Hey everybody.
New to this site, so let's introduce.
I am Ingo Mettes and work as a copywriter in a creative team with Geert Ploeger (art). We started in 2000 in Advertising at Office, a small agency excelling in through the line advertising. From Direct Marketing, Sales Promotion, Brand Activating through more above the line things like 'just' doing ads and TV-commercials. After a while Office was bought by the big and mighty Ogilvy. So done that for a year or so. Then we moved to Imagine, a small 'hotshop' where we worked for about 8 months. In 2003 we started our freelance carreer. At HunkyDory, a famous agent here in the Netherlands. And that's the agent we still work for.
The last 4 years for famous agencies like 180 Amsterdam, Y&R, Publicis, Euro RSCG, Lowe, GreyCells, TBK/G2, FHV/BBDO, Saatchi&Saatchi as well as nice local agencies like Doom&Dickson, LEMZ and Van Walbeek Etcetera and directly for clients.

Thanks and see you on the forum

Grtz, Ingo

just been checking your work. you guys are doing some good stuff. evern considered coming down to India for a work/holiday skit?

great work dudes! why do you prefer to freelance when you can work for a large Agency?

Thanx you guys!

@ vikram: as a matter of fact we're visiting India in a short while. A friend who's living in Bombay is going to marry in the Goa-region. So we're visiting both Bombay as Goa. But as we're there for just a short period, we'll probably just be enjoying a short break

@ Hasmukh: we were sort of 'forced' into freelancing when we got sacked due to the 2003 recession... but it worked out just fine, so we're still being (very) busy as a freelance team. We're open to an offer from a nice agency, though. But it'll most likely be a national agency. Not necessary a big agency; it could as well be a smaller hotshop

would you guys want to work in India for a while? maybe we can hook up some interviews for you...

Hey Paramvir,

We're honoured by your kind proposal. But as we're in India to visit a friend and attend his wedding (a two day happening in India, right?), our time is limited. So I'm afraid we won't have much time left for any job-interviews.

Even though we're mainly focussing on working for (the better) local / western agencies, it would be interesting to learn a bit from advertising in India. So maybe sometime in the future. Who knows...

Thanks again. Greetz, Ingo

sure guys! do drop us a line anytime you want!
