My role: Leading the strategic and conceptual redefinition of BITE of Amsterdam.

From audience research and KPI recalibration to storytelling and tone, developing a future-facing brand narrative that moves beyond food tasting — toward curiosity, indulgence, and connection.

The result: A repositioned brand concept: “Invite to Bite, Dare to Bite, Dare to Indulge” — experience-first, inclusive, and sensory-led
