Storytelling has been around forever because it works
Author: sitorusrina
Balancing my Indonesian roots in the Netherlands with my Dutch side in Indonesia has its perks! With a unique blend of experience as a journalist, PR person, and lecturer, I've got the superpower of making content pop. 🚀
For two fun-filled decades, I've rocked the worlds of journalism, copywriting, PR, and media relations, both online and offline. I've danced through multinational media, entertainment, and non-profit realms. 💃🌟
About six years back, I decided to give my career a wild twist and ventured into the land of lecturing at HAN University of Applied Sciences. 📚 It's been a blast, and I've never looked back.
But you know what? Sometimes I still crave those good old writing adventures, like fascinating features and intriguing interviews. If you've got any exciting (writing) projects in mind, feel free to drop me a line. Let's create some magic together! 📝💫

An Interview with Annebeth Webb: Concertgebouw player and mother of four violinists

The Mozart Brand
Mozart’s image has been reproduced more than any other composer in the classical world. The Mozart ‘brand’ began in the 19th century with the balls of pistachio-flavoured marzipan covered in nougat inside a layer of chocolate, known as Mozartkugeln. The most frequently reproduced portrait of Mozart was painted by Barbara Kraft, 30 years after Mozart’s…
