EXPERIENCES

What founders say about working with me.

No scores and no stars. Only what people wrote themselves, in their own words, after we had worked together.

WHERE THESE WORDS COME FROM

The studio is new. The way of working is not.

Most of the words on this page were written before Fores3 existed. They describe work on visibility, growth and commercial direction rather than software I built. I would rather say that myself than leave you to work it out.

That does not make them less relevant to me. What these people describe is hardly about the discipline and almost entirely about how I work: understand what is going on first, be honest about what will and will not work, explain the reasoning behind a recommendation, and stay involved when it gets difficult. That is exactly what I carry into products and software now.

Part of my more recent work cannot be shared publicly. What can be shown is on the cases page.

WHAT I KEEP READING BACK IN THEM

  • Understand first

    Not reaching for the tools straight away, but working out what is actually happening.

  • Honest about expectations

    Saying what will not work turns out to be worth more than a good promise.

  • Reasoned, not felt

    Including when the recommendation is something someone would rather not have heard.

  • Staying involved

    Not delivering and disappearing, but staying with it until it genuinely works.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Eight people, different companies, the same thread.

There are a lot of cowboys in the digital marketing world who say and promise all sorts of things and cannot deliver on them. Robin is not one of them. Partly through Robin we became highly visible in Google on search terms like 'hoekbanken' and 'complete woonkamers'. We liked the personal approach, he is not purely businesslike. He is always there and really thinks along with you.

  • Robin came into the picture when our website started losing visibility in Google. At that point, he brought exactly what we needed: calm, clarity and results. Instead of rushing into quick fixes, Robin first took the time to understand what was really happening and where the biggest opportunities were. He built a structured strategy and guided us step by step until everything was back on track. What sets Robin apart is that his work isn't based on tricks or isolated tactics. Everything is part of a coherent strategy focused on what truly creates impact, while filtering out everything that is just noise. Beyond the strategy itself, Robin is an exceptional communicator. He is clear, structured and empathetic, and he makes a noticeable difference when it matters most. Working with him feels less like hiring an agency and more like having a business partner who cares about the outcome just as much as you do. If you're serious about building sustainable visibility instead of relying on luck or the latest hype, I couldn't recommend him more highly.

  • I first met Robin through a mutual connection when I was looking for someone with real marketing expertise. What mattered most to me was results, but just as importantly, feeling like we were genuinely working together as one team. From the beginning, Robin's approach matched those expectations perfectly. He helped us move forward in ways that had a huge impact on our business. At times I questioned whether the investment was worth it, but looking back at what we achieved, I honestly don't think we could have made a better decision. Robin has always been transparent about what to expect, what not to expect, and he stays involved throughout the entire process. He delivers results without overpromising. If someone is serious about building something for the long term, I would tell them to be willing to make the investment. In the end, you're investing in your own business. His honesty, transparency and straightforward way of communicating are qualities that are far rarer than they should be in the marketing industry.

  • Robin helped us for years to get our web shop high in Google, and that worked. He gave me confidence because he really listened to what I thought about it and also had a strong opinion of his own about what needed to happen to reach our goals. Robin always said what he was going to do and why, with the result that our web shop turned into a national player. So I would certainly recommend him, and say: trust it.

  • I've worked with Robin since 2019, and throughout those years our collaboration has always been built on trust, craftsmanship and mutual understanding. Robin has helped us grow through targeted campaigns, stronger authority and a clear long-term strategy. He is always involved, communicates frequently and genuinely makes time for the relationship, even visiting us in person when needed. Real attention has become rare, but Robin gives it without hesitation. Everything he recommends is backed by solid reasoning. Sometimes that means hearing things you may not want to hear, but time after time he has proven that he knows exactly what he's talking about. If I'm honest, I'd almost rather keep someone like Robin as our secret weapon. Anyone looking for a reliable, decisive and exceptionally knowledgeable strategic partner will find exactly that in Robin.

  • We have known each other for more than twenty years now. In that time I have seen from close by how you were already winning prizes as a teenager and a young adult. You always stood out, you said what you did and you did what you said. No detours and no noise with you, which is what produced the sharpness and the focus. It always brings clarity and action. Less talking, more doing, but thought through. You have a proven track record with large SME companies, and you understand the different levels of entrepreneurship well. What I would say to others: someone who is different from most people can sometimes provoke a feeling of distrust, but that usually says more about the other person than about you. Robin has long since shown that he delivers in his field. If you are willing to look honestly at yourself and your company and you genuinely want to grow, then Robin is a good choice. Because Robin does not build castles in the air, he builds foundations, and I find that rare. Thank you!

  • A lot has changed for us, partly because of AI. We hopped between agencies fairly often, and that usually started with a fine story up front, followed by not delivering or not putting any energy into it somewhere. With Robin I have never had that. I know Robin as a genuine guy who is always reachable and who is extremely far along in AI development combined with online marketing.

  • Before working with Robin, we weren't investing in marketing at all. Not long after we started working together, we saw a clear increase in online enquiries and kept increasing our investment because the results justified it. Robin combines flexibility, commercial insight, expertise and genuine personal involvement. That combination makes him very different from others we've worked with. As fellow entrepreneurs, we also shared a similar mindset, which made the collaboration feel natural from the start. One quality that stands out is Robin's ability to reflect honestly on situations and actually act on those insights. Both personally and professionally, he is constantly improving. More importantly, he naturally builds long-term relationships. You always feel that he isn't interested in short-term wins, but in working together towards a shared long-term vision.

  • Robin gave me insight into the things I thought I would pick up easily and quickly myself. Looking back, we now have a strong foundation. Somewhere you have everything in you to make something big, whatever it is. To others I would say: give Robin the room and the time to get interested in your business. When he is interested without any brakes, he can make ideas grow.

AND THE WORK ITSELF

Words are half the evidence.

The other half is what actually exists. The cases page shows, per project, which question came first, which choice followed from it and what was built.
