Who we help
This is what our clients say about us
"In my role as Deputy Government Commissioner, I have worked with BridgeGaps through Simone de
Brabander on various substantive dossiers. Simone is to the point and does
not shy away from a good, constructive discussion on the way forward. She
is pragmatic, goal-oriented and always sticks to achieving the agreed
results. In other words: she delivers, on time and as planned. Simone has
written a three-year Strategic Communication Plan (2022-2024) for the
Public Entity St. Eustatius in which she gave direction as to how the
municipality will handle public communications and dialogue with the
community on importantand challenging subjects. This Plan has already been
executed for the most part and is currently in process. Simone was also the
interim head of the information unit. In this role, she led and trained the
unit to deliver higher standards in terms of quality and quantity. I have
always experienced the collaboration with Simone as open, pleasant and with
mutual respect."
CLAUDIA TOETDEPUTY GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONER ST. EUSTATIUS (till 2023)
"BridgeGaps has good command of the subjects they deal with and consistently
deliver great results in a timely manner. The owners (Ms. de Brabander) personable approach makes it
a pleasure to do business with her. I highly recommend BridgeGaps for
Market Research, Marketing and PR matters."
LUIS SANTINEPREVIOUS DIRECTOR DCSX
"During my work as crisis manager for the Public Entity Sint Eustatius
Simone was a valuable member of our COVID-19 crisisteam where she was
responsible for public communication during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Simone is a very good strategic communications professional.
She is always on top of things, a good advisor and a clear communicator.
She is committed to her work, without choosing the easy way."
PETER GLERUMCRISIS MANAGER ST EUSTATIUS
"BridgeGaps acted immediately and professionally when we asked for
business/marketing support at the start of Fox-IT in Curaçao. Our request
was handled in a sharp and a very pleasant way resulting in good coverage
and a very well received official opening party. Based on our good
experience Fox-IT is now planning the next steps with BridgeGaps regarding
business support in the near future."
MAURICE STOLZENBACKPREVIOUS DIRECTOR FOX-IT
"Simone de Brabander van BridgeGaps is scherp, snel, gevat en gedegen. Zij
heeft een heldere kijk op mensen en zaken. Haar journalistieke achtergrond
en haar wortels op Curaçao gaven ons meteen een vertrouwd gevoel.
Sinds 2009 schrijft Simone voor Spies&Spreken en COCOSS persberichten en
daar zijn wij zeer tevreden over. Haar kwaliteit ligt in haar precisie. Een
goede observatie van de bijeenkomst, training of workshop gaat vooraf aan
een foutloos en feilloos weergegeven stuk tekst. Bij het bespreken van deze
stukken neemt Simone vaak nog het aspect “marketing” mee. De ideeën die
Simone heeft zijn verfrissend en bovendien zeer goed afgestemd op de
Curaçaose markt. Dat is voor ons de absolute meerwaarde voor het werken met
BridgeGaps. Als laatste is de snelheid waarmee zij werkt hoog en de
persoonlijke benadering zeer zeker een aanbeveling waard."
