Nice to meet: Nikki de Kok

We'd like you to meet the people behind Sqillzer. Knowing the people better is knowing Sqillzer better ;-)

Please introduce yourself...

My name is Nikki de Kok. Through my agency Brand Your Business I advice and train media agencies, advertisers and educational institutes, like university of applied sciences rotterdam (Hogeschool Rotterdam), in the Online Marketing field. I focus mainly on online advertising (programmatic marketing) and data analysis.

And what do you do for Sqillzer?

As an ambassador of Sqillzer, I help them gain more visibility and connect to media agencies, advertisers and educational institutes that want more insight in the knowledge, comprehension and application level of their specialists and/or students.

I have a broad network with the above mentioned potential partners for Sqillzer (our clients). This makes it more relevant for us, because of our consultancy and training activities. This way also we can measure and improve our own training courses and show our clients the effects and added value of our training courses and/or consultancy.

What should people know about you as a person?

I’m always looking for challenges, either small (like technical possibilities) or big ones (new projects). Tina Fey once said: “Say yes and you’ll figure it out afterwards”. Although this might be jumping to conclusions a bit, I of course do look at the potential of the assignment and if it’s realistic ;-) Most important for me is to push myself out of my comfort zone constantly, which brought me a lot of success already, although I’m only 26 years old.

What should people now about you professionally?

I have 6+ years of Online Marketing experience. I started at Free Record Shop, my next stop was Sundio Group (Sunweb, Jiba, GOGO). After a few years at the 'advertiser side', I wanted to gain more experience at the 'agency side', where my love for technology (programmatic marketing and the data part) increased rapidly :-)

I worked for DQ&A Media Group, Omnicom Media Group, MEC (GroupM), The Online Company and of course my own company Brand Your Business. I get lots of energy from sharing knowlegde with colleagues and students in the online marketing field. The reason why I also help the Hogeschool Rotterdam with redesigning and teaching the Online Marketing program, in collaboration with industry thought leaders.
