We are Stroom

STROOM is a media and performance agency with energy for growth.
Our driver is Mediacommerce: the optimal balance between branding and performance, for short-term results and long-term growth.

The most impactful and accountable media advice comes from an integrated approach and analysis of market, brand and media. We offer media strategy, planning and buying based on insights, research and data, plus e-commerce, marketing performance and DtoC solutions. This makes STROOM the best and most complete local agency as an alternative to the large international networks.

STROOM is "big enough to cope, and small enough to care," because media is "people work." Our personal and energetic approach is appreciated: we have been elected Bureau of the Year four years in a row by EMERCE, MT1000 and FONK.

We work for national and international A-brands such as ENGIE, Nintendo, DPG, Hero, Omoda, Univé, Amazon Ring, Dé VakantieDiscounter, Maxi-Cosi, Blokker, Delta Fiber, Bosch Siemens Household Appliances, Dille & Kamille, AFAS software, PwC, Playmobil, Makro and Bike Totaal. Our agency has offices in Amsterdam and Rotterdam and is part of the Candid platform.

We believe that sustainable growth comes from integrating branding and performance marketing from the beginning. Every brand eventually reaches a growth ceiling, where additional investment yields diminishing returns in terms of reach and revenue. Mediacommerce is a customized solution that allows us to break through and ideally prevent our clients' growth ceiling. A data-driven approach makes media investments fully accountable, with business results leading the way.

For some brands, used to working from a performance marketing perspective (bottom-up), this means finding new ways for growth using branding and ATL media. But often this seems like a big investment without the promise of short-term results. We help chart both short-term and long-term results.

For other brands, accustomed to a more top-down method, this often means that their performance marketing machine is not working properly, or is not well integrated. These brands are used to ATL media but reach a level where it seems they are primarily growing the category, without seeing growth in customers and revenue themselves.

As a full service media agency, media strategy, planning and buying is the core of our expertise. We develop integrated media strategies across all channels, from online to offline, with the goal of reaching the right target group at the right time with the most relevant message at the right price. We do this for all medium types (analog and digital): TV, online video, cinema, radio, podcasts, outdoor advertising, dailies, magazines, door-to-door magazines, leaflets, display advertising, social media, influencer marketing, SEA, SEO, affiliate marketing and content partnerships.

Resulting in a continuous process of well-organized administration, optimization and evaluation of campaigns.

For data-driven advertisers who want advice, insight and oversight of their digital campaigns. We are specialists in e-commerce and performance consulting.

STROOM is a strategic partner guiding clients in their digital transformation and media strategy. We have far-reaching expertise in performance marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), search engine advertising (SEA) and digital consulting. We advise on the use of data-driven marketing and advanced analytics techniques to continuously optimize campaigns to achieve better results.

As STROOM , we ideally work closely together in the triangle of client, advertising and media agency. The ever-changing media landscape is our home: we know all the possibilities and developments in media. Because, as a media expert, we also have brand and marketing communications expertise in-house, we can optimize the triangle. We analyze media, brand and marketing communications. Because the better we understand the entire communication strategy, the more effective the media advice will be. In this way, we help you grow the business, and if the business grows, we grow with it.

A unique aspect lies in the commitment of our team: the consultants. Everyone is easily accessible and focuses with energy on achieving the client's goals. Some of them, such as De Hypotheker, CêlaVíta, DierenLot and Univé, have been with us for around 10 years, which is quite special.

The new agency works jointly for national and international A-brands such as Nintendo, DPG, Hero, Omoda, Amazon Ring, Vakantiediscounter, Maxi-Cosi, Blokker, Delta Fiber, BSH, Dille & Kamille, AFAS software, PwC, Playmobil, Makro and Bike Totaal.
