Another winter season on the road as floor manager for the IBSF!

Normally summer is the season I love the most, but at this point I can say I’m really looking forward to winter as well!

Mixed Zone Manager in winter and summer!

After three years I was back in Denmark to work as mixed zone manager for the 2018 World Championships Sailing and loved it!

We work with Hester since a few years for the media and special projects around the ship Bark Europa It is always a pleasure to work with Hester, she is full of ideas, quick in answering questions, having always the right person for the job in her database, and a great person to have around during events and on board the ship. For sure Hester is of great help to spread the message of our ship Bark Europa to a much wider audience which we could not have reached without herread more

Hester supported the IBSF Communication team the last two years and was traveling the world with the IBSF World Cup competitions. With her great knowledge and experience in Social Media and OTT video content production, IBSF could double the fan community once more during the Olympic season. Hester is highly dedicated, a fantastic team worker and great fun to work with. I highly recommend working with her 👍👏read more

I worked with Hester during the Hempel Sailing World Championship 2018 in Aarhus for around 15 days and I only have nice words to describe her :) She is definitely a hardworker, but also a sensitive and supportive person who always had a smile on her face and was willing to help anyone. She was in charge of the mixed zone, among many other tasks, and everything went smoothly and was so well coordinated it made it super easy to work there. Definitely, she is the kind of person that you want to have around during a sailing event, either working at the media center or going out for a nice and relaxed dinner or walk. I hope we see each other again soon Hester 😊read more

Met Hestag Online Media haal je wat in huis. Op een geduldige, gestructureerde en prettige manier werden vele ideeën aangedragen waar je zelf nooit aan zou denken. Het heeft de City Swim in Haarlem - Swim to Fight cancer - een goede zet in de juiste richting gegegeven. Hester heeft zeker geen 9 tot 5 mentaliteit. In de dagen vooraf was ze altijd aanwezig, altijd bereik om de handen uit de mouwen te steken zonder de focus op het werk uit het oog te verliezen. Daarnaast kan ze scherp, kort en bondig uit de hoek komen. Uiteraard met de nodige noozakelijke humor.read more
