Proficio Marketing

What Proficio Marketing does

Proficio Marketing s.r.o. is a founder-owned private limited company (IČO: 01749315) headquartered in Prague and operating its largest office in Brno, founded in 2012 by Petr Halík (CEO) and Lenka Halíková. The company functions as a full-service marketing, consulting, and technology group organized around three pillars: Marketing Services (strategy, digital advertising including PPC, programmatic/RTB, paid social, video, and affiliate, plus SEO/UX/analytics, creative and content, and e-commerce), Consulting Services (Operational Excellence, Business Intelligence, Data Science, and Digital Transformation), and Technology Services (ads management, BI tools, marketing automation, e-commerce platforms, analytics, user testing, affiliate and marketplaces, process automation, and ERP). Service delivery relies on a wide stack of partner-certified platforms including the full Google Marketing Platform (DV360, CM360, Studio, Surveys 360, Search Ads 360), Meta Business Manager, Microsoft Advertising, Seznam Sklik, plus BI tooling such as PowerBI, BigQuery, and various marketing-automation, e-commerce, and brand-safety integrations (DoubleVerify, IAS, Adloox). A proprietary diagnostic called DiagnostiQ and a proprietary Sklik Bidding Tool augment the stack, and a joint AI platform is in development with sister company Databy.

The company operates a hub-and-spoke brand model branded as Proficio HUB, under which seven wholly-owned specialized subsidiaries (PORTA design, Databy, MAIRA, Loyaltiq, Keypers, Seen & Heart, and Mullet) deliver depth in UX/web, BI/data science, performance marketing, retention/email, SEO and GEO, social media, and creative/brand respectively. Geographic footprint spans 8 offices in 4 countries (Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Poland) with localized websites in CS, SK, EN, AT, DE, and PL, supporting client delivery across CEE and DACH plus selected projects into Western, Northern, and Southern Europe and African markets.

Revenue mechanics combine professional services (retainers and project fees), managed services (advertising and technology platform management), and ancillary training (workshops at 20,000 CZK per 4-hour session, up to 12 participants). The agency manages advertising budgets exceeding 1 billion CZK annually, serves 250+ clients per year, and reports that 90% of clients have been active for more than five years. Customer segments skew toward mid-market and enterprise B2B and e-commerce clients with documented cross-border expansion mandates (e.g., Sanitino across 15 European markets, Showmax in Africa). Proprietary partner certifications include Google Premier Partner (top 3% in Czech Republic), Microsoft Advertising Elite Partner, Meta Business Partner, and 6 years of Sklik Certified Agency status; the agency has been listed on the Deloitte Fast 50 for three consecutive years and won the 2025 Agentura roku "Best Place to Work" award.
