Long form biography
Noah Smits is a former Top40 artist, creative entrepreneur, communication and media strategist, media personality, and above all, a true entertainer. His musical background and fascination with human behavior led to unique marketing methods that create strong connections between public figures and their fans. With this innovative approach, he has worked for names like Ed Sheeran, David Guetta, Rico Verhoeven, Afrojack, and dozens of other celebrities. He was instrumental in the careers of Snelle and Antoon and played a key role in the communication and PR surrounding high-profile issues within Cancel Culture. Thanks to his experience as a ‘spin doctor’ in such high-profile crises, Noah gained a prominent role in a showbiz program from DPG Media. There he appeared weekly as an image expert, alongside figures like Albert Verlinde, Angela de Jong, Rob Goossens, and Guido den Aantrekker. In this role, he analyzed public opinion regarding celebrities and explained which cognitive biases influenced the outspoken opinions of the public. Noah is now a sought-after speaker at universities and academies across Europe, as well as at conferences like South By Southwest (USA), Amsterdam Dance Event, and Eurosonic Noorderslag. Attendees learn from him how to communicate more consciously for more effective marketing campaigns, look critically at manipulative mass media, and how to disarm that one annoying colleague communicatively. Today, Noah supports organizations and public figures with market research, audience segmentation, behavioral design, public relations, and media campaigns through his Smidswater initiative. He ensures that these campaigns and messages resonate with the intrinsic motivations of target audiences, so they are activated from within rather than being force-fed something down their proverbial throat.
