Let us introduce
ourselves
It all starts with the bee. It's more than just a design element. This Queen bee represents collaboration, dedication, generosity, and adaptability— values that embody everything we stand for at Marking.
We really believe that the power of personal connections and strong relationships lead to success. By combining our strengths and working together, we are able to find opportunities, solutions and create long lasting results. In the fast-paced world of marketing, being able to adapt is crucial, and that's where we thrive. Whether it's a spontaneous brainstorming session or a casual chat over wine, we're always buzzing (no pun intended..) to go the extra mile for our team and clients.

Working with us is…
The Marking team has supported us over the past years whenever we found ourselves short on hands and minds during peak periods. They are all true professionals and function as an extension of our own team. Real entrepreneurs who immerse themselves in the brand and always bring something extra. For us, they are a perfect match: Always a better solution!

Sometimes you work with people and they are able to positively surprise you, and because of that you’ll end up doing more work together… As with Marking! Originally I asked them to help me with a small marketing problem that I faced, but I was quickly sold on giving my marketing more attention because their work truly helped me to amplify the messaging of my brand(s). This really surprised me… and I like surprises. Surprises are fun. And so is working with Marking.

Working with Marking has been both a joyful and insightful experience. Together, we’ve tackled the challenge of transforming a traditionally conservative and closed-off industry into one that engages the outside world in an innovative way. This collaborative journey has been enhanced by Marking’s fresh perspectives and ideas, helping us bridge the gap between tradition and modernity. Their creativity and expertise have made them a partner in redefining how we tell our unique story.
Coen Douma - Douma Staal Group
We had the pleasure of sharing an office with the Marking girls a few years back and got to know them very well in a short time. So we know what we’re talking about: these girls are amazing! Outstanding in strategy, analysis, and communication—all with a lot of expertise, flair, and fun. We're very happy to still be working together with the Markies.
Jochem Winterwerp – Buro Bros
Fantastic! Thanks to Marking's excellent strategic advice plan, we were able to improve and innovate our foundation's social media strategy. The contact with Marking is very pleasant and personal, and they are easily approachable. The team also has a lot of creative ideas that are very practical. Overall, a great collaboration!
Kind bij de Dokter
Marking is our one-stop shop for marketing and communication. It’s always a pleasure to work with the team. Their enthusiasm and involvement are evident in everything they do. Marking is not only our right hand in developing targeted communication but also a valuable sparring partner. They provide the input we need to plan and take strategic next steps. A collaboration we can rely on!
Management at Smeding Groente en Fruit
Marking is an amazing partner! They’re quick, reliable, and always ready to give feedback to make things even better which is essential when you work so closely together. And they’re also just great people! For our logo rebrand, they understood our needs and boosted its impact with a few smart tweaks. They also trained us on Canva so we could take charge of the new strategy ourselves. I highly recommend them— and do so often! 😉

The Present - Warm Welcome Refugee Foundation
We are proud to have partnered with the Present. An organisation that ensures that expertise is put to the best of use by matching companies with a fitting initiative and project. As part of the initiative, we developed a website and optimised the email system for Stichting Warm Welkom Amsterdam. This foundation extends a warm welcome to refugees in Amsterdam, facilitating their integration into the community. It was a rewarding project, and we encourage fellow entrepreneurs to join us in registering with The Present!
Kind bij de Dokter - Medical Education Foundation
We are working together with the Medical Education Foundation 'Kind bij de Dokter,' to help them increase their online presence. Kind bij de Dokter makes reliable information on topics within pediatrics accessible. What makes it even better is that it is created by medical professionals in collaboration with children and parents. This foundation operates solely with the help and dedication of volunteer doctors which is why we are proud to be able to support them in creating a social media strategy to increase the brand awareness.
