Geen output, maar resultaat. Met 27 jaar ervaring committeren we ons op je commerciële doel. Eén team van experts, één verantwoordelijkheid. Er is geen tijd te verliezen!
The content of this factsheet is in Dutch.
Iedereen heeft vandaag dezelfde tools. Het verschil zit in wie ze laat renderen. Daarom leveren wij geen output, maar resultaat: we committeren ons op je commerciële doel, met één team van technische marketeers, creatieve sales en AI-savvy contentcreators. Met 27 jaar ervaring weten we hoe je middelen maakt, en juist daarom dat middelen alleen geen omzet opleveren.
Wat wij anders doen
- We starten bij je commerciële doel, niet bij een briefing voor een middel.
- We committeren ons op resultaat, niet op een deliverable.
- Eén team, één verantwoordelijkheid, in plaats van versnippering over leveranciers
- We werken samen met je team in plaats van apart.
- We draaien náást je huidige proces. Je hoeft niets om te gooien. Eerst zien dat het werkt.
- We dragen over wat werkt, zodat je ons daarna niet meer nodig hebt
- Nieuw: we committeren ons op resultaat, niet op output
- Eén team voor marketing, sales én AI
- Geen lange contracten: per maand opzegbaar
- Beperkt aantal nieuwe trajecten per kwartaal

What this factsheet does not know
- How good the work is. Figures do not measure creativity, strategy or chemistry.
- How the client portfolio is spread. Concentration is not in the accounts.
- Freelancers and subcontractors are not in the FTE figures. An agency with 40 staff may in practice run with 70 people.
- The figures cover financial year 2025, filed on 31/07/2026. At a fast-moving agency reality today may differ.
Based on publicly filed annual accounts (NBB) and official records (CBE, Belgian Official Gazette). An indication, not financial advice. Sector medians calculated on 2 Nov 2026. Sector medians based on financial year 2025: the last year for which nearly all accounts have been filed.

Payroll cost per FTE is the best public proxy for a team's experience level. Higher is not automatically better, but it says something about who sits at the table.
Will your team stay?
Inflow and outflow from the social report. This series only counts people on the payroll: freelancers who invoice do not appear in it. A low figure therefore means two very different things, a stable permanent team or a small core with heavy outsourcing. A high figure usually points to short contracts. Compare only within the same type of agency.
