That is where every collaboration starts – and we build paid, SEO, content and reporting so that they feed into the automations. Not the other way round.
Our team works from Berlin and internationally: performance leads for Italy, Spain, France and the United Kingdom take care of the local markets, while CRM, email, tracking and scoring are steered centrally. The result is one system that works the same in several markets – not four separate islands.
We are tool-agnostic: HubSpot, Salesforce, Klaviyo, Braze, ActiveCampaign or evalanche – we pick what fits your team and your process. And we are honest when the lever is not in automation right now.

What we stick to
Process first, tool second
We do not configure a tool before the process exists. Automation glued to a broken process is just expensive automation.
Numbers, not claims
Every service runs on KPIs and reporting. If we cannot measure something, we say so – and we measure it afterwards.
Tool-agnostic, data-responsible
No partner discount drives our recommendation. GDPR, consent and data hygiene are standard, not an add-on.
Rooted in Berlin, set up internationally
Based in Berlin, with offices in New York, London and Singapore and local performance leads for Italy, Spain, France, Benelux and Scandinavia – systems work runs centrally from the German team.
How we got here
-
Step 1 · Founding
Out of agency everyday life
Core Online Marketing was born from observing that most marketing budgets flow into channels that end up in broken data and process structures. We built the agency that fixes the system first.
-
Step 2 · Focus
Marketing automation as the core
We deliberately did not lock our brand name to “SEO agency” or “online marketing agency”, but to the cluster with the best ratio of search volume, commercial intent and winnable competition: marketing automation and its long-tails.
-
Step 3 · Build-out
Full system from one hand
Around the core we built the full-service offerings: paid, SEO, email, CRM, tracking, reporting. Everything feeds the same data base – and thus the same numeric truth.
-
Step 4 · International
Berlin plus markets
Offices in New York, London and Singapore plus local performance leads for Italy, Spain, France, Benelux, Scandinavia and the UK rolled the system out across European and international markets – same architecture, local market logic, one report.
Our locations
Headquarters in Berlin, offices in New York, London and Singapore – this is how we work for DACH, all of Europe, the UK, the USA and Asia-Pacific. Same architecture, same KPIs, one report.

Why “Core Online Marketing”?
Because what sits at the centre of every funnel is not the prettiest campaign – it is the system that turns enquiries into revenue. The name therefore describes no tool and no trend, but the architecture: a core (CRM, data, automation) around which online marketing organises itself.
What we deliberately do not do
No black-box packages
You always learn what is built and what it costs. If a service does not pay off, we say so – even when we would offer it.
No tool fetish
We do not switch a tool just because it is new. The architecture matters, the tool follows. Partner discounts do not drive a recommendation.
No lock-in through knowledge
Everything we build is documented and belongs to you. You can keep working after every collaboration – without us as a bottleneck.
No gut-feel reporting
Every statement stands on a number. What cannot be measured we declare as an assumption – and measure it afterwards where possible.
Frequently asked questions about us
How big is Core Online Marketing?
We are a focussed team of ten specialists based in Berlin – plus local performance leads in Italy, Spain, France and the UK. We grow through projects, not sales volume.
What sets you apart from a classic online marketing agency?
The order: we start with data, process and automation – and orchestrate paid, SEO and content around them. Classic agencies usually start with campaigns and look for the system afterwards. That is the difference when the numbers have to deliver.
Do you only work in the DACH region?
No. Our base is Berlin, but we also work in Italy, Spain, France and the UK with local performance leads – same systems architecture, local market logic.
Do you offer pure content or SEO without automation?
Yes, as a single service. But we are honest when the lever is limited without a data base and automation – and recommend the short audit path first.
How do you handle NDAs and confidentiality?
Standard: we sign NDAs before the audit, we publish cases and quotes only with written approval, and access to your systems is role-based and documented.
What if after the audit we find the lever lies elsewhere?
Then we say so – even when it does not point to our core task “automation”. We recommend the next sensible step (often: tracking or data foundation first) and you decide. An honest “you do not need that” is explicitly allowed here and happens regularly.
Do you work alongside internal marketing teams?
Yes, that is often the best way: we deliver architecture, setups and processes, and your team takes over operation step by step. Or the reverse – we take over what cannot be carried internally. The handover is documented.
What share of the team is permanent staff?
The core functions – automation, CRM, tracking, scoring – are permanent staff in Berlin. Regional performance leads for Italy, Spain, France and the UK work on a long-term project basis. For you the difference is not visible: fixedly assigned, reachable, documented.
Why is the agency based in Berlin?
Berlin is the pivot for DACH: short distances to clients in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, a strong talent pool for data and automation expertise, and a price level that lets us staff more specialists and less middle layer. Internationally we work through the local performance leads.
How do you handle sustainability and data consumption?
Our setup is static (Astro, SVG graphics, compressed assets) – the website itself uses few resources. For data transmission we rely on consent-first and minimal tracking, so marketing does not come at the cost of privacy.
Do you plan to serve further markets in Europe?
Yes – after DACH, IT, ES, FR and GB, Benelux and Scandinavia are the next candidates. Entry happens through a local performance lead and a location page, not through a full branch.
