About me

David de Bruijn is a creative force who doesn't just follow culture - he helps shape it with forward thinking experiences. As Chief Creative Officer of WINK, David has spent over 15 years redefining the boundaries of experiential marketing with top brands around the world. With a sharp instinct for culturally-resonant storytelling, he has helped elevate WINK into one of the most awarded experiential agencies in Europe.

In 2024, David's creative stewardship culminated in one of the most impactful campaigns of the year: "For Every Golden Moment": a global Olympic Games experiential platform for Corona. The project swept away juries across multiple global award shows:

- Grand Prix - Global BEA Awards 2024

- Best Global Brand Activation - Campaign Awards 2025

- Best Experiential Activation - CreativeX Awards 2025

- Gold - EX Awards 2025

- Best Creative Activation - Global BEA Awards 2024

David's work doesn't just win trophies, it sets new standards and raises the bar for 'epic'. Whether crafting immersive brand worlds or designing in-the-moment-driven activations for Budweiser and the NFL, David's creative direction consistently results in not just awards - but everyone feeling damn good, too.

Beyond client work, David is committed to the future of the industry. He mentors young creatives, lectures internationally, and has served on multiple creative juries. He also spearheads NSFW Live and the WINKademy, an internal agency platform for creative knowledge-sharing designed to uplift the wider experiential community.

A relentless visionary and collaborative leader, David de Bruijn is not only shaping the present of experiential marketing - he's building it.
