Bram vanden Bosch.

Sports marketing student, happiest on a mountain, a tennis court or in a room full of people. From the end of January 2027, I'm looking for a graduation internship at a sports or outdoor brand. I learn marketing the way I learn everything else... by just doing it!

Fancy a cappuccino? Online works too.

(01) About

People person.Driven by challenges.Always on the move.

What I've been up to so far? Alongside my studies, I've worked at Novi Travel since 2023, where I combine sales with marketing and I'm currently building a new content strategy and website. Earlier this year I joined Talent Associates as a recruitment intern and was promoted to Senior Consultant after seven placements, which taught me how to pitch and build relationships fast. A semester in Switzerland showed me how much I enjoy stepping into the unknown and finding my way in a new place. Whether it's sport, studies or work (ideally a mix of all three), when something excites me, I go all in!

Curious to hear more? Let's grab that coffee.

Novi Travel · MARKETING · SALES · SEO & GEO

Boutique travel agency for tailor-made trips through Montenegro and Albania, from hiking the Albanian Alps and Durmitor to rafting the Tara Canyon. I started in the back office in 2023 and now handle customer contact, bookings and sales. For Albania, I'm involved in almost every booking. On my own initiative, I also started building the company's marketing from scratch.

Until a year ago, the company did no active marketing; customers simply found us. So far, I've set up email campaigns and reminder flows to strengthen customer loyalty, taken our first steps on social media, and built SEO landing pages with meta titles and descriptions written for both Google and AI search. I also help integrate Travelia, a traveller app that replaces our travel documents email with tips and live updates. For my school consultancy project, a fellow student and I are researching how the shift from search engines to AI is changing the way people book trips, and how we can respond to it next season.

Talent Associates · RECRUITMENT · SALES · POSITIONING

As a sports marketing student, recruitment wasn't the obvious choice for me, and I (secretly) had my doubts at first. But growing into a completely new industry, life sciences and food, where I had no background at all, turned out to be an exciting challenge. It was also a chance to further develop the sales skills I had only just started building at Novi Travel. I joined as a third-year intern, was promoted to Senior Consultant within six months after seven placements, and worked full hours through the summer to keep growing. The fun part is that much of what I learned there, from phone techniques and asking the right questions to guiding someone through the whole process and following up, I now use at Novi Travel as well.

Alongside daily recruitment, I took on three projects of my own. I rewrote our InMail templates and call script, which are now used by the whole team and noticeably raised our response rate. I ran a full recruitment process for a biotech client, from 310 sourced candidates to a successful introduction. And I developed a sports marketing concept to make the company's sporty culture visible to future talent. Interviews with colleagues, a manager and a former employee, plus a competitor analysis, showed that sport works best as a supporting argument, not the headline. That became a new positioning, a LinkedIn post, an internship ad and a vacancy text.

Op de Hoek · Waiter & Shift Lead

Op de Hoek · HOSPITALITY · GUEST CONTACT

A non-corporate side step...

Op de Hoek, a seasonal restaurant in Bakkum where I work as a waiter from April to October. I keep coming back every season because I enjoy the contact with guests, the team and the location.

So why is it part of my portfolio? Because three seasons taught me a lot. Staying calm and focused under time pressure on busy summer evenings, and reading guests to find the right way to approach them. This season, my third, I also took on a leading role. I ran shifts, divided the floor, trained new colleagues and was responsible for closing up. And making sure guests have a great time still gives me energy!

During my minor in Switzerland, I also waited tables at Papa Oro's, to experience working abroad, not just studying there.

Personally

Curious, ambitious and eager to learn

Whether I'm somewhere new or somewhere familiar, I feel comfortable asking questions, and I actively look for feedback and try to put it into practice straight away. I feel at home in a team, and I'm happy to start small and work my way up. So far, that has given me more responsibility step by step at the places I've worked.

What drives me most is starting something from scratch and building it with a team of creative people, people I can learn from and who hopefully get something from me in return. Most days start early and active, before I open my laptop, head to uni or the office. A better start is an active start!

Where I want to grow? Seeing how a sports or outdoor brand really works from the inside, from the first idea to a campaign that goes live. Learning how to position a brand so it stands out. And turning creative ideas into results you can actually measure.
