: we showcase the best digital work from Dutch digital designers and agencies. We share the best work via social media, press and events - and talk about the design mentality behind the work. The foundation has almost 30 digital agencies and brands associated as partners. I love bringing organisations, agencies and individuals together. As part of this, I’m a co-initiator of the Dutch creative trade mission ‘Embassy of Dutch Creativity’, during Cannes Lions and events like ‘Digital Dinner Amsterdam’, and have been jury member of many creative awards, including SpinAwards, The FWA ‘Site of the Year’ and Dutch Design Awards.
