ZERO21
Direct contact with your creative. Communication without ambiguity.
Our project philosophy is as straightforward as it is proven.
The right person for the right job, only when you need them.
A strong brand starts with a thorough understanding of how it stands on the market. We have the resources to analyse what its market is and to plan how to talk to that market.
With the right strategic knowledge, we help develop brands to build unique and lasting relationships, truly communicating the organisation's vision and values.
Valuable design is only really effective if it is based on a solid concept. Zero21 focuses on supporting and challenging a client's assignment to ensure that expectations are consistently met and exceeded.
Expert knowledge of the latest production methods coupled with an extensive network of suppliers ensures a superior quality product, every time.

Zero21 is basically Tim Leurs, and no-one else. However, for each project Tim brings together a team with the clients and the professional partners that are needed and best suited for the particular project. From copywriters and editors to brand strategists and web builders. That's how we keep our overhead low while getting the highest-possible result. This lean strategy of team creation is all about partnership and shared ownership. That's why we speak about 'we' when we talk about Zero21.
Tim has over 20 years experience in the design industry, both on the client and agency side, including time in the Netherlands and Australia. His experience includes working for brands like Amcor, Royal Boskalis Westminster, Bridgestone-Firestone, Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Dupont, KPMG, NAB, Porsche Australia and the Victorian Government, but he also always kept a soft spot for small companies and start-ups.
This vast experience, combined with an insatiable curiosity, a wealth of general knowledge and an analytical eye, makes him the inspiring and engaging partner to deliver projects that exceed the client's highest expectations.
Although on opposite sides of the world, Tim and I worked easily and closely together on the global corporate rebranding of Amcor for over six months. I wholeheartedly recommend Tim as a designer and project manager, and I hope we'll collaborate again sometime soon. It was a pleasure to work with him.
Polly Moles – Alcan Packaging
Working with Tim is a very refreshing and satisfying experience. I particularly noticed how he marries pragmatism and creativity and how he manages to make complex information transparent and accessible. I would therefore recommend him to everyone.
Leo Brons – Service Terminal Rotterdam
In recent years I have worked with Tim on behalf of various organisations. The reason why I come back to Tim every time is not only the beautiful end result, but also the way to it. You immediately notice that Tim is very capable of translating customer demand into a design. The work I got back was always "spot on"!
What I really like is that Tim also explains his choices in the design in a clear way. That makes it a lot easier to 'sell' the designs within my organisations. And that gives the best result.
Eric Kokke – GO School for Information
Tim's excellent communication skills unfold his innovative and inventive ideas. His wealth of knowledge in the advertising, way-finding and design space combined with his human-centred approach makes him consider every possible angle and its different audience types. That magical journey you take with a client creating greatness, excellence and practical transformations can only be achieved with eager, energetic and passionate creatives, like Tim.
