You can read about how Megawatt turned this \u2018rocky start\u2019 into the best result in ten years here. <\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the beginning of 2024, Megawatt not only launched a renewed proposition but also merged the three previously separate agencies into one powerful Megawatt. This was a crucial step towards becoming the leading 360\u00ba activation agency in the Netherlands. This unique proposition turned out to be a bullseye, but the changes also brought challenges. \u201cWe grew rapidly, created a middle management layer, and I took a step back from the daily operations as CEO,\u201d Stephan explains. All of this was carried out according to the scale-up methodology, which is particularly successful when the right people are in the right positions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are not a corporate!<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the beginning of 2025, a turning point was reached. \u201cWe had become too \u2018corporate\u2019, whereas we are actually an energetic and entrepreneurial team. Those two ingredients are essential for our success,\u201d Stephan explains. \u201cI began to focus exactly on what I excel at as an entrepreneur and what has made me successful,\u201d he continues. Emphasising operational excellence, commercial growth, steering based on key performance indicators (KPIs), and increasing seniority marked the transition towards maturity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All of this was driven by a clear goal and motto for 2025: the expansion of the client portfolio! We were invited to numerous pitches and won many of them. As a result, this year we had the privilege of welcoming new clients such as Heineken, Desperados, Swiss Sense, Arriva, ESN, Haribo, C&A, and Chio.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFor 2026, the annual theme has been set: f***ing happy clients. With the entire portfolio, which includes brands such as Coca-Cola Company, Netflix, Nederlandse Loterij, Chiquita, Arla, and Izico, I want us to have our full focus on our clients’ campaigns in 2026,\u201d says Stephan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And internally? Megawatt is returning to its infectious and powerful foundation: energy. Supercharge yourself, your team, and your client. \u201cThat\u2019s how we turned around 2025, and we are going to make 2026 even more successful with this,\u201d says Stephan Kwast.
