International Media Expertise & Advice

Your Second Opinion is based in Amsterdam. On a daily basis I work with an international network of independent media experts across Europe and MENA. All of them are experienced in media strategy, creation, media buying and analysis in Europe.

"During my job as Director at RTL Group, I often was in touch with local and international clients and agencies who needed feedback on their existing plans, commercials or online video before starting a campaign. But they had nowhere to turn to."

Hence the idea for Your Second Opinion was born out of this need. I understand the dilemma you face when creating and implementing an effective online and TV media plan. An (inter)national media campaign is a significant investment and you want the certainty that your media budget will obtain the intended results.

That's why I help you to make the right decision to ensure your investment is secured. My network provides you with multi-platform and multicultural insights to make the best decision for your national and international media plan and ambitions.
