De Havenloods Mediacentrum

What De Havenloods Mediacentrum does

De Havenloods Mediacentrum is a Dutch full-service local media partner headquartered in Pijnacker, Zuid-Holland, serving small and medium-sized businesses, entrepreneurs, and local associations in the Rotterdam region. Founded in September 2021 and operating with approximately nine employees, the company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telstar Mediagroep, a Dutch conglomerate comprising seven news and media companies. It sells cross-media local reach rather than individual services, bundling advertising across its own local news sites, mobile apps, social channels, and printed house-to-house newspapers so that advertiser messages reach regional households both digitally and physically.

The company's product portfolio is organized into six integrated service modules: Adverteren (advertising and cross-media ad buys), Drukwerk (printing, including via the Lokaalensneldrukwerk.nl platform), Social Media (channel management, content creation, and paid social), Huisstijl & Campagnes (logo and corporate identity design), Websites (WordPress-based development with SEO and Google Ads support), and Tekst & Fotografie (copywriting and photography). The underlying technology stack is deliberately low-capex: WordPress for web builds, standard social media tooling, and a third-party printing platform; there is no disclosed proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, or software product. The differentiator is the cross-media distribution footprint and the unified single-partner, single-invoice service model aimed at local clients who lack the scale to coordinate multiple vendors.

Commercially, the company runs a sales-led, direct-outreach go-to-market through telephone sales and media advisors contacting local businesses. Revenue is generated through advertising sales, professional service fees (social media, web, branding, text/photography), and transaction-based printing revenue, all on a quote basis with no publicly disclosed pricing. The customer base is a long-tail of local SMBs and associations in the Rotterdam region, with no named enterprise customers, no disclosed revenue figures, and no external funding rounds to date.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Regional players

• Regionaal Online B.V. Dutch local online advertising network for regional newspapers. Comparable in targeting local SMB advertisers through news media, but operates digitally only without De Havenloods' print distribution capability.

Direct peers

• DAS Mediacentrum: Sibling local media center within the Telstar Mediagroep network providing the same six-service cross-media bundle to local entrepreneurs. Directly comparable in offering and customer profile.
• Telstar Mediacentrum: Sister company within Telstar Mediagroep operating an identical local media-center model in a different Dutch region. Directly comparable business model (cross-media advertising + services) and target customer (local SMBs), differing only by geography.
• Arena Mediacentrum: Another sibling local media center under Telstar Mediagroep offering the same bundled advertising, print, and marketing services to local SMBs in its own region. Functionally identical operating model.

Broad incumbents

• Mediahuis Nederland: Major Dutch media house publishing regional newspapers and digital news properties. Comparable in local advertising inventory and SMB audience reach, but operates at a national scale with broader publishing operations.
• DPG Media B.V. Largest Dutch media group with regional newspapers, online classifieds, and advertising platforms. Overlaps with De Havenloods in local SMB advertising reach but operates at vastly larger scale across multiple verticals.
• HMC (Holland Media Combinatie): Established Dutch local media group operating regional newspapers and advertising platforms. Broader incumbent with overlapping local advertising and news reach, but with a wider portfolio beyond SMB marketing services.

Others

• Lokaalensneldrukwerk.nl: Technology/printing partner of De Havenloods offering low-cost print-on-demand services. Comparable in printing capability but operates as a pure platform rather than full-service media center.
