Performance Marketing agency in Rotterdam.

TL;DR
We manage Google, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Meta campaigns to booked calls and pipeline, not impressions. Full-funnel tracking and weekly revenue reporting included.
Europe's largest port and Dutch industrial-tech hub
Performance Marketing built for how Rotterdam operators actually buy
Rotterdam runs at a different beat than Amsterdam. More industrial, more port-economy adjacent, less startup-noise. Xpand Media brings the AI-native stack to founders who care about pipeline reporting and weekly numbers, not pitch decks and quarterly retainers. Direct, fast, no fluff.
Rotterdam Port is the largest in Europe ($560B+ annual cargo). Strong logistics, energy, and industrial-SaaS ecosystem. Less VC density than Amsterdam, more late-stage operating businesses.
You are spending $10K-50K/month on ads but you cannot tell which clicks turn into revenue. Your agency sends pretty reports, but your demo calendar is still half-empty. Your tracking is broken, your attribution is guesswork, and every week you wait, your CAC goes up. Sound familiar?

What Rotterdam founders run into
Industrial buyers run longer cycles
Logistics, maritime, energy, and industrial SaaS sales cycles run 6-9 months. Outbound + content + GEO must compound across that timeline.
Less VC density than Amsterdam
Rotterdam founders often bootstrap longer or take strategic over financial capital. Marketing efficiency matters disproportionately.
B2B-heavy market
Less consumer-DTC density than Amsterdam. Channel mix skews LinkedIn + Google Ads + programmatic. Less TikTok/Meta volume.
Cross-Benelux + DACH expansion required
Rotterdam founders rarely scale to $20M+ ARR domestically. Multi-language, multi-channel is mandatory.
How we reach buyers in Rotterdam
Industrial Dutch B2B leans LinkedIn + programmatic + Bing for older-skewing professional buyers. Less Meta/TikTok than consumer Amsterdam mix.
Performance Marketing in Rotterdam
How long until I see results?
Most clients see measurable improvements within 30 days. Full optimization cycles typically take 60-90 days for mature accounts.
What is the minimum ad budget?
We work best with clients spending $5,000+ per month on ads. Below that, the math on agency fees does not make sense for either of us.
Do you lock us into a long contract?
No. We work on rolling monthly agreements. If we are not delivering, you should not be stuck. That said, most clients stay 12+ months because the results compound.
How is this different from my current agency?
We report on pipeline and revenue, not clicks and impressions. We set up proper tracking before we touch a campaign. And we use AI to automate the reporting and optimization work that most agencies do manually.
Do you work with Rotterdam-based companies?
Yes. Most Rotterdam engagements run for logistics SaaS, industrial tech, climate-tech, and B2B SaaS. Same Dutch operating cadence as Amsterdam: weekly reporting, monthly retros, no fluff.
Can you handle industrial B2B GTM?
Yes. Industrial buyer journeys (port operators, energy companies, manufacturers) run longer cycles with multi-stakeholder evaluation. Content + LinkedIn + GEO compound across those timelines.
Do you support Dutch-language content?
Where channel demands. Most Rotterdam B2B operates English-default given international buyer mix. Dutch layered for domestic and EU-specific SEO.
How does cross-EU expansion work?
Multi-language content (DE, FR, ES depending on target), multi-currency reporting, channel mix tuned for each market. Rotterdam → DACH is a common engagement profile.
What sectors fit best?
Logistics + maritime SaaS, industrial tech, climate-tech, B2B SaaS scaling EU. Less effective for pure consumer-DTC or pre-PMF companies.
How does payment work?
Service contracts via UAE entity. Payment in EUR or USD via wire or card. Most Rotterdam clients prefer EUR for EU operations. Retainer-based with quarterly checkpoints.
