We run the account, not just the campaign.
A social studio of four in Rotterdam. We plan the month, shoot it, post it, answer the comments, and send you one honest report on the first Monday.
Planning November for eleven accounts. Shoot day is Tuesday, in the client's own room as usual.

On the roster
The accounts we post for
Eleven on retainer at any one time, plus the launches we take on around them. We keep the list short so the calendar stays honest.
Selected work
Nine accounts, and what changed on them
Each one is a real month of work: the calendar, the shoot day, the creators and the number it moved. Tap through for the whole story.
The plant shop that never went quiet Four posts a week for a plant delivery brand that had been posting once a fortnight, shot in the packing room on a Tuesday.
+38k followers in six months
A launch week built from seventeen edits One pistachio spread, one shoot day and seventeen short edits released across seven days, with paid behind the three that moved.
4.2m views in launch week
Selling coffee the way the counter does A roastery whose staff already knew how to talk about coffee, finally allowed to do it on camera instead of in captions.
31% of direct revenue from social
Paid social that stopped guessing We stopped making ads and started promoting the organic posts that had already proved themselves, which halved what a click cost.
Cost per click down to 0.34 euro
Fifty creators, one savings habit A savings app that needed people to talk about money out loud, so we found fifty who already did and paid them properly.
12k sign-ups in one campaign
Skincare without the before and after A skincare brand that refused transformation shots, so we made the routine itself the content and let the creators keep their own faces.
62% of orders from creator codes
Highlights
Saved highlights, one per account
Every figure is measured against the three months before we started, and every one of them is attached to a name. Nothing here is a screenshot of a good week.
In their words
What the people who hired us say
Four founders and marketing leads, on what it is actually like having us on the calendar.
We had been told for years that the account needed to look more premium. Orbit turned up, filmed our packing room on a phone, and grew the following tenfold in six months.
One shoot day turned into seventeen pieces and a sold-out first run. I still do not entirely understand how it worked, but the spreadsheet agrees with them.
They said no to two of our ideas on the first call and explained exactly why. That is the moment I knew who we were hiring.
The report lands on the first Monday and it opens with what did not work. No agency has ever done that for us before, and now I cannot go back.
What we run
Six things, and all of them in house
Most brands start with the first two and add a third once the calendar is running. Nothing on this list is subcontracted to anyone.
Always-on content
The month planned, shot and posted, so the account never goes quiet between campaigns.
20 posts a monthVideo that gets watched
Hooks, cuts, captions and covers, edited for the platform rather than trimmed down from an advert.
12 edits a monthCreator programmes
We find them, brief them, licence the good stuff and put the winners behind paid.
8 creators a quarterMedia buying
The organic winners become the ad account, so nothing is ever tested twice at full price.
From 5k a monthInbox and comments
Replies in your voice, before lunch, including the awkward ones nobody else wants to answer.
Weekdays, 9 to 6Campaign sprints
Six weeks around a drop or a rebrand, with a shoot, a creator wave and a paid push behind it.
Six-week sprintRetainers
What it costs to have us on

How it goes
A month with us, week by week
The same run every month, so you always know what week we are in, what is being shot and what lands next.
We listen first
A week reading your inbox, your comments and your last six months of posts before we suggest a single thing.
Nothing posted yetWe plan the month
One shared calendar with every post, format and date on it. You approve it once and then it is ours to run.
You approve it onceWe shoot it
One day, usually in your own space rather than a studio, and everything the month needs comes out of it.
One day, your spaceWe run it and report
Posting, replying, putting budget behind what works, and one honest report on the first Monday.
Report on the first MondayThe studio
Four people, one room, above a bike shop
Who you would actually be working with, and why the list of clients stays short.
We started in 2020 because every brand we liked was posting like a brochure.
Orbit is four people in a first-floor room in Katendrecht, above a bike shop, with a shoot corner at one end and a very large whiteboard at the other. We started with two clients and a kitchen table, and we have kept the studio deliberately small ever since.
Small means the person who plans your month is the person who shoots it and the person who answers your comments. Nothing is handed to a junior you have never met, and nothing is subcontracted. It also means we can only take on one new brand a month, which is why the first reply to a brief is usually honest about timing.
We work in Dutch and English, mostly with consumer brands between their first and their fiftieth employee, and we would rather run one account properly than five of them politely.
- Fern and Field
- Halva
- Northbank Coffee
- Cadence Cycles
- Pocketful
- Salt House
Who you get
The four of us, and that is the whole studio
No account managers between you and the work. You get all four, and you will know whose week it is.
The studio, counted
Orbit by the numbers
The shape of the place, rather than the results. Those are further up the page.
Two of us and a kitchen table in Katendrecht
Across eleven accounts and four platforms
Almost all of them in a client space, not a studio
Which is why briefs get an honest answer about timing
Before you ask
The questions that come up on every first call
If yours is not here, put it in the message below and we will answer it in the reply.
Do we need to give you our logins?
What happens on a shoot day?
Can you work with what we have already shot?
How long before anything moves?
Do you handle the ad spend?
What if it is not working?
Say hello
Tell us what you are trying to grow
Six fields and a paragraph. One of us reads it, and you get a straight answer within a working day, even when the answer is no.
We take on one new brand a month, so the first reply is honest about whether that is you. If it is not, we will usually point you at someone it is.
Worth putting in the message- Where you post today, and roughly how often
- What you sell, and who keeps buying it
- One number you want to move, and by when
Got it. One of us will come back to you within a working day.
