Let's get LAUD 🙋‍♀️ | marketing strategie | digital excellence for your company and your team

I started my career deep in the world of lead generation for real estate developers, helping them find the right buyers and investors through smart, data-driven marketing. 

Performance marketing, conversion tracking and audience targeting became second nature. 

But I quickly realized that many businesses were missing a bigger picture strategy. One that goes beyond ads and actually builds long-term growth.

That’s why I founded LAUD.

Now, I help ambitious brands turn marketing into a real business driver, not just an expense. 
Whether it’s high-impact ad campaigns, a smart positioning strategy or training teams to become revenue-generating marketers, I love making marketing work for businesses, not the other way around.

💡 Worked with brands like Roularta Media Group, Finezz, Immovlan, Bouwgroep Driemo, Visit Oostende, Acasa and more.

🎯 What I’m great at:
✔ Performance marketing (Meta Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, TikTok Ads)
✔ Marketing strategy & positioning
✔ Always-on campaigns & lead generation
✔ Social media & content strategy
✔ Marketing Academy & training

Looking for straightforward, effective marketing that actually drives results? Let’s chat!
