referrolock up NEW

The world’s b2b agency in the Netherlands

Referro is one of BBN’s oldest partners having joined in 1995. This Dutch agency has made a significant contribution to BBN’s journey and development. The Netherlands is a small country with a limited internal market, so like most Dutch companies, Referro is familiar with discovering new market opportunities across borders.

Best described as a B2B agency with full-service capability, they are experts in strategy through to market activation. With an integrated approach, they offer strong strategic concepts and develop distinctive ideas and campaigns.

They also have expertise in Martech like marketing automation, CRM and sales enablement. These bring great value to both BBN and their customers, achieving amazing results by combining these skills with their contact centre.

Referro has been awarded numerous times, but the best proof of their ability to bring value to customers is their 27-year track record of long-lasting client relationships. Proact is a perfect example of an international client that grew to appreciate the full extent of BBN’s global partnership offering.

Gerard van den Bogaart
Agency owner

In 2013, after 20 years working in both SME and corporate environments, Gerard decided to combine his B2B marketing and sales experience with the strong competencies of Referro. His experience at the ‘client side of the business’ turned out to hold great value for clients. He is able to mix strategic insights and decisiveness in execution with only one goal in mind: to upgrade the effectiveness of the client’s marketing and sales processes. And pushing the limits every day!

With almost 3 decades of experience in the field of research, strategy, positioning and branding challenges, Bart knows how to contribute to our clients’ success.
