I am Ben. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An online business specialist and a creative entrepreneur. I grew up in Assen, in the province of Drenthe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started my first internet company<\/u><\/a>, Web and Brand<\/a>, when I was just 16 \u2014 and I never stopped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My specialty? Spotting online growth opportunities for businesses<\/mark> and turning them into reality through smart digital solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why you\u2019ll find me at my desk for a few hours each day \u2014 where for over 15 years I\u2019ve been working side-by-side with ambitious companies, helping them use online business as a powerful tool to grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might even recognize a few of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many of these clients have been with me for over 5 years. Some for more than 10! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\u2026<\/strong>
The moment the sun peeks through the blinds, I\u2019m out of bed chasing freedom \u2014 off on an adventure, into nature, in search of quiet, beautiful and undiscovered places.
Joined by my loyal sidekick\u2026 my drone. \ud83d\ude0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which drone? Right now I\u2019m very happy with my DJI Mini 5 Pro and DJI Avata 2 (FPV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2b06\ufe0f That\u2019s me! It really takes you places\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s something about the power and elegance of a drone, the feeling of flying like a bird \u2014 it gives me an instant energy boost.
And the unique footage I get from it? That puts a smile on my face every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is often miraculous, heart-raising and a feast for the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


It\u2019s my hobby gone wild, and I call it: Drone & Chill \ud83e\udd24<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I share the results of my adventures as inspiring social media content: blogs, photos, but especially short videos ranging from 10 to 90 seconds. In those short clips, I capture unexpectedly beautiful spots \u201cjust around the corner.\u201d<\/strong> For years now, I\u2019ve been roaming around Northern Netherlands after work, searching for adventure and relaxation \u2014 and along the way, I\u2019ve built up a treasure chest of knowledge about chill and stunning places, which I now share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


With this, I inspire thousands of nature lovers who have a heart for Northern Netherlands. My followers are people who enjoy the peace and relatively undiscovered nature up north, or those who want to visit the northern provinces for exactly that reason. My content gets tens of thousands of views every month! And the potential is far from exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


My adventures haven\u2019t gone unnoticed by various organizations. At the time of writing, I\u2019m exploring collaborations with businesses in local tourism, nature managers, and other related (semi-)government institutions: Province of Drenthe, TT Circuit Assen, Municipality of Midden-Drenthe, Staatsbosbeheer\u2026 to be continued.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s do business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


My adventurous hobby allows me to show who I am and what I\u2019m worth. To me, freedom \u2014 and the happiness that comes with it \u2014 is one of the most important things in life. I love inspiring entrepreneurs and companies to live a little lighter. The growth I can bring with my digital solutions contributes directly to that sense of freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Of course, you can hire me to create drone photos and videos on commission. I do content creation primarily as part of a strategic collaboration, or if there\u2019s ambition to grow it into one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can I do for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
