Clear out the old.
Make way for the new.
Stormwise is a bureau for B2B brand rejuvenation - inspired by the cleansing force of nature.
Here is the story behind it.
Imagine a tree—one with withered, dry leaves.
(Come on, indulge me.)
After a storm, this tree will be empty.
It will have lost its leaves.
It might even have lost a branch or two.
If you look at nature, a storm is the cleaner of all that is impermanent and decayed to make room for new growth.
The point is, a storm cleanses.
It clears out the old to make way for the new.
At Stormwise, we believe companies can benefit from a similar shake-up.
Behind the screen: Marius van der Vloed
Just look at him, sitting there all smug with his jacket and pocket square.
Yeah, it’s for "branding purposes."
Whatever that means.
Wait, why am I even talking in the third person?
Let's get serious (sort of.)
There is a screen separating us, after all.
So, nice to e-meet!
Ny mame is Marius (wow, that's the whiskey talking.) What do I do? I am a B2B Marketing Strategist. Or so they say.
I seem to be rather good at rejuvenating marketing activities within businesses where people in the marketing team are stuck in the same routine. Thus, propelling brands to the modern age.
Wow, that's a mouthful...
Let's try again.
But this time, in fewer words.
..Here it goes
I turn brainwaves into words and dress them up in pretty slides.
-way better!-
Words give you—and your company—a place in the world.
Remember, there's a screen separating us?
(It’s kind of hard to miss.)
Well, newsflash: It's the same screen separating your business from potential clients.
Of course, you need some fancy marketing tactics to get your target audience to actually read your message.
But.. *Auch* let's just stop right there.
I hate that term.
"Target audience."
Like, are we shooting people with targets on their backs?
We ain't no damn snipers. *Imagine Forest Whitaker saying this for extra weight— it works, doesn’t it?*
The point is you are trying to attract living, breathing human beings.
So address them like real people.
Ok, back to where we left off. It is so hard not to get distracted these days.
I have been doing this "branding thing" for quite some time now.
Over thirteen years.
Developing,.. implementing.. optimizing...
They seem to think I am pretty good at it.
Here you can find some assignments I have done before.
Now, if you've made it this far...
Then onto some juicy, personal stuff.
-I feel like we've known each other for ages by now-
There's this motto I live by.
It's "don't ever get too comfortable, nothing in life is constant."
I mean, Jon Bon Jovi himself could have said it.
(He actually did)
Right.
Let's just put an end to it, then.
Do you have a MarCom project that needs leadership and swift execution?
