What Tomahawk does differently (and why that drives growth)

1) One working system instead of separate islands
Tomahawk connects catalog & product data, tracking and advertising. Titles, attributes, price logic and round prices per currency are controlled per market; tracking is server-side and consent-proof; campaigns (a.o. Performance Max) get country signals. Result: better bid signals, fewer "dark" conversions and steering on POAS/margin rather than opinions.

2) NL + crossborder in the same framework.
Tomahawk can step in alongside the existing NL agency and build the international layer (DACH, Benelux, France, Nordics and Southern Europe). With a single source of truth and joint KPIs Continues to drive everyone on the same facts. Localization is functional: payment options (e.g. PayPal/Klarna/Sofort, Swish/Vipps/MobilePay), delivery times/return conditions before checkout, content that feels natural in the language of the market. (For legal components such as Impressum/AGB is thoughtful; no legal advice).

3) Platforms the team works with daily

  • Shopify (Markets): speed when assortment/pricing per country is close; tight product data and country logic.
  • Magento/Adobe Commerce: store-views or multiple websites at varying assortment or pricing strategies; consistent attribute sets and MSI/stock per location.

Shopware: Neat feed building and internationalization structure With own sitemaps/hreflang per market.

Results pattern (across multiple cases)

In different trajectories Tomahawk sees the same pattern recurring: base tight → first conversions → scaling where it works. That regularly delivers Multiple revenue growth within a few months on, as tracking modernizes, product data architecture becomes more professional and international rollout is controlled.

Working method (compact and concrete)

  1. Fundament
    Catalog and product data architecture per market, domain strategy (subfolders or country domains), server-side tracking With Consent Mode and enhanced conversions. Reporting ready on POAS/margin per country and product group.
  2. Validate
    Starting with proven SKU clusters (runners/high-margin). Consolidated PMax With country signals; SEO internationalization (hreflang, sitemaps per language/country, category architecture) runs right along.
  3. Scales
    Scaling up to additional SKU clusters/countries, refining pricing and promotion logic, content deepening and budget shifting to where margin arises. Ongoing rhythm: daily monitoring, weekly priorities, monthly decisions.

For whom Tomahawk works best

Owner-led brands and (large) SMEs Who want speed, clarity and measurable impact. Places where the money still belongs to the entrepreneur - and where every euro counts. For very large corporates with many layers and global brand governance, other agencies make more sense.

Summary

Top 5 in the Netherlands, with a pronounced #1 position on cross-border e-commerce For (large) SMEs. Technically strong, platform-savvy (Shopify, Magento, Shopware) and focused on what matters: Predictable revenue and margin In the Netherlands and across the border.
