We zijn 2019 officieel begonnen! En dat betekent dat we van start zijn gegaan met de marketing- en corporate PR-activiteiten voor Beiersdorf Nederland. Met 135 jaar ervaring en intussen acht sterke merken zit Beiersdorf diepgeworteld in de Nederlandse samenleving. In Het PR Bureau vond de multinational een PR-partner om voort te bouwen aan een stevig fundament én om deelbare verhalen te creëren.

135 years of innovation

In 1911, Beiersdorf revolutionised the world of skincare with the introduction of NIVEA Creme: the first ever stable water-in-oil cream worldwide. The innovations of the Beiersdorf brands followed each other quickly ever since. However, communicating about this alone isn’t enough. Beiersdorf and Het PR Bureau share the ambition to touch the target audience with impactful stories. We will therefore join forces to develop PR campaigns that will surprise you.

Strategic thinking with a creative twist

Famke Jonker, Media & PR Manager Beiersdorf: “At Beiersdorf, innovation is our first priority. We always challenge ourselves to continue to develop. Our brands have great ambitions and PR of increasing importance to them. We’ve found the perfect partner in Het PR Bureau to express this both strategically and creatively. They are known for their distinctive approach and have a proven track record in developing a long-term strategy. We’re looking forward to working together and the nice projects that will come from it.”

Toon van Loock, account manager at Het PR Bureau: “It’s amazing to work for a company that has produced such iconic brands. These brands are deeply rooted in our society and many Dutch people use them on a daily basis. We see many great opportunities for a strong PR strategy which build on a steady foundation and surprise with creative PR concepts.”

”We work together with a dedicated team at Het PR Bureau. A great mix of creativity and PR expertise. In close collaboration with their network in media, influencers and behind the stage, they make plans happen.”

Esther ter Braak - Brand Manager
Foodora

“For a startup brand like ours, it was extremely important to see frequent media coverage. Het PR Bureau has laid the foundation for our growth from Amsterdam to 6 other cities in the Netherlands. Despite our relatively modest budgets, we were able to achieve enormous coverage together. I look back on a number of activations with great pleasure.”

Netflix

"Netflix was ​​looking for the best suitable communication partner in every country. This could also be a 'local hero', as long as they are big enough. For the introduction of Netflix in the Netherlands and Belgium, we have partnered up with Het PR Bureau. The desired Service Level Agreement was new to Het PR Bureau, but they adapted very quickly and it soon surfaced. Within the international framework, they surprised us with their proactivity and creative ideas."

”The uniqueness of Het PR Bureau is that the people are able to both think on a strategic level and at the same time roll up their sleeves to set up an event or activation. A high-quality one-stop-shop in the field of PR, that is what we were looking for and what we ultimately found in Het PR Bureau.”

Wieteke van Hunnik - PR & Communications manager
Spotify

“In de zoektocht naar een bureau dat ons merk in de Benelux kon introduceren, kwamen we na een intensieve oriëntatie bij Het PR Bureau uit. Hun netwerk, ondernemerszin en drive gaven de doorslag. We waren onder de indruk van hun professionaliteit. De strategie van het bureau is dat ze VAPs (Very Adorable People) op cruciale posities aan het werk zetten. Intussen hebben we, sinds de start in 2011, ruim zeven jaar samengewerkt. Ik kan gerust stellen dat Het PR Bureau een belangrijke rol heeft gespeeld in het groot maken van Spotify in de Benelux. "

“Het PR Bureau is a smart, professional group of people with nice perspectives where I felt at home immediately. Especially in a very difficult market such as the insurance industry, in which many interests play a role and which has many limitations, they did very well. I regard Het PR Bureau as a premium agency. With such a partner you can be assured that your campaign will be executed impeccably.”
