Drerrie voor Den Haag
Co-founder and brand owner of Drerrie voor Den Haag, responsible for brand strategy, campaign leadership, design, copywriting, and political positioning, aimed at engaging young people in local democracy through a direct and recognizable voice.
Building a political movement that speaks with young people The objective was to develop a complete political brand and campaign platform capable of reaching young residents who often feel disconnected from traditional local politics. This required more than designing a logo or producing campaign materials. The work included defining the movement’s positioning, translating policy into clear messages, creating a coherent visual identity and building a communication system that could operate across social media, public space, events and grassroots campaigning.
Making politics accessible without making it superficial Traditional political communication often feels distant, overly formal and disconnected from the everyday reality of young people. At the same time, simplifying complex issues too far risks weakening credibility and turning meaningful policy into empty campaign slogans. Humanity has somehow made both bureaucracy and oversimplification equally exhausting. The central challenge was to balance political seriousness with cultural relevance. The movement needed to feel bold, direct and recognisable, while remaining credible enough to represent real policy, build public trust and grow into a sustainable political organisation.
I created a bold and accessible political identity that translates complex local issues into communication young people can immediately understand and engage with. The solution included the movement’s positioning, visual identity, campaign language, policy communication and digital presence. A flexible design system allowed the brand to operate consistently across social media, public campaigns, events, video content and grassroots activations. Rather than asking young people to adapt to traditional political communication, Drerrie voor Den Haag brought politics into their visual culture, language and everyday environment, while retaining the substance needed to function as a credible political movement.
The project transformed an early political initiative into a coherent public-facing movement with a distinct identity, clear positioning and a structured communication platform. Drerrie voor Den Haag gained the visual and strategic foundation needed to communicate policy, organise supporters and engage young residents across campaigns, events, social media and public space. The result was a political brand that could address serious local issues without adopting the distant language and aesthetics of traditional politics.
