“Marcel is, among other things, a visionary event organiser. I haven’t come across anyone else who is thinking in such a creative way about how to engage an audience with interesting ideas and personalities. Mastermundo is a seriously cool event.”

“Most people are “doers”-they do what they are told. Marcel is one of the few who are “makers”. Marcel makes things happen and is a powerful and positive force in the world. His work first creating then managing Mastermundo 2007 was fantastic. He left me a very, very impressed participant. I would like to work with Marcel again in the future and couldn’t recommend him any more highly.”

“What can i say … There’s no limit to Marcel’s energy in starting new things! He’s the one to ask if you have a mission but not the creativity to start.”

“How can you add anything substantial to this profile, that doesn’t seem to end? Marcel is a walking harddisk with great people skills and accompanying glasses. Just meet him. Marcel recommends himself.”

“Marcel is a perfect example of cultural catalyst and forward thinking creative head. The opportunities Marcel has created for the Texelse Boys Network have been I am sure Life transforming experiences for everyone. You need a creative laboratory! In any shape our form. Marcel is the man. He doesn’t only respect and stimulate the creative minds. He makes sure you have all you need to do your own research and development. The end results was pure and experimental. Magical and an eye opener for the audience. Creativity at its purest state. Humble and friendly. What ever projects we have worked on together! It as always been a pleasure to collaborate with Marcel. And I believe he is the man to set new standards for creative collaborations in commercial and experimental creative spheres. I am looking forward to collaborate with him again!”

“As a projectmanager for the Lowlands festival, I asked Marcel to program and produce the Texelse Boys Playground at the Lowlands Festival 2005. It was a rollercoaster project that was way ahead of its time with the introduction of things like the SMS-novel and it’s aim to co-create and share ideas and creativity between artists and audience, long before the current participation-hype. Marcel turned out to be a very pleasant non-stop source of creativity. I would not say he thinks out-of-the-box, I would say he thinks 7 years ahead of what once will be a box. After Lowlands 2005 I continued to meet and speak with Marcel on a regular basis, and hopefully this will sometime result in a new project.”

“Marcel Kampman is one of those truly inspiring people, with a buzzing creative spirit – unstoppable. When at home relaxing, he’s still bubbling with ideas, thinking of ways to make it happen. Marcel loves figuring out how life works, how we relate to one-another, move and interact with our surroundings. He is facinated with new technology on many levels, an incredible fast thinker, sharp and smart in recognizing possibilities to make our time on this beautiful planet really worthwhile and specially….great fun! He’s a good team player, knows everybody in the business and introduces the ones that matter. Marcel is a great, fun guy to be with – his work is his playground, never acting small but from a world of abundance. Aware of what’s really important in life. Yin Yang.”

“I am glad that I had the opportunity of working with Marcel, it was very inspiring and great fun. With his high energy level, he is 10 steps ahead of the pack, producing a ton of creative ideas and concepts. If only half of his visions would be put into action by his clients, we could change the world.”
