About

At SOBA Studio we believe in simple wisdom. We bring creative flair in commercially focused marketing strategies of companies. We put a deep sense of logic and great instinct in our concept development, to build strong foundations for brands and create long term relationships with their consumers.

From the inspiring city of Rotterdam we work with an ambitious team on marketing and communication cases for our clients. We are specialised in building brand strategies and translate these into local market contexts. As a result, we create concepts, produce campaigns, and organise brand activations and community events. From campaigns and advertising, to social content and video productions, to marketing and pr activations: we use the full marketing mix.
