Constantinus Baarendse

I am a highly experienced and capable media executive with multi- discipline and -category experience. Inquisitive about applying new solutions. With 20 years of international media and marketing experience in blue chip companies and agencies.

I have a high level experience in sourcing, managing and remunerating agencies and other external parties for various types of media and marketing services, working for advertisers in close collaboration with procurement executives.

I’m a team player, knowledgeable, pragmatic, process-minded, and always looking out for improvement. I have a collaborative leadership style and I am known to have excellent communication skills. I am a pragmatic strategist, solid project manager and fast thinker. I care a lot about working in multinational companies. I value efficiency in my day to day work and I’m able and willing to travel, since I value personal connection.

Lately I’ve worked as an independent media consultant doing media management, agency selection, dashboard provision, contract reviewing and auditing projects for several advertisers. As an aside I’ve picked up programming skills, enabling me to analyze complex data using R and R-Studio, write TypeScript/ JavaScript programs and code websites using HTML and CSS. But above all, these skills, on top of my media experience, have enabled me to talk to all functions at the digital supplier side, from product managers, sales directors, CEO’s, to the programmers who do the actual work on their products. This way my aim is always get such a deep understanding of their offering, that I can truly value the relation to the strategic demands that we have to support.
