Marketing Storm

What Marketing Storm does

Marketing Storm B.V. is a privately held Dutch digital marketing agency headquartered in Hoorn, Netherlands, that delivers performance-based Google Ads management for Shopify D2C and dropshipping brands. The company's core product is a managed Google Ads service offered in two tiers: a Standard tier with a €1,000 setup fee and a 12.5% take-rate on monthly ad spend, and a Scale tier for advertisers spending €30,000 or more per month, which waives the setup fee, applies a 9.6% (and downward) take-rate, and requires a 12-month contract. Both tiers are underwritten by a ROAS Guarantee that reduces the management fee by half if agreed return targets are not met, creating an outcome-aligned pricing structure. An optional Strategic Business Partner service extends the offering with bi-weekly strategic calls, funnel audits, cross-channel strategy, and GMC setup.

Underlying the service is an internally developed, AI-driven optimization platform paired with a 24/7 monitoring system that supports campaign decisioning and proactive optimization; no patents, named models, or independent benchmarks are disclosed for the software. Go-to-market is sales-led, beginning with a free strategic session and targeting ambitious e-commerce founders, with distribution supplemented by a publicly displayed partner network (Servicepoints.nl, Elytra Agency, Suits Finance, BigShopper.nl, Ecomflows.io). Marketing Storm operates with 10+ team members — predominantly certified Google Ads specialists — and reports 115+ profitable clients across the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Denmark, with no disclosed revenue, funding history, or external equity investors.
