Netherlands

A remote studio for Dutch brands, without the Amsterdam agency markup.

Geen flauwekul. The work, the rate, the dates, in writing.

We are a remote content and performance studio for Dutch brands. Social, content, creators and paid as one senior-led stack, agency-grade work for founders in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Eindhoven who want the standard the bigger agencies sell, without the canal-house overhead, the account layers, or the long-form proposals.

01 / Brief

The Dutch brief, in five lines

  • You are paying an Amsterdam agency the equivalent of a senior salary every month, and most of it funds their Herengracht office, not your output.
  • The deliverables landed. The outcome did not. Three reels and a strategy doc, none of which moved a number.
  • Your in-house marketer speaks Dutch, English and German fluently, and is somehow also expected to be a video editor by Friday.
  • Freelancers in NL are pricey too, and now you are the project manager, the editor and the one chasing files after dinner.
  • You need social, content, influencer and paid to talk to each other. Right now they sit in four different invoicing tools.

02 / Context

Why Amsterdam agency rates do not match the work

The Netherlands is one of the highest-value English-speaking markets in Europe and one of the most over-agencied. Amsterdam pricing has been quietly pulled up by a decade of global brand HQs setting up in town (Booking, Adidas, Tesla, Heineken), and the local agency rate cards followed. For a Dutch D2C or B2B brand doing real numbers but not multinational numbers, the math at a mid-tier Amsterdam agency rarely works. You end up subsidising a structure designed for enterprise. Add a small home market (17 million people with serious buying power but no margin for wasted spend), and the case for a remote, senior studio is straightforward: pay for the work, not for the office on the Herengracht.

03 / How

How we work with Dutch brands

Remote-first, senior-led, English-native. The same senior team runs your account end to end, strategy, social, content, creators and paid as one connected stack, so paid is amplifying a post the content already proved. We work on calls when a brief needs a room and async the rest of the time, on a shared board with our day overlapping your afternoon. Because Dutch professionals operate in English at near-native fluency, there is no translation layer, we write for your voice the way your team writes for theirs. Where a campaign genuinely needs Dutch idiom or local nuance, we bring in a native copy partner; that is briefed, not improvised.

04 / Outcome

What you actually get

Agency-grade output at a fraction of an Amsterdam retainer, with a clear euro-by-euro line of sight to what spend returned. Content that ships looking like the deck it was sold in. A senior contact who answers directly, not a junior chasing approval up the chain. And one team that owns the result, not four vendors invoicing separately.

Local questions

Real questions from Dutch founders

New Delhi. We work remotely with Dutch brands on a weekly call plus a shared board, with our hours overlapping your working day. For shoots, our crew travels or we partner with a vetted Dutch production team, budgeted upfront.

English by default, the Netherlands is one of the most English-fluent markets in Europe and most of our Dutch clients ship in English first. When a campaign needs native Dutch copy or specific local idiom, we bring in a vetted Dutch copy partner. That is part of the brief, not an afterthought.

Yes, Dutch business culture is already remote-fluent and direct. You get senior people on every deliverable, faster turnarounds because there is no account layer between you and the makers, and the same time-zone overlap you would have with a Berlin or Madrid partner.

It depends on scope, one stream is priced differently to the full stack, and a one-off campaign or shoot is different again. What we can promise is that you are paying for the work, not for an Amsterdam canal-house lease or a 30-person org chart. We will tell you on the first call what is realistic inside your budget.

Yes. We have inherited live accounts and in-house handovers across markets. The first 30 days are a quiet audit and rebuild, we learn the brand, fix what is leaking, then ship.
