About Team1719

Team1719 was built from a simple idea: great stories don’t just inform, they travel.

Founded by Eric van Damme, Team1719 helps B2B tech companies turn complex ideas into narratives that resonate across markets, audiences and cultures.

With a background spanning media, television, digital marketing and international communications, Eric brings a different perspective to traditional PR. His work sits at the intersection of storytelling, strategy and relationships, built over years of working with journalists, analysts and editors across Europe.

From securing international TV coverage with the BBC, to placing thought leadership in publications such as Les Echos, BFM Business, Bloomberg or tier-one business media, the approach remains the same: simplify complexity, find the angle that matters, and make it relevant beyond the niche.

Team1719 operates as a flexible, senior-led model, connecting the right people, markets and media at the right time. As the agency expands towards LATAM, the focus remains on building visibility, credibility and impact for tech brands navigating competitive and fragmented landscapes.

At its core, Team1719 is about clarity, momentum and making ideas travel further.
