The Essential List: Hans Brouwer
Culture, tech, travel and some peng munch from MassiveMusic founder Hans Brouwer
Today we’re launching a new regular feature on LBB and it’s called The Essential List. The Essential List really is what it says on the tin: a list of the day-to-day essentials that some of the biggest names in adland can’t live without, offering a snappy short route into participants’ minds.
To kick things off for week one, our debutant is Hans Brouwer, the founder and CEO of MassiveMusic. Hans founded the company in his hometown of Amsterdam in 2000 and since then has overseen its international evolution into Berlin, London, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Shanghai. 2013 saw him become one of the co-developers and founding partners of the A’DAM Tower, a project which he and his partners are aiming to turn into the city’s musical and creative centre point and Amsterdam’s most sought after vantage point. It boasts a revolving restaurant, 360-degree observation deck, panoramic bar, another restaurant and a members club. Hans, when can we move in?
Anyway, before we give away all the details, it’s over to Hans.
