I change companies to be more about acts, not ads.

The best brands don’t just communicate; they act.
I help organizations rethink how they behave and engage with customers by creating meaningful experiences. Curious?

Polle de Maagt

I’ve had the privilege of working with some amazing global brands that don’t just talk about change—they do make it happen.

What i do

I work with great people, teams and organizations to get more stuff done.

I tend to do whatever is necessary to get the job done, but you could categorise it in three distinct areas: storytelling, strategy and ways of working.

How I work

Whatever gets the job done.

Transformation isn’t about having the perfect theory—it’s about turning ideas into real, tangible change. I take a practical, collaborative approach, blending principles from design thinking, agile ways of working, service design, and behavioral psychology to fit the challenge at hand. No rigid frameworks, no one-size-fits-all solutions—just the right tools, applied in the right way, with the right people. Because real impact happens when teams think, create, and act together.

About me, Polle de Maagt.

Live with an open mind to experience more.

In late 2015, I almost died of a kidney rupture and a lung infection – it changed my perspective on life profoundly. 

First, I decided to make as many beautiful memories as possible. I started to explore more of the world and did solo thru hikes through Greenland and the Jordan desert. But also, I started living more intentionally with my kids – less iPads, more blanket castles and dancing in the rain.

Second, I decided to take less nonsense. To not accept the horrible relationship between brands and people. I started doing fewer meetings and more doings. Fewer powerpoints, more doing stuff.

And more than ever, I am obsessed with changing companies to be less about ads and more about actsImpact is about doingStart doing more.
