My job is to tell that story. As Head of Marketing I make sure we are visible, with content that appeals and inspires. Think blogs, customer stories and social media. No two days are the same and that&#8217;s what makes my job so much fun.    <\/p>\n<h3>The day begins early and organized<\/h3>\n<p>At 6:30 a.m., the alarm clock rings. After a quick shower and getting dressed, I enjoy my breakfast: overnight oats with apple and cinnamon, while reading the newspaper. At 7:30 a.m. I get in the car towards the office in Naarden. BNR Nieuwsradio on and I&#8217;m immediately up to speed.   <\/p>\n<h3>Hugs, coffee and content<\/h3>\n<p>Around 8:15 a.m. I arrive at the office. First a cup of coffee and of course a cuddle with our office dog Toulouse. Then I start editing a blog written by colleague Richard about Microsoft Fabric. Although I&#8217;m not an IT professional myself, thanks to the understandable technology I know exactly what it&#8217;s about. Glad we can make complex things so accessible.    <\/p>\n<h3>Connecting with the team and the client<\/h3>\n<p>At 9 a.m. it&#8217;s time for the daily stand-up with the whole team. I enjoy being there. I hear what&#8217;s going on, get new ideas and stay well connected. Then, together with colleague Laurens, I drive to The Hague, where we visit UNICEF Netherlands. They use our solution, the Intelligentive\u00ae, to organize their data smartly. We interview them and I develop this into an <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/cases\/unicef-nederland-bouwt-met-intelligenthive-aan-veilige-inzet-van-ai-en-personalisatie\">inspiring customer case for the website<\/a><\/u>.     <\/p>\n<div class=\"quote\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<p>&#8220;Although I am not an IT person myself, thanks to the understandable technology, I know exactly what it is all about.

The rest of the afternoon I spend on social media. First Toulouse gets to shine on Instagram (always a success). Then I get to work on content posts about our technology and its applications.   <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From podcast to water polo<\/h3>\n<p>Around 5 p.m., I drive home. This time I listen to an episode of the podcast <em>Napleiten<\/em>. I&#8217;ve listened to so many that sometimes I think I&#8217;m a lawyer myself by now. At home, my husband has already cooked dinner and a delicious pasta awaits. After dinner I cycle to water polo practice. Great to end the day with my team in a sporty way.     <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">End of the day<\/h3>\n<p>Once home, around 10 p.m., I drink another cup of tea and eat a bowl of cottage cheese! Around 11 p.m. I go to bed, wondering what tomorrow&#8217;s day will bring again. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes my workday successful?<\/h3>\n<p>When I manage to strike the right chord with a blog or customer story. When I see that our content inspires people, makes them curious or even spurs them into action. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Richard-en-Danielle-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Richard-en-Danielle-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Richard-en-Danielle-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Richard-en-Danielle-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Richard-en-Danielle-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Richard-en-Danielle-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Richard-en-Danielle-1920x1282.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Richard-en-Danielle-817x545.jpg 817w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone needs to know what Beeminds does and especially: how smart we do it.
