What we do

Three disciplines, one accountable team.

Most agencies sell silos. We integrate strategy, content and paid media into a single system — measured against the only KPI that matters: profitable revenue.

/01

Brand & strategy

Sharper positioning, clear messaging frameworks, and go-to-market plans grounded in customer evidence — not opinion.

  • Qualitative + quantitative research
  • Positioning & narrative
  • Visual identity systems
  • GTM and pricing strategy
/02

Content & SEO

Multilingual content written by native specialists. Ranks, converts, and reads like it belongs in the market.

  • Programmatic & editorial SEO
  • Multilingual editorial systems
  • Long-form, video, social
  • Translation & cultural localization
/03

Performance media

Paid acquisition wired to your CRM. We optimize for qualified pipeline and LTV, never vanity metrics.

  • Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok
  • Lifecycle & email automation
  • Server-side tracking & attribution
  • Creative testing at scale

How we work

A six-week sprint, then a compounding engine.

We don't disappear into a six-month strategy deck. You see measurable movement in the first 30–45 days, and a compounding system after that.

01

Diagnose

Two weeks of deep audit: brand, funnel, paid, content, analytics. We surface the three changes that will move the needle most.

02

Design

We co-design the playbook, messaging, and channel mix with you. Everything is tied to a revenue target — not a vanity goal.

03

Deploy

Native teams ship the campaigns, content, and tracking. You get a live dashboard from week one.

04

Compound

Monthly compounding cycles: kill what fails, double what wins. Quarterly business reviews with the founders.

In their words

What working with Tavares feels like.

"
I've worked with five agencies in ten years. Tavares is the first one that felt like a co-founder, not a vendor. They challenged our brief — and they were right to.

The combination of native Dutch, English and Portuguese teams under one roof is genuinely rare. Our campaigns finally sound right in every market.

Senior, fast, honest. They told us to spend less in two channels and more in one — and revenue went up. That's not how agencies usually behave.

Common questions

What founders ask us first.

How quickly will we see results?+

First measurable movement within 30–45 days — usually in paid media efficiency or organic traffic. Material revenue lift typically lands in months 4–6, depending on sales cycle.

Do we have to commit long-term?+

We run a six-week diagnostic engagement first. After that, most clients stay on a quarterly retainer with a 30-day exit clause. Average tenure is 2.4 years — by choice.

How is pricing structured?+

A fixed monthly fee covering the senior team, plus a performance component tied to pre-agreed revenue or pipeline outcomes. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

Do you work with companies outside NL, EN, PT?+

Yes, but only when at least one of those three markets is part of the plan. That's our edge — and we won't pretend to be specialists where we aren't.
