GLOBALLY COOL history
Globally Cool is the result of a merger between iD Consultancy and Facts Figures Future (2012).
1990
Since 1990, Alfons van Duijvenbode set-up and managed a number of independent companies. Including:
Profound (international market research and business advisory services)
LinkTank (web development and e-business applications)
iD Consultancy (international marketing management, trade information services and systems)
1999
In 1999, the other two partners Onno Roukensand Joost van der Kooij founded their market research company Facts Figures Future (FFF). Onno, at that time a professor at the Northern University of Leeuwarden, picked Joost as one of his better students. And that’s how it started.
2012
The three partners decided to merge their companies. Globally Cool was born! The team of international marketing and trade consultants was extended and the international network of Globally Associates established. A great expansion of our capacity for trade consulting, connecting and coaching.
2016
Hello Leeuwarden! Globally Cool moved its headquarters up North to boost its networking with the local and provincial government and knowledge centres like the NHL Stenden University in the city.
2019
We build a dedicated marketing communication team to provide more services to our clients in the area of digital marketing and content marketing.
