Gerrit Janssens

Copy & social media writer, BBC Marketing

Gerrit Janssens has experience in a number of different companies and sectors, but copywriting has always been a career thread. Ever since he first surfed the internet somewhere in the nineties and immediately fell in love with it, he has strived to combine words and the web professionally.

This led him to join the Antwerp-based B2B & HR marketing agency, BBC (an E3 Network member agency) in early 2009, where he specializes in creating and publishing content for the web and social media. He posts regularly on the BBC blog in both Dutch and English. His passion for words is reflected in his personal life: Gerrit’s first novel was published in 2001 and he currently works on his second one. He reads stories to his sons of 2 and 5 everyday.
