Trusted Media

Trusted Media, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, brings a distinctive blend of traditional publishing and modern crisis communication to the public relations landscape. Founded in 2016 by Sjuul Paradijs and Jan-Kees Emmer, the agency operates from its headquarters at 10 Donauweg in Amsterdam, North Holland.

From internal matters that risk spilling into the public domain to full-blown media storms, Trusted Media offers confidential and discreet advice. The team listens, analyzes, tests scenarios, and acts—recognizing that every situation requires a tailored response. This approach is particularly valuable for organizations facing reputational threats where the difference between containment and escalation often lies in expert media counsel.
