Nominated for the Participation Award, 2022

 

La Plume Media is nominated for the Participation Award in 2022. The Participation Award is presented to employers who deliver a top performance in employing people with a distance to the labor market. La Plume has been happily committed to this for years (with or without an award 🙂 !).

 

La Plume Media is, for the second year in a row, one of the fastest growing companies in The Netherlands and has the right to call itself  FD Gazelle 2022.

The FD Gazelles, of the Financieele Dagblad newspaper, are the awards for the fastest growing companies in the Netherlands.

 

La Plume Media now has the right to call itself the FD Gazelle 2021. The FD Gazelles, of the Financieele Dagblad newspaper, are the awards for the fastest growing companies in the Netherlands.

 

Together with Creative Animal (NEP), ASML, and MediaMonks, La Plume Media wins a Dutch Interactive Award. Our work for the annual digital All Employee Meeting of ASML is awarded gold in the category ‘Corporate’ .

The Dutch Interactive Awards are an election for the best online work by Dutch creators in areas such as concept, design, and results. The awards in the ‘Corporate’ category relate to interactive platforms for companies and organizations.

The jury is impressed by this ‘golden’ case study. The ability to convey an experience to an international audience and with such an impact is to be commended. The work is technically daring and cleverly conceived. The fact that existing technology is used in an effective and innovative way is also very impressive. A beautiful interface that tugs at the heartstrings and looks truly interactive.

 

La Plume’s Veerle Focke (owner) wins the shared second prize during the Haarlem Entrepreneur Award 2020. The Haarlem Entrepreneur Award is by and for entrepreneurial Haarlem.

Veerle Focke is the youngest of the three finalists but, at the same time, has been an entrepreneur for 12 years. She entered the writing profession as a freelancer and then started her own company. The organic way her company developed is still evident in her style of leadership today. La Plume is the French word for feather (in Dutch: veer) and Veerle is the driving force (in Dutch: drijfveer) but, as she stresses, “it’s the members of the La Plume team who do the work.”

Veerle buzzes with energy and knows how to set clear goals for herself, her employees and her collaborative partners. She is able to think from the outside-in and shifts gear quickly to match her services to the needs of the customers. A driven, energetic and confident ‘power woman’.

From the glass office at Frame Offices near the train station, Veerle and her team work on internal and crisis communications strategies for clients at national and international companies. Mergers, acquisitions, shrinking and growing companies: you name it, Veerle can apply her skills as a communications specialist.

Veerle is undoubtedly ambitious and may function like a stern conductor for the ‘La Plume Orchestra’, however, she also knows better than anyone how to connect with, motivate and develop the young people in her team.

Veerle is an energetic entrepreneur who is not fazed by setbacks and crises. Haarlem should feel very proud of her. The jury believes Veerle to be a suitable finalist for the Haarlem Entrepreneurship Awards 2020.
