The Barefoot Dutchman

Over the a period of 1.5 months, Ricardo Vegt (Camera & Edit) and I have created content from a moving bus in America, where we were fully responsible for the social media channels surrounding The Barefoot Dutchman: Anton Nootenboom. A dutch army veteran walking barefoot from Los Angeles to New York to raise awareness for Men’s Mental Health. It was a very successful period with tremendous growth.

  • From 20,000 followers to 85,000+ followers on Instagram and 270,000+ followers on TikTok. Other social media platforms also performed exceptionally well during this period.
  • More than 10 million views.
  • 6 full episodes of this adventure recorded and presented to the YouTube audience.
  • We followed Anton over 800 kilometers barefoot from Las Vegas, Nevada, to the beautiful nature in central Utah.
  • We also raised over €8,000 in donations! A fantastic start towards making a significant impact with our cause.

And last but not least, we collaborated with amazing brands like Movember, BareBarics (Be Lenka), thetoespacer, YNSIDE, and Solgar® Vitamin & Herb.
