After a period of growth, the current Management Team of media agency STROOM, consisting of Samantha Catsburg (Managing Director) and Martijn Jaartsveld (Strategy Director) will be expanded from April 2023.
Marieke van den Hoek (Communications Director), will be responsible for clients in Amsterdam, Matthijs Kloezeman (Communications Director) for clients in Rotterdam, and Vincent Marquenie (Digital Lead) responsible for the digital division of both locations.
Background
After a period of organic growth with new business wins such as Dille&Kamille, Hero, PwC and Playmobil, plus the merger with De Media Maatschap, a strong medium-sized full-service media agency was created, consisting of around 35 employees. The team consists mainly of media consultants and campaign specialists, complemented by brand and marcom expertise.
STROOM stands for "Energy for Growth". The company offers strong local expertise and distinguishes itself from the large (international) agencies through closer and more intensive cooperation with the client. The triangle of client, advertising and media agency is leading in this, with short lines resulting in long relationships. Clients such as De Hypotheker, CêlaVíta and CliniClowns, for instance, have been with the agency for more than 10 years. The agency has offices in both Rotterdam and Amsterdam, facilitating national coverage for both clients and colleagues.
Samantha Catsburg, Managing Director STROOM: "Marieke, Vincent and Matthijs have proven themselves within their fields in terms of advice, commitment and passion. They are young, ambitious and ready for the next step. We think it's important to be able to offer young professionals opportunities to grow and to help build STROOM."
Martijn Jaartsveld, Strategy Director STROOM: "The span of control is getting bigger and bigger in this growing organisation. To keep growth at the desired quality with clients and employees, you also want to expand as MT. This is the right time to do so. STROOM remains an accessible company with a flat organisation and a creative outlook on media and marketing communications."
