Van Hemel Communicatie

Based in the northern Dutch city of Assen, Van Hemel Communicatie has been providing strategic communications counsel since 2009. Operating from its office at 9 Stationsstraat in the Drenthe capital, the agency serves clients navigating the intersection of public visibility and brand development. Assen, a city known for its administrative and cultural importance in the northern Netherlands, provides a stable base for an agency whose work spans local, regional, and increasingly national communications needs.

Strategic Communications and Brand Positioning

Van Hemel Communicatie focuses on helping organisations increase their visibility and strengthen their brand identity. The agency describes its approach as practical and results-driven, combining public relations, brand strategy, and copywriting to create consistent professional presence across both digital and traditional media. The firm's work in "raadscommunicatie" — council communications — indicates particular experience with public sector clients, where clear, transparent communication is essential. Beyond government work, the agency applies its strategic lens to commercial organisations seeking to refine their messaging and market position.

The agency's service offering centers on three core areas: brand strategy, public relations, and writing and editing. Through brand strategy, Van Hemel Communicatie helps clients define or refine their identity, ensuring that messaging aligns with organisational goals. The PR component focuses on securing editorial coverage and managing public perception, while the writing and editing services support everything from press releases to website copy and internal communications. This integrated approach allows the agency to act as a single point of contact for clients who need both strategic direction and tactical execution.

Services and Specialties

While Van Hemel Communicatie tailors its work to each client's specific needs, its expertise typically covers the following areas:

• Strategic communications planning and counsel
• Brand strategy and brand positioning
• Public relations and media relations
• Council and municipal communications (raadscommunicatie)
• Copywriting for websites, press materials, and marketing collateral
• Writing and editing for various formats and audiences
• Communications audits and messaging workshops
• Crisis communication preparation and response

Client Fit and Local Expertise

Van Hemel Communicatie is best suited for organisations that value practical, no-nonsense communications support. The agency's emphasis on "praktische, resultaatgerichte branding" — practical, results-oriented branding — suggests it works well with clients who need clear deliverables and measurable outcomes rather than abstract strategies. This makes it a strong choice for mid-sized businesses, local government bodies, and nonprofits in the northern Netherlands that require professional communications without the overhead of a large agency.

The agency's location in Assen gives it particular insight into the Drenthe market, but its skills in brand strategy and public relations are transferable to clients operating anywhere in the Netherlands. For organisations seeking to build a consistent professional image and increase their editorial media presence, Van Hemel Communicatie offers a focused, experienced partner. The firm's longevity since 2009 demonstrates its ability to adapt to changing communications landscapes while maintaining a steady focus on client results.
