À propos de Dries

With over a decade of experience at the intersection of strategy, marketing, and live experiences, I bring a combination of hands-on execution, strategic thinking, and people management that allows me to create impact in complex, fast-moving environments.

My professional background spans digital marketing strategy, brand positioning, and large-scale event and festival operations. I have worked both agency-side and freelance, supporting brands such as Carrefour, Bpost, Pfizer, Port of Antwerp, DELA, and Carglass, as well as international festivals and cultural platforms including Tomorrowland, Extrema, and Awakenings. This mix has trained me to quickly understand diverse business contexts and translate insights into clear strategies and practical execution.

In my role as a strategy consultant, I have led research, buyer persona development, content and digital strategies, and campaign frameworks, often collaborating closely with internal teams and mentoring junior marketers. I am equally comfortable defining long-term vision as I am rolling up my sleeves to implement, optimize, and measure performance across channels.

Alongside this, my long-standing experience in event and stage management has sharpened my skills in leadership, communication, and problem-solving under pressure. Managing teams, coordinating international artists, and acting as a central point of contact in high-stakes environments has made me resilient, adaptable, and solution-oriented.

What motivates me most is working with people and brands that value clarity, creativity, and purpose. I thrive in environments where strategy and execution meet, and where collaboration and trust are essential to success.
