Daniel Rothier
I've been on the market for 26 years (and counting), and I can say for sure that I've never met anyone as upright as Lodewijk. He's not only a great friend, but also extremely professional and capable, and I sincerely believe that I'm lucky to have the opportunity of working with and for him. He knows exactly what he's doing, he craves problem-solving and I know - you should also - that I can count on him to provide business and personal perspectives. If you are in doubt, please don't. You might not have any idea of what it is to work with a real professional, but trust me on this: you won't regret a tiny part because this guy really stands out and reads you completely to hand the perfect solution for you. He's simply the best I've ever seen.

MSP Launchpad got us 3 sales (not just leads) with Google Ads within a few months of the new website going live, while all other marketing agencies never delivered. Just like everyone else, we had been stuck trying to solve the lead-gen problem for our MSP. Tried a few marketing agencies, who wasted our money in an almost careless way. Especially with Google Ads; we assessed their work and saw a lot of unclean traffic. The agencies didn’t know how to optimize traffic specifically for MSPs and got the wrong eyeballs on our ads. We also felt they didn't really understand our keywords and account. So we had to keep searching and then came across MSP Launchpad on Google. They mentioned that they can help us, that clean traffic is not an issue with them and we decided to take them on for SEO, Google Ads and a new website. The website went live as planned, exactly after 1 month - and so did the Google Ads. We started generating leads from that point on. Our ad spend has been modest at around $1,800 monthly on average. We committed up to $3,000.- per month, but they could generate up to $1,800 of clean traffic in our area and we sincerely appreciated how committed they are to not having useless clicks and budget wasted. We always had the plan to wean off the Google Ads when SEO started kicking in, and the MSP SEO is now kicking in gear - SEO traffic doubled in the last 30 days and is becoming significant. So amazingly, it's all going to plan. We'll keep Google Ads active, but are reducing the ad spend to only target the absolute cream of the crop keywords, saving extra capital because the SEO is already coming in force. MSP Launchpad is doing everything they promised. We also understand Google Ads ourselves and we can see that these guys are undoubtedly the best we've ever worked with. We also really appreciate that they keep looking at the future. They think alongside us to develop lead generating opportunities for our specific market. We look forward to collaborating for a long time to come.

Aug 2019 - Nov 2019
I had to leave the organization due to serious sports injury, which was to be treated in my home country. SafeComs had just switched from a break/fix model to a prevention-based (RMM) model, with the goal of increasing their monthly recurring revenue (MRR). The goal was to pull in additional MRR and to establish product-market fit between the new service and Bangkok City. During my short time with them, I generated an immediate, tactical client for the new RMM service (a Chamber of Commerce), as well as initiating another large contract for the ERP side of the business. I initiated and fostered partnerships with businesses who facilitate corporate entry into Thailand (legal firms, accountants, other Chambers of Commerce), as well as creating the first marketing materials (brochures, emails). On my departure, I left them with several qualified leads and sent them more business afterwards. Show less
