"Almost all of New York Pizza's marketing team members came to us through Babbage. You know our company well, and that's a great way to work with us. You understand the type of person who's a good fit for us, so we often only need half a sentence to make a whole sentence." – Joost Geurtsen, at New York Pizza

"I'd rather have a single, dedicated partner who really knows us and can respond quickly. Babbage is such a partner. Rutger and his team ensure we're always kept up-to-date on progress. And even when he's away, I get a quick response. That inspires confidence."

Sparring with Babbage helped to clarify: this is not a classic marketing role, but a position that touches on strategy, performance, and change within the team. Getting that clear was crucial.
