How we ranked these agencies

Every agency on this list already cleared our bar, so totals start at 6. Each of three criteria is scored 0 to 10, and the total is 6 plus 0.4 times their average, which gives a score between 6 and 10.

• Client reviews. The Google rating, corrected for how many reviews sit behind it. We use a weighted average that treats every agency as if it started with ten 4.5-star reviews, so a 5.0 from two reviews counts for less than a 4.9 from sixty. We map that average so 3.5 stars scores 0 and 5.0 stars scores 10. Where Google has no reviews we used Clutch, and an agency with no reviews anywhere gets the neutral score of 6.7. We also read the written reviews for what clients praise and complain about.
• Published proof. Named clients and case results with real numbers on the agency's own site. A logo wall without results scores low.
• Growth approach. How fully the agency works across the funnel (acquisition, activation, revenue, retention, referral) with experiments. Single-channel, single-platform and training-only agencies score lower.

We note pricing transparency in the entries but do not score it. We rank on the unrounded total, so neighbours can show the same rounded score. We captured the ratings on 10 November 2026; Google does not verify reviews. We refresh the ratings every quarter.

The top 5 growth marketing agencies in the Netherlands

1. Sprints & Sneakers: best growth marketing agency overall

Score: 9.8/10 (reviews 8.8, proof 10, approach 10). Best for: scale-ups and established brands that want one partner across the whole funnel, B2B and B2C. Based in: Amsterdam and Groningen. Google: 4.9.

What clients say: reviewers describe a team that keeps pushing new experiments to grow the online customer base, works fast and creatively, and turns plans into concrete actions. Lucas Bols calls it its preferred growth agency of many years. A former Bols consultant hired the team again after becoming COO at Royal Coster Diamonds.

Pros

• Full-funnel sprint method: the team works on the whole AARRR funnel (acquisition, activation, revenue, retention, referral) in sprints, instead of one channel at a time.
• Results with numbers: 6,000+ leads for PX, 104 sales-qualified meetings at one conference for Weber Marking Systems, +32% year-over-year revenue for DSM Keukens, +300% donations for KiKa and 800K+ impressions from AI-driven SEO for Uitelkaar.nl.
• AI-native: SEO plus GEO (visibility in ChatGPT and other AI search), and AI transformation for marketing teams.
• Recognised: B Corp certified since 2021 (score 96.7), FT 1000 (2025), four-time FD Gazelle and Emerce 100, Meta and Google certified. Growth consultant Ward van Gasteren named it the number 1 Dutch growth hacking agency in his 2024 list.
• Works for brands including Shell Recharge, Google, Bruynzeel, Magnum and Unilever, as well as Lucas Bols, Talpa Network, Qmusic and Stayokay.

Cons

• No public pricing: you get a proposal after an intake.
• The client list leans towards established brands, so a pre-revenue start-up may be better served by a freelancer or a course.

2. Grow Up Digital: best for profit-led performance marketing

Score: 9.2/10 (reviews 9.1, proof 9, approach 6). Best for: webshops and lead-driven businesses that want marketing judged on profit rather than ROAS. Based in: Amsterdam. Google: 5.0.

What clients say: clear communication, and a big step forward for businesses that are new to online advertising.

Pros

• Optimises on profit and margin instead of ROAS, with a free data warehouse per client that links business data to ad data.
• Results: +84% revenue for Petrol Industries, +52% revenue at 19% lower ad spend for Afval.nl, +30% revenue from Performance Max for Anna Servies.
• Global Search Awards winner 2023 to 2026, European Search Awards 2024 and 2025, Emerce 100.

Cons

• Focused on paid and organic search and social; less on activation, CRO and retention.

3. Fingerspitz: best for data-driven full service

Score: 9.0/10 (reviews 7.8, proof 7, approach 8). Best for: mid-size and large companies that want strategy, data, media and creative under one roof. Based in: Breda, with offices in Eindhoven and Rotterdam. Google: 4.7.

