# About About us # Working together on what really matters We are Mars, a B2B digital agency based in the Houthavens of Amsterdam. Our team loves working with companies that are building a better tomorrow. We believe digital only works when it feels human. It’s in the way we work: a close and committed team, together with our clients. With clarity, care and joy. ![Mars team working at desks with a kanban sticky note board behind them](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/team_large_3@2x-1.webp) ![Mars colleagues smiling while working together at office desks with laptops](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Screenshot-2024-07-22-at-12.57.50-1-1760x1173.webp) ![Mars design team reviewing color swatches and brand moodboards together](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Mars-media-sfeerbeelden-16-1-1760x1173.webp) ![Two Mars colleagues in conversation at a meeting table in the office](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Mars-media-sfeerbeelden-22-1-1760x1173.webp) ![Mars colleagues brainstorming together with colorful sticky notes at the office](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Mars-media-sfeerbeelden-26-1-1-1760x1173.webp) Who we are ## A digital agency for innovators For over two decades, we have supported organisations that work on meaningful progress.

No vague processes, no unnecessary layers. At Mars, you’re working with a team that communicates openly, takes responsibility and makes things easier. From first call to delivery and after, you can count on clear contact to keeps everything on track. We make it work, so you can focus on your mission. ![A rocket travels from You to Mars along a dashed mission path](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/strategie-1.webp) What we believe ## Technology serves progress, not the other way around We work with organisations improving the quality of life, from biotech and life sciences to sustainable energy and advanced technology. Their work requires accuracy, clarity and responsibility. We approach digital with the same mindset. Technology and AI help us tell their story in a clear and grounded way, but people and purpose remain the foundation of everything we create. ![Illustrated Mars rocket launching upward, symbolizing innovation and momentum](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/innovate.webp) ## Meet our team of talented Martians ![Photo from the owner Michel webdesign Amsterdam](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/michel02-1.webp) ### Michel Kobus Founder & Creative director ![Daan Winkeler, UX/UI Designer at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/daan-02-1.webp) ### Daan Winkeler UX/UI Designer ![Hilde Krook, brand designer at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/hilde-02-1.webp) ### Hilde Krook Brand designer ![Sven Kaptein, partner and head of development at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/sven-02-1.webp) ### Sven Kaptein Partner & Head of Development ![Photo from our experienced developer Rob](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rob-01.webp) ### Rob van den Bogaert Web developer ![Nelson Eggermont, Design & UX at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/nelson-02-1.webp) ### Nelson Eggermont Design & UX ![Wiesje van Ratingen, Project & Marketing Manager at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/team-photo-Wiesje-rectangle.webp) ### Wiesje van Ratingen Project & Marketing Manager ![Robin Wist, web developer at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/robin-02-1.webp) ### Robin Wist Web developer ![Roos de Jonge, Web developer at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Roos@4x-1.webp) ### Roos de Jonge Web developer ![Romy Jongkees, Junior Developer at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Team-foto-Romy.webp) ### Romy Jongkees Junior developer ![Brenda Kaptein, Finance & HR at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Brenda-1-1760x2200.webp) ### Brenda Kaptein Finance & HR ![Sander Oudejans, junior designer at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/team-sander-2.webp) ### Sander Oudejans Junior designer ![Oscar Simons, marketing specialist at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/oscar-02-1.webp) ### Oscar Simons Marketing specialist ![Maaike Zwiers, content editor at Mars](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Maaike-profielfoto-1.webp) ### Maaike Zwiers Content editor ![Default placeholder avatar icon for team member profiles without a photo](https://www.marsmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/profile-1-1-1760x2200.webp) ### You Join our team 0 Wall of Fame post-its’s 0 Champie moments 0 + Websites launched 0 Average shoe size ## Join our Mission to Mars Always wanted to be an astronaut?
