Raphaël (RAAF) De Kort

- Expert Profile and Services Overview

I'm a creative in a broad sense: I'm a musician, I paint and I think out creative concepts.
I'm socially skilled, enthousiastic and I have a keen eye for market approach. I'm a loyal person and eager to improve the results of my clients, whether this is turnover or growth in members, market share, and so on.

I have over 23 years of experience in marketing and communication for a broad range of clients. but... my succes is the result of collaboration with my collegues of b creative agency as I'm always part of a team.

In addition to this job, I founded a company with which I organize FIA e-races in Rotterdam.

I am lucky to have been born into a warm family with a father, a mother, a brother and a sister. We had and still have a good relationship with each other. Like our parents we are authentic in life and at work. I quickly turned out to be the creative one in the family.

Regarding education I have completed several educations like MEAO, HBO and a lot of management courses but most of my learnings came from practics during work and are based on trial and error.

After several educations I started my career in employment mediation. First local and executive, later leading on national level, with at at the the responsibility for 55 establishments in the branches of construction, technology and graphic media. A very vibrant and instructive working environment: a perfect base for understanding 'how things work on different levels.'

Since 2002 working in the 'communication industry', first as a companion of a marketing communication company in Rotterdam, followed by my position of director sales & concepts at design company b creative agency. Here I'm responsible for marketing and business development and thinking out creative concepts, wrting scenarios and scripts and directing video productions.

In 2019 I founded, together with 4 partners, Purpose Pole Position with which we organize electric FIA races in Rotterdam (E1 powerboatraces, Formula E).

I also do a couple of things in the field of volonteer work, including dementia and events.
