What’s the story behind a brand, organisation or a speaker? Let me touch your audience and give your message meaning. That way, your brand event will be an unforgettable experience.
Emmelie uses storytelling, spoken word, and sings beautifully on request. Because of her theatre and television background, she can use different forms. Further, she knows how to keep attention during an event and create positive energy.
Emmelie is bilingual because she has an English father and a Dutch mother. She studied in Amsterdam and London. After her education at the Dutch Toneel & Kleinkunstacademie (Theatre Arts Academy), she toured the country with solo performances. She was increasingly asked for (camera) presentation work and that’s how her new career started. Emmelie decided to use her creativity and ability to connect people, as a full-time moderator, presenter, and interviewer.
“For several years now, Benedikt has accompanied my management teams as an inspiring speaker, but also practically as coach and input provider in the mountains. The colleagues were always completely enthusiastic because Benedikt manages to “include” people in his adventures at 8,000 meters above sea level and he transforms his learnings into inspiration for everyday life and for work. He succeeds in this especially through his enthusiasm and authenticity and the unique transfer from the death zone to the business world. In addition to the valuable contents of his lectures, I especially appreciate Benedikt’s humble and open way of approaching and responding to every person and can highly recommend him!”
"Emmelie is a wonderful moderator. She takes on every event with a personal touch. She's driven, flexible and truly great to work with. Even when you make last minute changes in a storyline or script on a Sunday at 20:00pm."
"Emmelie was the voice over of our Top 30 event and the host of the talk show we made as a team at the end of our Summit about our strategy. She was extremely well prepared and knew the right questions to ask. She connects with the audience very naturally, has a very charming and professional appearance, and knows exactly how to set the right tone to keep people interested. If the opportunity arises, I would love to ask her again for an upcoming event."
"Emmelie hosted the Amazon Academy 2020, virtual edition. She is a very professional moderator and host. With years of experience, she created the perfect dynamics during the virtual event. It was a very nice experience to work together!"
"Moreover, Emmelie co-moderated one of the panels and was curious on the topic herself, making it very authentic and engaging for both the public and the speakers she was introducing. Overall, a great professional, highly competent, amazing energy on stage. I recommend working with Emmelie as a presenter for any events big or small. Thank you Emmelie for joining us at our 2nd NL conference!"
