Hi, I’m Thomas Overweg, an experienced freelance creative / art director.
After graduating from Sint Lucas and the Willem de Kooning Academy, I have worked at a variety of Dutch advertising agencies over the past 17+ years, including DDB AMSTERDAM, LEMZ, FHV BBDO, THE ODDSHOP, MEDIA.MONKS, and ALFRED INTERNATIONAL. Most of this work was created together with my former copywriter, Tim Visser.
I prefer working across various disciplines and channels to find the right solutions for every challenge. I have worked for clients such as Pink Ribbon, Praxis, the Dutch government (Rijksoverheid), GVB, Rijksrecherche, Mercedes-Benz, M&M’s, Eneco, Shell, Lay’s, Volkswagen, Rijkswaterstaat, Jumbo, De Nederlandsche Bank, Twix, KPN Hi, Mora, Albert Heijn, Wakker Dier, and many more.
Over the years, the work has received awards from ADCN, Eurobest, SAN, Effie Awards, Lovie Awards, Best Social Awards, JongeHonden / Dutch Young Creatives, and the HEMA Design Contest. I believe creativity goes beyond advertising. That’s why I continue to create in my spare time as well — from books and products for kids to gardening and allotment projects, baking worstenbrood, screen printing, and interior and restoration work at my volkstuinhuis.
So, if you ever need a clear mind or some skilled hands...
