Why Does Rotkop
exist?

Rotkop promises to bring brands closer to people.
That might mean a company and its employees or job seekers, a brand and its consumers, a museum and its visitors, even a city and its residents, if you like. I do this through creative solutions, and always aligned with your business objectives.

2 ways of working.
Or a quick coffee.

Either we work together, or I do the homework for you.
One is called co-creation, the other consultancy. Consultancy also includes Instant Coffee: a 3-hour session where you walk away with a solution to your problem. That’s a promise.

In consultancy, we’ll also be bouncing ideas back and forth. And in co-creation, I’ll, of course, offer advice. So, even if you choose one way of working, it’s always a bit of and-and rather than or-or.

wie is
rotkop?

Hallo. Ik ben Tom Loockx en mijn bedrijf heet Rotkop.

Inderdaad, dat klinkt als een scheldwoord. Er zijn veel redenen waarom ik die naam gekozen heb, waaronder de kracht van een verhaal, en hoe dat vanuit zelfrelativatie tot conversatie leidt. Als we elkaar ontmoeten, vertel ik er graag meer over.

As you can see, I speak in the first person.

There’s no reason to make Rotkop sound bigger than it is. I’d end up with an ego, and you with an expensive bill. I mostly work alone, or bring in a few specialists when needed for your project. I can’t do everything, but I do a few things really well.

I come from the advertising industry.

It was an exciting period, but after 20 years, it was time to help businesses with solutions instead of campaigns. Today, I help my clients view their problems or challenges from a new perspective. As a former creative director, I apparently think and see things differently. At least, that's what my clients say.

cases

We kunnen blijven praten over de aanpak. Of we kunnen het gewoon vastpakken.

Verwacht geen eindeloze meetings en geen gezever. We zitten samen, maken een analyse en starten op. Stap voor stap doen. Itereren, leren, proberen, meten en verbeteren. Alsof we een startup aan het bouwen zijn.
