“When we hired Rutger as a presenter, he came up with solutions for problems before we even spotted them. Cars and tech aren’t cold subjects in the hands of Rutger. With his warmth, wit and curiosity he elevates every video. Did you know he can even make German policewomen smile?”

Planning to not have a boring career? You want to create and make a living out of it? Have I got the book for you. It is called Creativity as a career. And I wrote it. Well, most of it. Together with colleagues from Sweden, Finland, Spain and the Netherlands, I worked on this book….
“Rutger is one of the most open-minded, social and creative people I’ve ever met. Moreover, he possesses the ability to relay his considerable knowledge of arts and ads onto the people around him. And he’s a nice guy.”
“As a regular contributor at Bright Rutger is one of our defining voices. Great associative skills, well informed on relevant developments, quick to gain insight and with that contagious sparkle in his eyes. It’s a joy working with him”
