We sell great stories
The Content Exchange is Joris van Lierop and Tom Schenkenberg’s initiative. Together we developed the idea of The Content Exchange, a ‘public CMS’ to which everyone has access.
Team TCE consists of media professionals, experienced developers, and passionate marketers. We are building a network of storytellers, news hunters, publishers, producers, and content marketers who work together to share stories and create something valuable. Every day we want to make TCE a bit better with our users. If you have any ideas, let us know!

By creating a place where editors are connected, editors can work together to protect rights and support revenue models.
- Joris van Lierop, Managing Director, The Content Exchange
Breaking news is published 24/7, the red carpet, the front line, the trading floor, the stadium, the White House, the town hall. There is no editorial staff to cover it all. Many good stories remain hidden gems. Other good stories go viral without the creator seeing anything in return. Some stories are rewritten 100 times, so other good stories are never told.
The Content Exchange brings creators and publishers together. By doing business directly with each other, we can produce, publish and distribute more stories together. This partnership creates a better earnings model for good stories that need to be shared.
