Founded in 2019 by Stefan de Bruijn and Frits Huffnagel, Castro Communicatie focuses on strategic communications, lobbying and city marketing. The company is based in Amsterdam and works for companies and organizations such as Uber, Flink and SpiritsNL.
New Balls Please was founded in 2013 and has offices in Ghent and Brussels. The company is one of the largest event organisers in Belgium and organises (international) events for companies such as Asics, ING, Netflix, Spotify, Volvo, Opel, delaware, AB Inbev, Callebaut, AkzoNobel and Bridgestone.
Castro founder Stefan de Bruijn: "Successful corporate events bring people together and help get your message across. They therefore strengthen the communication, lobbying or city marketing activities of companies and organisations. While working for a client, I was delighted to get to know New Balls Please. New Balls Please is professional, creative, businesslike where necessary, informal where possible and always pragmatic. That's why we enjoy joining forces to organize effective corporate events together."
Michel van Camp, managing partner of New Balls Please: "Castro Communicatie has successfully put itself on the map in the Netherlands in a short period of time. With great pleasure and success we have already achieved beautiful collaborations. The Castro team is extremely pleasant to work with. New Balls Please has long had the desire to also be explicitly active in the Netherlands, and we find Castro the perfect partner for this. For the international clients we already have, for Castro's clients and of course for new companies and organisations."
