From cracked Photoshop
to building systems.
I help financial-services firms install the marketing function they wish they had in-house. Before we get to the work, let me introduce myself.
Hi, I am Stijn.
Founder and system architect
People know me as the LinkedIn guy for finance founders. My main focus is Creator. We install the marketing function a financial-services firm wishes it had in-house.
I live in the Netherlands. I like long maker days where I build, write and fix systems without calls or noise. For me business works best when there is friendship, clear talk and a shared goal. No games.
I have helped more than 80 founders and operators build the backend of their business. Their expertise turned into content. Their engagement turned into conversations. We run the whole thing.
How we got here.
It started when I was 14. A friend showed me how to install Photoshop. That click changed my life. I spent nights making YouTube thumbnails and banners. I sold thumbnails for one dollar on PayPal. Soon I worked for bigger creators. I graduated university Summa Cum Laude, but my real education happened here. I learned that systems beat raw effort.
Later I spent half a year in Norway at a tech startup. There I caught the real bug: product, go to market, systems. I signed my first web and marketing clients there. When I came home I scaled my first agency to about 18k per month. Then I did something most founders do not dare. I walked away.
I spent four and a half months traveling. Australia, Philippines, Indonesia, Sri Lanka. No plan. No pipeline. When I came back my business was at zero. No leads. No calls. Nothing. In four months I rebuilt to 20k plus per month. That flipped a switch. I stopped chasing tricks. I started building engines.
Out of that came Creator. We install the marketing function a financial-services firm wishes it had in-house. You own the assets. The Cockpit is where we operate them. Simple for the founder, deep under the hood for us.
Global expertise, one system.
Behind Creator there is a small global crew of people who are each very good at one thing. We do not just publish posts. We install the whole marketing function around your expertise. Content that sounds like you. Conversations opened in your voice. A CRM and a live scoreboard in your accounts. The Cockpit is where we operate it.
Principles we build by.
We do not use automation just to save a few minutes. We build systems that let you step out of the weeds, so you can advise, build or lead while the machine behind you keeps running.
We tell the truth. We respect attention. No fake countdown timers. No tricks. We share what we build, what breaks and what works. Also the boring stuff that makes the money.
We look for long term partners. We would rather play one long high trust game than ten short cash grabs. Clear upside for you, clear upside for us, full transparency on the numbers.
"I want my work to feel like a living system. Open, sharp and useful."
