Dapper Announced European B2B Agency of the Year 2025

Most B2B brands only become visible once buyers actively start searching for a solution. By that time, the buyer’s shortlist is often already set. They turn to brands they recognize, trust, and remember.

At Dapper, we focus on what happens before that moment. The phase where most B2B companies are still invisible. Our work is centered around building demand long before buyers enter the market, not just capturing it once they do.

That way of working has now been recognized with the European B2B Agency of the Year 2025 award.

This recognition reflects years of consistent work across strategy, content, creative, and performance. It is not about one campaign or a single result, but about a long-term approach to B2B growth.

Why Dapper Was Named European B2B Agency of the Year

According to the jury, Dapper stood out for its structured and sustainable approach to B2B marketing. Rather than optimizing primarily for short-term performance metrics, our focus is on helping brands earn trust, relevance, and visibility over time.

At Dapper, we help B2B companies become top of mind in their category by building credibility long before buyers enter the market. Our work combines demand generation, thought leadership, and content-driven growth to support long-term pipeline development.

We align strategy, content, creative, and performance into one integrated system. Demand generation builds awareness and familiarity, while demand capture ensures buyers can act when they are ready. When these disciplines reinforce each other, growth becomes more predictable and more resilient.

This approach applies not only to our client work, but also to how we build and grow the Dapper brand itself.

How We Think About B2B Growth

We see B2B growth as a system, not a collection of isolated tactics.

Dapper is a content-first agency with a strong performance mindset. Strategy, creative, content, paid media, and measurement work together from day one. Every engagement starts with a clear narrative that guides what we create and how we distribute it.

Content is not treated as a one-off deliverable. It is a long-term asset that compounds over time. Demand generation creates familiarity and trust, while demand capture turns that demand into measurable results when buyers are ready to act.

Award-Winning Client Work

This award is also a reflection of the work we deliver for clients every day.

One example is our collaboration with Online Payment Platform (OPP), a Dutch FinTech scale-up operating in a highly competitive market. While OPP was generating leads, the brand struggled to stand out against giants like Mollie and Adyen. They needed to become the company their market already trusted.

Together, we repositioned OPP around a clear human narrative, supported by consistent thought leadership. Internal experts were given a visible role, and content became a long-term growth engine rather than a short-term campaign tool.

The results were tangible. Inbound leads increased by 300 percent. Sales-qualified leads grew by 650 percent. Customer lifetime value increased by 250 percent. Several enterprise accounts explicitly mentioned OPP’s content as a reason for reaching out.

The Culture Behind the Work

Behind every strategy sits a team and a shared way of working. At Dapper, culture and performance are inseparable. The way we collaborate, challenge each other, and take ownership directly impacts the quality and consistency of our work.

We operate with a long-term mindset, a strong focus on craftsmanship, and close collaboration across teams. This creates clarity, improves execution, and allows us to raise the bar week after week.

Our culture is guided by three core values:

• Play
• We believe the best work is created when people are curious, engaged, and enjoying what they do. Play keeps us creative, human, and open to ideas that move beyond standard B2B thinking.
• Peak Performance
• We commit fully to quality and execution. Clear ownership, high standards, and continuous improvement allow us to deliver work that compounds over time.
• Pioneer
• We challenge conventions, explore new formats, and move beyond safe solutions. Not to stand out for the sake of it, but to remain relevant and distinctive in a crowded B2B landscape.

Together, these values shape a way of working that supports better decisions, consistent execution, and results that last beyond short-term pressure.

What Comes Next

This award confirms that our approach works, but it does not change our direction.

Strong B2B brands are built through clear narratives, consistent visibility, and teams that share their expertise openly. That remains our focus.

We will continue helping B2B companies build demand before buyers are ready, while constantly improving how we do that over time.
