We hope you've had a fantastic holiday season filled with joy π, laughter π, and unforgettable moments π. As we bid farewell to the old π and embrace the new π, we're bursting with excitement about what 2024 has in store for us!
We kicked off the year exceptionally on January 1st by appointing Ilonka Stevens as the new Managing Director of DDG Smart Marketing π©. Ilonka brings a wealth of experience from her last 7 years in various roles at DPG Media, where she was recently responsible for the in-house advertising agency of AutoWeek, Hardware Info, Ouders van Nu, Tweakers, and vtwonen. The arrival of Ilonka also means that Ester and Arno, founders of DDG Smart Marketing, are taking a step back.
Ilonka Stevens shares, βDuring my career, βoperational excellenceβ has become my trademark. I made the exceeding of expectations the common thread in my life. I strongly believe this is the foundation for a sustainable and successful collaboration. In 2024 you can expect full commitment from me on improving operational excellence and customer satisfaction. Iβm pleased to work with this amazing team, and I am highly motivated to contribute to the continues European growth of DDG Smart Marketing! I have received a very warm welcome within the DDG Family and Iβm super enthusiastic to start this great adventure.β
But that's not all - the DDG team is expanding, and we couldn't be more delighted to welcome four incredible individuals set to make their mark in 2024.
Welcome aboard Ilonka, Robin, Anna, Valerie, and Jearina! ππ
With many new team members, we are more than ready to serve our customers with renewed energy and innovation πͺ. Here's to a prosperous and successful year ahead! π₯
