With over 25 years of experience of giving motivational speeches, Erik was a managing director of BBDO Direct when he gave his first talk to an international audience in 1985. The topic of his speech was 'Senior Citizens: A Sleeping Giant' but he decided to incorporate music to make the talk more lively. With many requests to attend more conferences after his performance at the Montreux Direct Marketing Symposium, he decided to give up advertising and build a career as a full-time professional speaker.
By 1988, he had founded Erik Van Vooren Direct Marketing Institute. He presents in Dutch, French, English and German to inspire businesses internationally regarding their approach to leadership, motivation, teamwork, stress management, customer service and loyalty.
With a degree in Business Economics, a post-graduate degree in Marketing Management, and a place in the Hall of Frame of the Belgian Direct Marketing Association, there is no better motivational speaker to help inspire businesses looking to transform entirely or even those who need a simple morale boost.