What clients say: forward-thinking, knowledgeable and no-nonsense. Several reviewers say they get time and attention instead of feeling like a number.

Pros

• 50+ specialists, founded in 2011, strong in data, automation and dashboarding.
• Results: +59.3% Google Ads revenue for Kwalitaria and +9.7% branded search volume for Achmea Rechtsbijstand through GEO.
• Google Premier Partner 2026, FD Gazellen 2025, Emerce 100 2026.

Cons

• A broad full-service model rather than an experiment-led growth team.
• No office in Amsterdam, which matters if you want the team on site in the Randstad.

4. Dapper: best for B2B demand generation

Score: 9.0/10 (reviews 6.7, proof 9, approach 7). Best for: B2B SaaS, service and hardware companies that need pipeline in Europe, the UK and the US. Based in: Rotterdam and Lisbon. Google: 4.5.

What clients say: recent reviewers call the team energetic and involved, say it feels like part of their own team, and report that leads doubled. A few reviews from about a year ago are critical: too little involvement and market insight, and no results after months.

Pros

• About 70 B2B specialists and 100+ B2B clients, including Logitech, Ultimaker and Storyteq.
• Its own demand generation method, the Niche Famous Framework.
• Results: 200% more inbound sales calls and 53% more qualified pipeline for OPP, 60+ inbound leads at a 66% win rate for Bluebird, 350+ sign-ups in 4 months at $70 each for ReviewStudio.

5. Whello: best brand-plus-performance partner for SMEs

Score: 9.0/10 (reviews 8.5, proof 8, approach 6). Best for: SMEs and scale-ups that want brand, website and campaigns from one team. Based in: Amsterdam. Google: 4.8.

What clients say: proactive, easy to reach, and strong on SEO as well as ads. One client has stayed for more than eight years.

Pros

• A full marketing team for the cost of one FTE: 50+ people across brand, web, content and campaigns.
• Results: 14,616 app downloads and 326 leads in two months for HelloRider, €35M raised in bonds for Fastned (about 200% above target), +28% organic visitors in a year for Maandag.

Cons

• A generalist online marketing agency rather than an experiment-led growth team.
• No named awards on its site.

• Pros: 179 brands served, including adidas and Philips. +159% organic revenue for Welhof; +150% search traffic over two years for o9 Solutions.

Score: 8.9/10 (reviews 7.5, proof 8, approach 6). Based in: Almere. Google: 4.7.

• Pros: +469% conversion rate at 30% lower media spend for TopMondzorg, +463% conversions for Liander. Emerce 100 2026.
• Cons: reviews are short and few, and the model is closer to a media agency than a growth team.

Score: 8.7/10 (reviews 7.1, proof 5, approach 8). Based in: Amsterdam, Hengelo and Berlin. Google: 4.6.

What clients say: hard-working, honest and good at keeping agreements, with broad e-commerce, data and SEO expertise.

• Pros: 75+ specialists working across data, UX and experimentation for Ace & Tate, Swapfiets and XXL Nutrition. Deloitte Fast50 and Emerce 100.

10. Unmuted: best for B2B SaaS

Score: 8.7/10 (reviews 9.0, proof 4, approach 7). Based in: Amsterdam. Google: 5.0.

What clients say: a lot of expertise in house, proactive, and structured after a short alignment phase. One SaaS founder calls it top-tier B2B SaaS marketing.

• Pros: a 12-month Growth Program with positioning, in-house video and content, and LinkedIn ad frameworks. Clients include Backbase, Sendcloud and Studytube.

• Pros: HubSpot Diamond Solutions Partner for 200+ brands, covering marketing, sales and service set-up. A 200% more efficient dealer process for Urban Arrow.

12. Red Panda Works: best for B2B pipeline with high deal values

Score: 8.5/10 (reviews 5.0, proof 7, approach 7). Based in: Amsterdam. Google: 4.1.

• Pros: clear pricing from €6,000 per month. Claims €18.4M added pipeline over 2025 and 2026 and +180% pipeline value for USoft.
