What 050Media does

050Media (legal entity 050media B.V.) is a private Dutch online marketing agency headquartered in Groningen, Netherlands, founded in 2013 and operating as a subsidiary of WindroseHQ. The firm offers an integrated suite of digital marketing services to mid-market e-commerce companies — covering Search Advertising (SEA on Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising), Search Engine Optimization (technical SEO, content, and linkbuilding), Social Advertising (Meta, Pinterest, LinkedIn, TikTok), E-mailmarketing (delivered via Klaviyo as both campaign tool and Customer Data Platform), and Marketplace management (Bol.com, Amazon, eBay, comparison sites via Channable and ChannelEngine), with concurrent Shopify webshop design and development services. Technology assets include a proprietary CMS platform (Zilver) developed by parent WindroseHQ with multi-language support for international rollouts, and internally built Custom GPT models such as 'Locaties GPT' and a 'Linkbuilding Blog Generator' that are trained on client-specific tone-of-voice and SEO requirements to accelerate content production under human specialist review.

Commercially, 050Media runs a professional services model with quote-based, package-priced engagements and a freemium 'Gratis Marketing Scan' as the primary lead generation entry point. The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, anchored by direct client engagement, case study presentations, and recurring specialist account management with weekly updates. The firm holds differentiated platform credentials: Channable Gold Partner, Google Premier Partner, Meta Marketing Partner, and Microsoft Advertising Partner, alongside a Klaviyo integration and Returnless return-process automation partnership. Customer mix spans enterprise and mid-market Dutch and selected DACH e-commerce companies, with notable multi-year relationships including ETQ Amsterdam (12+ years), Wovar, Groothandel Wiljan (since 2017), Vechtsportonline, and Afdekzeilwinkel (since 2014); the parent group's own consumer brands ETQ Amsterdam and TOV Essentials provide an internal product-feedback loop for the agency's e-commerce practice.
