What Nayoki does

Nayoki Performance GmbH is a privately held, owner-managed digital performance marketing agency headquartered in Munich, Germany, founded in 2004 by André Soulier. The firm operates as part of the Nayoki Group alongside wholly-owned influencer-marketing subsidiary ADDFAME GmbH and joint venture NAYOKI Mediaplus GmbH & Co. KG (formed in 2018 with SERVICEPLAN-Gruppe SE). With 100+ employees, Nayoki is described as one of the largest owner-managed digital-media agencies in Germany, serving enterprise and mid-market clients across fashion/retail, automotive, consumer goods, and B2B verticals (including BMW, Unilever, Philip Morris, bugatti, Wolford, Hiscox, and Daikin).

The company's core offering is a multi-channel performance marketing stack comprising six service lines: CRM & Email Marketing, Data Analytics & Web Tracking, SEO & Content, SEA, Affiliate Marketing, and Social Paid advertising. Underlying technology is built on third-party CRM platforms (Klaviyo, Salesforce, HubSpot), tag management systems (Google Tag Manager, Tag Commander), web analytics (Google Analytics 4, Webtrekk/Mapp, Econda), server-side tracking integrations (Meta Conversions API, Google Enhanced Conversions), and e-commerce connectors (Shopify, WooCommerce). Nayoki applies AI/ML for predictive analytics, dynamic product recommendations, automated segmentation, and generative AI-assisted copy within CRM and SEA workflows. Google Premium Partner status, plus certifications with Meta, Awin, Webgains, Criteo, Ryte, and Commanders Act, provide platform-level access and recognition.

Nayoki generates revenue through recurring monthly retainer fees (Honorare) for its own services, plus pass-through third-party media costs (Mediakosten) and performance-based affiliate fees billed on CPC, CPO, and CPL models. Distribution is direct enterprise sales with written proposals and contractual agreements; there is no self-service or marketplace channel. The company also operates the annual Digital Insights event as a demand-generation and client-retention channel and maintains an active content/blog presence for inbound lead capture.
