Thank You Big Orange

About a month ago, on a friday afternoon, I payed a visit to the Utrecht department of Big Orange, a company that has provided sound for lots of commercials and tv-programmes such as Geert Mak- In Europa (VPRO).

Once I had arrived at the adress, I was kindly welcomed by Vincent  and Jos.

I had planned to just hand them my showcase and ask them to write some feedback at a later time if they wished, fearing they would be quite busy on a friday afternoon.

I was amazed at their openess, and it seems I was in the right place, at the right time.

They actually sat me down for a whopping 55 minute talk!

Vincent and Jos shared with me their regarded opininion on my showcase, which brought about lots of useful tips, tricks, methods and the like.

These are things that would’ve taken me months, possibly longer to figure out by myself, let alone notice in the first place.

Therefore, I would love to hereby show my gratitude by saying,

thank you and the best of luck Big Orange!

This also goes to show, one should not be afraid to take a chance every now and then. By delivering your showcase by hand, and meeting face to face with those you idealize, they might hand you a ladder to reach for the stars. I realize that not all meetings will be like this, because somedays you simply don’t bring a ladder to work.
