Our services

Content Strategy & Creation

Together we develop a content strategy that fits your goals. We always start by listening. By immersing ourselves in your organisation, we get to know your people and context from the inside out. That’s how we build a solid foundation – and make a real difference

Authentic (Video) Content Creation

We create authentic video stories that make complex topics accessible and touch people’s hearts. Real stories that inspire thought, feeling and action.
We also develop other visual and written content.

Founder & CEO

Meet Mister BrightVibes. Eleven years ago, Michiel decided to use his experience to make a positive impact. He worked at big companies like Endemol International, Talpa, and Digitas before dedicating himself to amplifying the good.

Seeing the positive impact that our stories have on millions of people, on the beautiful initiatives and brands we help, and on our incredibly talented & motivated team, inspires Michiel every day.

Joffrey Hoijer

CMO

“I work with leaders and organisations who sense that familiar frameworks no longer hold. My role is to bring clarity when complexity grows and decisions truly matter.”

“As a strategic advisor, I work at the intersection of strategy, culture and societal transition. Drawing on my experience as VP Strategy at Dentsu, and earlier roles at MediaMonks and Digitas among others, I support executives, public leaders and impact-driven organisations in connecting vision, decision-making and narrative.”

“My approach begins with trust, brings focus, and sets things in motion.”

Phil Veloso

Full-stack Developer & Impact Amplifier

“I’m Phil Veloso, freelance full-stack developer and digital marketing specialist. My passion is helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs and social innovators grow their impact by building powerful digital platforms.”

“Whether that means multimedia storytelling, platforms that bring communities together, or websites that engage like-minded people around positive solutions.”

Paul Crawfurd

Impact Accelerator

“For many years I developed new recurring revenue streams at organisations such as Mirabeau, Digitas and MPG, before continuing as an independent entrepreneur. Today I put that experience to work helping impact-driven organisations build sustainable business models and long-term growth.”

“After a deeply personal experience, I made a conscious choice to focus my work on social value and positive impact.”
