Accelerate with Communities
The 1-1 Business Mentoring AND/OR Consultancy Program for Exponential Growth!
You’re a visionary leader with an impressive track record. Your company is performing well, and your team delivers excellent results. Yet, you feel there’s more potential to unlock.
Especially online, there’s still much to gain. How do you reach the right people in a digital world full of noise? How do you build a sustainable and scalable (online) community that strengthens your brand and builds loyal relationships with both customers and employees?
You see more and more companies setting up a successful (online) community.
As an entrepreneur, CEO, or senior manager, you’re facing unique challenges in this rapidly changing world. You struggle with the complexity of digital transformation, the rapid rise of AI, and reaching your target audience amidst an abundance of information. Additionally, you have difficulties attracting and retaining talent, promoting diversity and inclusion, and creating a strong internal culture that keeps employees happy and engaged.
A successful community can help!
Internally, for example, as an HR director, to attract talent through ambassadors, improve internal communication, and build an inclusive corporate culture.
Or externally, as a CEO, entrepreneur, or Marketing director, to increase customer loyalty, strengthen brand awareness, and turn followers into fans and returning customers.
You have the vision and the drive, but sometimes you get stuck in the complexity of digital transformation and the rapid emergence of new technologies like AI. You want to achieve the next level of success without getting lost in technical details. You long for a clear plan and support from someone who has already helped hundreds of other companies achieve their goals.
In the modern business world, community building is essential for growth and engagement. As an experienced community strategist and business mentor with over 20 years of experience, I help you not only with general business challenges but also with building and maintaining a thriving (online & offline) community. This community strengthens your brand, increases customer loyalty, and improves the internal culture of your organization.
You know that (online) community building is a growth accelerator, but you need a proven strategy and plan to use it smartly.
It’s time to realize your vision. Our program focuses on exponential growth through proven strategies for community building, smart tools, and strategic collaboration. Together, we turn your idea into great success.
With our guidance, you gain strategic insights and a concrete proven plan that works to increase your influence and revenue. You transform yourself and your company or department into a leading authority in your field without sacrificing your current success, personal balance, or core values.
Are you in?
“Building an online community is the easiest and fastest way to build lasting relationships, so you create a group of fans around you who can’t wait to become and remain a customer or team member.”
– Maartje Blijleven
Online community building
With the 1-1 consultancy program, you’ll receive support in making your business and/or community successful in three ways:
A. As a strategic sparring partner
B. As a partner in implementation and securing processes
C. Training and coaching employees
This ensures that the knowledge is transferred and retained within your organization.
Focus on sustainable results

Experiences
We owe our success to a large extent to what Maartje did in telling the world, internal and external, what the role is of digital for Schiphol.
Maartje really contributed to a large extent in the adoption of digital within Schiphol. And also outside. Every day we find it so difficult to express what digital actually is. A lot of people are completely clueless. But we need them to understand the benefits of digital, in order to drive a successful digital transformation.
As Chief Digital Officer at Schiphol Airport, I’ve had the pleasure to work with Maartje for almost a year. She gave digital and the digital transformation a face. Not only her personal face because she was always there to present the digital airport program. But she also gave face to the program in what we did, where we stood, internally and externally. With success. Because so many people actually said ‘I want to work for the digital airport program because it’s great. It looks great, it has great ambition, it radiates energy, it radiates excitement. This is where we want to be a part of.’ We owe that to a large extent to what Maartje did in telling the world, internal and external, what the role is of digital for Schiphol.
Maartje is a true asset to any organisation which is going through a digital transformation and want to get people on board in order to drive change. She comes with my personal recommendation.
Maartje is a true asset to executives requiring a deeper understanding of the impact digital transformation and social media has on business today.
Most CEOs have overcrowded agendas with little additional time or energy to keep ahead of developments in the digital field – social media, digital marketing, website technology and other business opportunities. If you are also overburdened with digital developments and how they impact your business, then I recommend Maartje as a coach.
Maartje has been coaching me for over a year on tech innovation and its impact on my own business. She has been instrumental in teaching me how to add value with digital strategy, marketing and social media.
I am grateful for Maartje’s ability to explain innovative technology in a way which instantly makes sense for my own work. This has enabled me to truly develop a business focused digital mindset. Avoiding pretentious buzzwords and hipster nonsense, she has clearly guided me to understand the digital world, customized for our own products.
Maartje’s way of coaching is a pleasure. It provides both a quick inroad to core solutions, and lot of positive energy. Maartje is a true asset to executives requiring a deeper understanding of the impact digital transformation and social media has on business today. I can wholeheartedly recommend her.
Maartje guided us in our internal communication at the international level we needed.
Macaw has always been a great place to work with a great community spirit where engineers, consultants, creatives and data scientists connected to go the extra mile in making our clients successful. Due to our rapid international growth and Covid-19 we needed to convert our community spirit to the next level. Maartje stepped in and guided us in our internal communication at the international level we needed. She knows and delivers with impact.
