Who the *&#^ is Henk Jantz
I'm a Creative Lead at VML Amsterdam, working mainly on The Coca-Cola Company and sub-brands like Amarula for Heineken International, together with our ECD. I’m trained as an art director, but I still enjoy putting thoughts on paper when the moment strikes.
I started out at a small agency in Zaandam and wandered through Amsterdam, Houten, Cambridge, Chicago and London before ending up in the JWT → Wunderman Thompson → VML family. I love getting deep into ideas, work happily in a team or on my own, and lean heavily on humour, even when my face forgets to join in.
I always try to make every brief the best it can be, award or not. I don’t give up easily (read: ever) and I windsurf best when the wind gets wild. Probably not a coincidence.
You can reach me at +31682447641 or henk.jantz@vml.com
And hey, whether it’s bags, soft drinks or cars that need attention, I can handle it.
