ALWA Marketing

What ALWA Marketing does

ALWA Marketing is a full-service online marketing agency headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, founded in 2017 by Nils Lüdtke and Basel Alalwani as a GbR partnership (with a related ALWA Marketing UG entity registered in Speyer). The agency delivers four integrated service lines — Content Creation, Meta Ads, Google Ads, and E-Mail Marketing — to B2C and B2B clients across pet insurance, luxury automotive, fitness, legal services, aviation, hospitality, education, healthcare staffing, and travel, among other sectors.

The technology stack is composed of industry-standard third-party platforms: Meta's advertising ecosystem, Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max), email marketing tools, and social media management software, augmented by generative AI tooling for content production as disclosed in the agency's AGB. ALWA holds official Google Partner and Meta Business Partner credentials, has won the Deutscher Agenturpreis 2023 and German Web Awards 2023, and runs a DACH-focused go-to-market with a sales-led, consultative motion driven by a portfolio of named case studies (dogcare24, catcare24, RSV Motors, Rechtecheck, EasyFit, Carathotels, and others), educational blog content, and direct-contact channels (website forms, phone, WhatsApp). Reported performance metrics include 150,000+ leads generated, >3M EUR in ad spend managed in 2023, and a 39x ROAS on select Meta campaigns.

The business model is professional-services revenue: project-based engagements plus monthly retainer contracts for recurring services, with no public pricing and quote-driven scoping. The agency is bootstrapped, founder-owned and founder-operated, with no institutional investment, no parent company, and no disclosed headcount. Two locations are referenced (Stuttgart headquarters and Speyer registered office), and ~14 named customer relationships are evidenced in the supplied materials, suggesting a boutique-to-mid-sized agency profile serving primarily German and adjacent markets.
