Marketing is an investment in the company’s value. This deserves an ecosystem installed for both marketing and C-level, including amongst others solid processes, KPIs, SLAs, budget creation and market conform supplier contracts.
Unfortunately, we still see a lot of companies treating marketing as a mystery and keeping their hands off.
Hence, a black box is created.
MiM opens the black box of marketing and delves marketing into the 21st century as an important solid primary pilar of the company strategy. Sustainable growth and profitability are the main objectives with a key focus on ROI opposed to activities. MiM aims to be more beta driven without harming the creativity with more accountability, transparency and more compliant.
Effective and efficient with less risks.
Money well spent!
We combine objectivity, integrity and measurable impact with a “can do” mentality. We are result-driven.
MiM was founded in 2015 by Hans Germeraad and George Bohlander in a strategic alliance with The Source Group.
Nowadays, we provide a comprehensive overview of your current state of marketing operations. We look at effectiveness, efficiency, risks, transparency, governance, compliance, control and brand safety.

We view marketing as an investment
That is why we call ourselves MiM: Marketing Investment Management. With every investment you typically look at your results, ROI, risks, governance, compliance. Do you also review these for your marketing investments?
We do
By looking at all these issues, analysing them, making recommendations and operationally improving them. The main question is: is the money well spent? Well spent in the sense of effectiveness, efficiency, risk, transparency, governance, compliance, control and brand safety.
Marketing Communications, (social) media, promotion, advertising, sponsoring, SEA, POP-materials, flyers, PR. Many different terminologies are used. We know it is not right but for the sake of simplicity we just call it Marketing or MarCom.
