Online Brand Manager
QWSTION
(Apparel & Fashion industry)
January 2009 — Present (7 months)
Founded in 2006 in an industrial district of Zurich, Switzerland, QWSTION develops bags from a simple need for an honest solution.
Not satisfied with bags offered on the current market, QWSTION forged a range of bags to suit travelling needs throughout the metropolitan world.
New features and models are not driven by seasons but by our desire to innovate essentials. QWSTION bags are built from a functional perspective whilst giving the product a distinctive look.
I'm responsible for Online Strategy increasing brand awareness, building relationships among other responsibilities. -
Co-Organizer
Amongst Friends
(Privately Held; Internet industry)
January 2009 — Present (7 months)
Out of love and necessity rather than profit and novelty, Hein van Joolen & Nalden started Amongst Friends. The sneak preview with a personal toch. A monthly based event held in Amsterdam to watch quality movies in close company with friends.
After selecting trailers for a year at Nalden.net within the Trailer Trash topics we decided to bring this topic to life and created a moment to spend quality time with quality movies amongst friends. A moment to re-establish good friendships, a moment to escape the daily madness of work.
Each month we'll select a movie accompanied by trailers we prefer to watch. The Ketelhuis cinema in Amsterdam is kind enough to host the Amongst Friends series with comfortable chairs, a big screen and a massive sound system. We'll announce the movie we selected in front of the friendly audience which makes this event far more exciting, like a sneak preview.
Amongst Friends is sponsored by AMONGST FRIENDS NYC,
Street Couture Society, Jameson Whiskey and Red Bull.
Supported by NBC Universal | A-FILM | Warner / Fox | BFD films | Sony Pictures Releasing
Every third Monday of the month starting 8 PM at Het Ketelhuis. -

Appletree Records
(Partnership; 1-10 employees; Music industry)
January 2006 — Present (3 years 7 months)
After several years of successful hiphop-parties like Appelsap (Oosterpark) and creating the highly anticipated concept deHop, Dutch entrepreneurs Wiecher & Rogier of Hendsum & Young joined forces with the young likemind Nalden, who has a background in the music industry and advertising and also conquered the internet with his weblog, to start a recordlabel together.
Appletree Records, based in Amsterdam and founded in 2006 is all about a fresh, positive sound and mindstate. Searching new musical talent and bringing their music to the masses. Releasing music that needs to be heard. While Dutch hiphop makes moves throughout the Netherlands, Appletree Records sees the world as a potential market and playground. Appletree stimulates collaborations with international artists and believes in the power of real, unpolished music from the heart. Early 2007 is the start of a new musical era, an era with Appletree music world wide. -
