🤙🏼 Floris de Schrijver's Linkedin Analytics

At the age of 12 I taught my granddad how to make a website to host family photos on. Full built in html and hosted on our own server (a desktop which we couldn’t turn off anymore 😂). It was around that time that my love for code, automation and marketing must have started. Due to puberty I neglected this 'skill'. At the age of 23 I tried to get in at a local marketing agency. It's where I started doing SEO. And after a while Google Ads crossed my path. I have never let it slip away. And immediately tried to outperform all my colleagues who where in the business for a long time. Wasted a lot of Ad spend doing so. When Google Ads scripts got my attention I was 25. I used and edited existing ones and I learned a lot, the performance went really well. After some years working at the agency I took some time off traveling. When I returned I started FloBoost as a freelancer. I used my agency experience for my clients, started working with automations and I did lost of courses to become better at marketing and tracking. After a while an old colleague called me and asked me to help at their agency. They 'won' a big client and it needed growth / improvement. I have to say that I learned everything at that one account. From Google Ads to project management and CRO. Thanks Fightclub ! In the end they offered me a great full-time position, I declined. For two reasons: - I knew for a long time building my own company was a dream. - I knew some agencies we're cowboys and I wanted to change that. After a year hustling around I needed a break, we went to Sri Lanka in feb. 2022. I hired a few freelancers to manage the clients/accounts and project management for me. Thomas van Miert was one of them. When I came back I knew this was the start of an agency. Somewhere at the end of the summer 2022 I started sharing knowledge and Google Ads scripts. As well as in different PPC communities and here on LinkedIn. It boosted my (personal) brand a lot and I got more requests than I could handle. 3 more specialists entered FloBoost around January 2023. In May 2023 I decided to rebrand to 'Flowboost' and to take Thomas van Miert on as a partner. I am very happy he took the opportunity. Together with him and other specialist we're building amazing marketing companies. In January 2024 we’ve acquired 50% of the shares in backlink.nl which is the most transparent linkbuilding and PR platform in NL. Fast forward to 2025 we’re with 13 FTE and 21 people in total, just a crazy ride is already is. To be continued... 🤙🏼
