Professional or project? Always the best match

Do you need support as a client in marketing, communication or content? Then Babbage has been ensuring the best match with our professionals for over 20 years; permanent or interim. But did you know that we can also solve questions on a project basis? From strategy and advice to campaigns and all types of content.

Lieke Severijns, Director Babbage: “In this tight labor market, we try to be flexible in how we can continue to serve clients optimally, using our large network. Within De Redactie, we have been supporting content on a project basis for some time, for example for the Tax Authorities. We also noticed during corona that clients got used to the fact that interims and employees no longer necessarily walked around their office, but asked for flexible support. We offer this from our in-house project office for communication and content.”

Trusted quality

“Simply explained, you can view it this way: do you want to hire a strategic advisor, or is a strategy needed? During intakes, we ask probing questions and think proactively to always offer the best solution. Our project agency also offers benefits for our professionals working on assignments. Do they receive a question for which they lack the knowledge or time themselves? Then they can call us directly. On a project basis, we provide the requested support, with the trusted quality of Babbage Company & De Redactie and with direct lines of communication,” says Merlijn Wessels, Manager Projects Communication & Content.

In addition to a communication strategy, for example, you can think of 'project-based' support as products and services such as a campaign, online content, accessible texts, annual reports, a content strategy or a creative concept for social media. Merlijn: "For each question, we flexibly search within our own team, our network or in collaboration with partner agencies for a suitable answer."

Project-based solution

Babbage is of course known as an intermediary for the mediation of marketing, communication and online professionals. But when is a project-based solution useful? Think of:

• If you need irregular deployment, for example outsourcing the online newsletter once a month;
• If you need specific expertise that is not available in-house, for example a behavioral analysis or a one-off scan of the digital accessibility of the content;
• If you need additional ad hoc support or want to handle peak periods, but do not want a professional in-house or on-site;
• If you have a question that combines multiple disciplines, for example advice, content, editing and design.

The in-house project office unburdens, connects and provides. Lieke: “Last year, with the merger with De Redactie and our project office, we took a big step towards full service provision across the full breadth of our profession. At the same time, we offer professionals more opportunities, because they can now work not only through us but also with us.”

Benefits of a project agency

• Only pay for the hours needed;
• Complete care in project management and traffic;
• Multidisciplinary issues in one hand;
• Always the most suitable professional(s) for your question.
