Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland
Social media agency Rotterdam
Rotterdam is a working city: the port, logistics, construction, engineering and manufacturing set the tone for business. We make content that fits that, without fuss and with footage from the shop floor.
The city
Doing business in Rotterdam
The Rotterdam economy turns on goods that are actually moved, built and made. The port attracts logistics, maritime services, storage and transhipment, engineering and energy, and around it sits a dense layer of suppliers: transport companies, installers, machine builders, maintenance businesses and specialised advisers. For these businesses social media is rarely only a brand channel; it is often just as much a recruitment channel, because skilled people are scarce.
The city is also constantly building and rebuilding. Areas such as the Kop van Zuid, Merwe-Vierhavens and the districts around the centre produce continuous work for construction firms, contractors, architects and installation companies. That gives an enormous supply of visual material: demolition, structural work, handover. Exactly the kind of content that performs well on Instagram and LinkedIn, as long as it is shared regularly and with a story rather than as a single photo.
The Rotterdam tone is direct. Big words and vague promises tend to work against you here. Content that shows what you do, who does it and what it delivers works better than content that mainly talks about ambition. We take that into account in the language: short sentences, concrete examples and no empty superlatives.

Sectors
Where we make the most difference in Rotterdam
What works differs per sector: the channel, the tone and the kind of content. Below you can see how we fill that in for this region.
Construction and contracting
Continuous projects in the city and the region produce material for project videos, progress updates and handover posts. For contractors that is at the same time the strongest way to reach new skilled workers.
More about this sectorInstallation and engineering
Installers, maintenance businesses and technical suppliers around the port and industry. Explaining installations, breakdowns and maintenance works better here than general company promotion.
More about this sectorLogistics and professional services
Transport, freight forwarding, customs advice and maritime services. LinkedIn is the main channel here, with content about regulations, capacity and the people doing the work.
More about this sectorCar businesses and mobility
Garages, commercial vehicle specialists and leasing companies serve both private clients and fleets. Content about used cars, servicing and commercial vehicles appeals to both groups.
More about this sectorHospitality and retail in the districts
From the centre to Kralingen and Delfshaven. For these businesses local reach is what counts: opening hours, promotions and atmosphere aimed at people within cycling distance.

Sound familiar?
This is what we hear from business owners in Rotterdam
You have footage on site or in the workshop every day, but nothing of it comes back on your channels.
Vacancies stay open for a long time, while the people you are looking for are on social media.
Your posts are about the company in general and not about the work you really do.
Clients in Schiedam, Capelle or Barendrecht do not know you, even though you work there.
Our approach
What we do in practice for businesses in Rotterdam
- 01
Making use of footage from the shop floor
We agree how your people supply material, for example through a shared folder or WhatsApp. We turn that into usable Reels, videos and posts without it costing your crews time.
- 02
Content that also recruits
In engineering and construction your future colleague is watching. That is why we build vacancy content and shop floor content into the calendar, so your channel also pays off in the labour market.
- 03
Direct language, no empty promises
We write concretely: what happened, what the problem was and how it was solved. We do not include results or figures you cannot back up.
- 04
Visibility across the whole Rijnmond region
Your service area often runs from Vlaardingen to Ridderkerk. We set up advertising and local search details for that area instead of the city boundary.
- 05
One contact person and a monthly report
You have one point of contact and see in the client portal each month which content delivered the most reach, replies and enquiries.
