Background

About Thomas van der Helm

I'm a business leader in advertising who gets energy from creative work that makes a difference. Halfway through my Communication studies in Rotterdam (2008), I started working at KSM - part of JWT. Here I worked for 6.5 years, laying the foundation for my career in advertising. In 2015, I moved to TBWA\NEBOKO where I had the opportunity to contribute to the business, marketing and communication challenges of multiple A-brands. From campaigns, activations, brand positioning, content, social, retail, CRM and CX. For B2C, B2B and Employer Branding (AMC). After a 1.5-year jaunt to DDB, where I worked mainly for KLM, I returned to TBWA and can officially call myself a TBWA 'boomerang'(there are quite a few of those, we all come back). Since returning in 2020, I have focused on new business, in addition to my role as business lead on accounts, including winning pitches for Dutch Railways (NS), T-Mobile, Tele2, Ben, Philips and Centraal Beheer. As of 2023 I’m TBWA\NEBOKO’s Head of Account.
