From a functional publisher to a recognisable knowledge brand

I developed the strategic foundation and design direction for Boom’s renewed brand identity, positioning Boom as a contemporary knowledge partner rooted in heritage, expertise and societal relevance. 

ING Bank - Global Branding

At ING, I translated the ‘do your thing’ strategy into digital brand & customer experiences and an evolved brand identity in collaboration with external partners and multidisciplinary teams.

Making ING’s digital experience more human and distinctive
With ‘do your thing’ at the core, I developed an outside-in branded CX vision for ING: making the brand promise real in customer moments where personal encouragement and taking obstacles away matter most.

Building ING’s global Brand Community Platform

I led the project, content and experience direction for a global platform where teams could find brand guidance, tools and inspiration to create more consistent ING brand experiences — growing it from 2,000 to 295,000 users by its second year.

Emixa

A rallying manifesto and positioning foundation for a 500+ person global digital change agency

For Emixa, I facilitated brand workshops to uncover the core promise, positioning, brand values and energy of the brand. I translated the insights into an emotionally charged manifesto that helped sharpen the brand story and resonated strongly internally.

"I really enjoyed working with Fransje on developing our new Brand  Manifesto. She has the ability to get to the essence quickly and translate it  into an emotional and resonant manifesto that truly captures what

our  brand stands for. Beyond the result, she's simply a great person to work  with energetic, thoughtful and collaborative. Till next time!"
