About
Hello. I’m Marijke.
I think creativity is like a superpower. Apply it to any industry, business problem or birthday card, and you get something better. It’s lateral thinking. It’s doing things differently. Understanding the rules so you can break them. And I love it.
Since starting in the industry umteen years ago, I’ve established myself as a trusted go-to for creative problem solving - both with clients and colleagues. I have a reputation for simple and effective ideas, inspired by human truth. Some of which have been recently recognised at the big shows, including a few Grand Prix.
I’ve never sought the ‘easy briefs’ - instead I’ve taken pride in tackling tough problems from big clients - and I’ve sold them bold ideas. With a strong design background, I hold myself to very high standards. I am an extremely clear communicator, which is paramount when collaborating - I see that as massive part of what we do. My love for constructive criticism only grows stronger, as I believe it’s how we make great work.
I am determined to continue to demonstrate the true power of creativity, as I believe it can change the world.
Right now, I am Innovation Creative Director at HeimatTBWA Germany.
