Marketing communication & project management

Marleen Haverkamp

After spending almost five years living and working in Cape Town, South Africa, I developed a deep passion for Africa, adventurous safari trips, and the beauty of nature. This experience left a lasting impression and created a strong affection for the continent. After returning to The Netherlands, I started my entrepreneurial journey while also starting another adventure; raising two daughters.

As a project manager, my background in advertising and online marketing is highly beneficial. Collaborating with global brands ranging from automotive (Volvo Cars Worldwide), financial/tech (Rabobank, TomTom, Tiscali), to Fast Moving Consumer Goods (Nestlé Waters (S.Pellegrino, Acqua Panna), Perrier, L’Oréal, Coca-Cola) and travel/conservation (Asilia Africa), I own a versatile skill set that enables me to easily adapt to new environments and integrate well within new teams. I have a broad perspective and the ability to take strategic plans to the next level; transforming abstract concepts into tangible marketing actions.

Marleen is a real gem, I am hesitant to even give this recommendation in fear that she will be snatched up by other safari companies. She has worked in the safari industry for many years and is extremely knowledgeable in online marketing & social media. Her attention to detail is inspiring, her wisdom extremely helpful and to top it off she is fun to work with. Thanks for all your help Marleen! We are thankful to have you on board!

Being responsible for one of our key accounts, Marleen managed to get into her role in no-time. A true professional in many ways, working on senior level in complex projects. Marleen managed to find balance between strategic decisions and concrete actions on BU level. A high working ethic, punctual and a team player.

Marleen has supported us by carrying out PR activities for various clients of our company Gate2Marketing, including organizing presstrips and copywriting for newsletters and press releases. During the rebranding of our corporate website, she was a key project leader.
