David van Gessel has recently joined MOQO as Operations & Creative Director. With the arrival of this experienced creative entrepreneur, the branding agency strengthens its management team and underlines its ambition to continue growing as a strategic and creative partner for brands.

David van Gessel was co-founder of Skinn for 18 years, where he helped shape the agency’s growth and the development of a wide range of brands. He now brings that experience to MOQO, where he will play a key role in the agency’s further development, both creatively and operationally.

There is a strong sense of humanity in how people work together and engage with clients. That made MOQO a logical choice for me.

“MOQO has a clear vision and the ambition to act on it,” says David van Gessel. “What appeals to me most is the opportunity to help shape the agency at every level,  from strategy and creation to how it operates and grows internally. That breadth is what makes it interesting. At the same time, there is a strong sense of humanity in how people work together and engage with clients. That made MOQO a logical choice for me. My focus will be on supporting its growth by further structuring operations and preparing the agency for the next phase.”
