About Me

Hello there! I'm Richard Hol, an award-winning Creative Director and Copywriter hailing from Amsterdam.

​

My career has taken me across the globe, working for creative agencies in Amsterdam, Dubai, London and Singapore. My adventures include co-founding a boutique agency, serving as a Regional Creative Director at a network agency, and holding Executive Creative Director positions at both independent and social agencies. I've tackled thrilling challenges for a wide range of iconic brands spanning from IKEA to Prozac, Coca-Cola to Toyota, and Under Armour to HSBC - and the list is still growing every day. My work has been recognized with awards for both creativity and effectiveness.

​

I love adding fuel to the goodness that burns inside people, to nurture both professional growth and personal development. And to create working environments where teams from different disciplines and nationalities collaborate successfully, creativity thrives, fun flourishes and mutual respect comes naturally.

Or for a glimpse into my Dutch portfolio, visit my Instagram account, @verbeeldingskrachtvoer. You may notice I'm a big picture thinker who hasn't lost his fondness for hands-on craftsmanship. A creative with a strategic mind and a strategist with a lateral brain. 

​

Passionate about sharing knowledge, I've had the privilege of teaching at institutions such as the American University Dubai, a primary school in Amsterdam, and the University of Applied Sciences Rotterdam. Additionally, I've been honored to speak at various industry events.

​

On my right arm, I wear a tattoo of a line I penned myself: “To grow is the most beautiful thing you can do together.” Let’s meet and find out where our connection takes us.
