story
Blijdorp chooses DPDK as a strategic partner
Performance marketing agency based in Rotterdam
Whatever you call it - 010, Roffa, Rotjeknor - Rotterdam is where our story began
In 2001, three ambitious minds built more than a digital agency - they built a new model: a brand innovation partner that turns strategy into systems and creativity into lasting impact.
Born in a city known for grit, clarity and directness, we grew fast. But one thing never changed, our belief that fragmentation is the enemy of great brands.
While others chase trends, we build structures. We help ambitious brands move with purpose, connect the dots across touchpoints, and grow with clarity, powered by performance marketing systems. That’s the Rotterdam mindset: no fluff, just focus and a system to back it up.
From our space near the Erasmus Bridge, we connect vision with execution. Strategy with performance. Teams with a shared story. Because in a world of change, clarity is your strongest advantage. And it all starts here.
