Founded in 2011 and based in The Netherlands, ID Est Communicatie is a consulting firm, offering communications strategy for positioning, reputation and organization.
Trust and authenticity are critical to the success of all communication processes. Putting the clients' personal identity and corporate character at the heart of everything we do is what sets ID Est Communicatie apart from many of its peers.
Not a "desired image" or "target reputation" but your beliefs, your values, your purpose and -most of all- your actions make you authentic.
Words alone are just not good enough. We develop strategies for actions that justify your words. This means that we do not just tell you what to say and how to say it; we also tell you what you can DO... to say what you want to say...
We serve individuals and companies with a stated desire to create or improve authentic communications. This includes improving personal skills, but also optimizing existing processes and structures within an organization or team.
You will get from us what we ask from you: unbiased, honest and sincere feedback. Sometimes this may be bold and direct. But it will never be boring, unreal or unfair. Colleague, conscience or counselor. We seamlessly blend in and adapt to your needs.

The name "ID Est Communicatie" comes from Latin. "Id est" is usually abbreviated to "i.e.", stands for "which is" or "which means" and is used to introduce an explanation, illustration or proof of the foregoing.
At the same time "ID" refers to the international word "identity" to illustrate that true authenticity is a prerequisite for successful communications.
