“Niels heeft op maandag 25 januari onze Peugeot Scooter dealers weten te inspireren met een nieuw beeld van design. In een viertal sessies verdeeld over de dag, heeft hij een 200tal dealers meegenomen in de wereld van automotive design. Hierbij heeft Niels met zijn mooie zorgvuldig gekozen Visuals en woorden de merkwaarde van Peugeot en met name Peugeot scooters uitgebreid en inspirerend onder de aandacht gebracht. Hiermee hebben wij Moteo Nederland BV als onafhankelijke Peugeot scooter importeur voor Nederland de dealer een schat aan insight en usp’s aan kunnen bieden. In onze speciale Peugeot magazine E#MOTION uitgebracht in de vier landen waarin Moteo Groupe NV actief is, heeft Niels een artikel voorzien waarin zijn structuur en inspirerende woorden nog eens terug te lezen zijn. De voorbereidingen en onze dealersessies Marketing en More heb ik met genoegen samengewerkt met Niels.”
