About Guy

A quick intro

Hey there, I'm Guy. I'm a versatile digital marketer with over a decade of experience, spanning the scale from early-stage start-ups to the international ad agency world. You're probably here because you want to know more about me. Well, you've come to the right place!

For a look at my professional work check out my LinkedIn profile or keep scrolling down for my resume on this website. To see how I got here you can also read my Master's thesis on authenticity in marketing - still pretty proud of it, I graduated cum laude from the University of Twente.

On the other hand, if you want to get to know me better personally you should definitely visit my blog Style over Substance. If that's too long-form for you, I've got my Twitter account ready with some short-and-sweet thoughts. And if you know me in real life I'm sure I've got you on Facebook already.

So, on the technical side of things you can download all of my original designs from Thingiverse, ready for 3D-printing. More interested in code? My GitHub profile is available to you. The repository that I'm most proud of is HA-meural: a Home Assistant integration for the Meural Canvas digital art frame.

For the more visually inclined you will definitely want to follow my Instagram for the daily stories, Glass for the photo highlights, or alternatively my Flickr account if you just want to see where it all started. My Pinterest boards can also keep you busy for a while.

Want to know more about my taste in music? I've been scrobbling for almost two decades to Last.fm, you can listen to my playlists on Spotify and even find out which concerts I'm going to at Songkick.

And last but not least, you can see what else I'm doing in my spare time by checking out the books I'm reading on Goodreads and the places I visit on Foursquare.
