New Head of Broadcast

2009-10-16

After 3 years at the Amsterdam office, our Head of Broadcast, Corey Bartha, is saying goodbye to the Dam and heading back to Portland. We'll miss him, but thankfully we've got a great guy to take his place, Erik Jan-Verheijen.


Erik, an Amsterdam native, brings a wealth of over 16 years of experience to W+K, ranging from consultancy, in-house, TV and feature film production ‘Bride Flight’ and ‘First Mission’ set for theatrical release in 2010. Most recently at W+K, Erik produced work for Nike ‘Bad Listener’, Honda ‘Let It Shine’ and the EA “Need For Speed SHIFT’ trailer.


W+K snatched Erik from Asia where he had recently implemented a successful operational module across the entire Ogilvy & Mather Hong Kong production hub including print, TV and traffic. Erik spent an additional 3 years at the Ogilvy Singapore office as Regional Head of Broadcast where he built up the Broadcast department and oversaw the Broadcast departments of Ogilvy in the Asia Pacific region.
