Cees ten Thije

After my study Art History at the University of Utrecht, I've worked for ten years in the publishing industry. During these years I held several commercial positions at three different publishing companies (www.audaxmedia.nl, www.nobilesmedia.nl/www.crf.com, www.creditsmedia.nl). By the end of 2004 I decided to start up my own company (Targeteers). Nowadays I'm involved in three different businesses but all related to journalism (online as well as offline): Targeteers (www.targeteers.nl), www.nlstudios.eu, www.startlog.nl/www.blogsupport.nl). Besides I'm the founder of and actively involved in a charity fund (www.stichting3r.nl).
