NEP Netherlands appoints Patrick Brand head of marketing and communications

NEP Netherlands has appointed Patrick Brand as its new head of marketing and communications.

In his new role, Brand will further shape and strengthen NEP Netherlands’ marketing and communications strategy. Brand succeeds Marleen von dem Borne, who recently fulfilled the role on an interim basis.

NEP Netherlands chief executive Arjan van Westerloo said: “I am delighted that Patrick Brand will strengthen our leadership team. With his experience, network and knowledge of the market, he will be an enrichment for NEP.

“I look forward to working with Patrick to strengthen the connection with our colleagues and inform our market about all the great things we have to offer.”

Brand added: “I have been following NEP with great interest for many years, partly because my own roots are with the former NOB and later DutchView.

“NEP is the global market leader and has enormous potential to grow and develop further both in the Netherlands and abroad. I am very honoured that I can once again dedicate myself to position NEP both internally and externally as one of the best media companies in the Netherlands.”

Brand previously held the role of group marketing and communications director at EMG.
