Martijn van den Heuvel
COMMUNICATION, ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE, AND BRAND STRATEGIST
I use structured, people-driven strategies to help organizations communicate better and drive more effective digital change
I have more than eight years of (leadership) experience as an independent consultant/coach in communication, change management, and branding.
During those years, I worked for startups, mid-size companies, and enterprise organizations working on:
COMMUNICATION
Reach your goals
I can help you with your internal/external communication on all management levels.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
Get the most out of it
Most changes require some form of "management" to help reach your company objectives within a fixed period of time.
VISION, BRAND & STORY
Create meaning and understanding
Having a vision and a proper narrative/story helps your stakeholders understand why you're doing what you're doing. Your brand impacts your business. It reflects and affects your external image, internal culture, and strategic direction - one of my favorite topics to talk about.
COACHING, CONTRACTING
Different formats
I can be available anywhere, at any time. Having my own company provides me with the opportunity to create perfect circumstances to work with you.
Recommendation
I was honored to receive the following team recommendation in April 2019.
"He is a true people manager. When he joined our team, we were pretty well established, despite having 4 managers in the past 4 years. While some managers jump right into the workload, Martijn began his tenure really getting to know each of us. He listened to what we liked about our jobs, what we would change, and what direction we would like to move in. He checks in on Monday mornings to ask us how our weekends went, and takes the time to listen. After a few months, he shared his thoughts on how we could improve, not only within our roles, but also how we could grow as individuals. He inspires us to think big, beyond the daily operational work, to understand how we can strategically grow. Quite simply, Martijn is “one in a million”."

MORE ABOUT ME
Aside from my working life, I'm interested in tech, science, travel, and well-being.
I keep a healthy work-life balance by going to the gym every day (weight lifting), working from different locations (also abroad if possible), drinking coffees with friends (oat cappuccino), and making sure I keep learning new things every week (events, training courses, Blendle).
I'm open to working and living anywhere in the world.
