Bram Vergouwen
Marketing Manager & Strategy Consultant
I help founder-led businesses and lean teams turn messy marketing into clearer systems for growth.
With 8+ years experience across search, strategy, and hands-on marketing execution, I take a practical approach to developing marketing strategies that help teams move from reactive marketing to a more deliberate, data-driven approach.
Currently leading marketing at Melapress and exploring how digital companies grow through smarter systems & strategies, not just bigger budgets.
GET PERSPECTIVE
“High quality work, delivered fast with a lot of professionalism. Very good cost for value. Extremely satisfied of Bram's work.”
"Bram did a very good job in providing strategic and tactical SEO advice. He went above expectations and also provided advice from a business (marketing) perspective, which was very helpful."
“Bram from Vergouwen Media is one of the most professional people we’ve ever met. We couldn’t make it without him. I highly recommend VergouwenMedia.”
Where strategy meets execution
The most interesting work happens where planning meets doing. That’s where positioning turns into campaigns, strategy turns into tests and systems, and ideas turn into measurable outcomes.
I enjoy moving between those layers: shaping the broader vision, setting up the systems that support it, and making sure every experiment or initiative connects back to real business goals.

Some of the Companies & Teams I’ve Worked With
From product teams to founder-led businesses, I've had the pleasure to work with a broad range of teams and founders over the past 8+ years, as a freelancer in SEO/content marketing, marketing manager, or consultant.
Core pillars
How I like to work
Start with curiosity
Curiosity comes before certainty. Every business, market, and product is different, so I approach each one with an open mind. Learn through data, observation, and experimentation first, act second.
No empty tactics
Everything should serve a clear purpose and connect to the bigger picture. That’s how you squeeze more value out of the work already being done and keep campaigns integrated.
Clarity first
Execution only matters when it’s built on clarity, goals, positioning, direction... Get that right, and every tactic gets more effective.
Truth beats comfort
Clarity about what’s working and what’s not. It’s never personal; it’s about getting to the truth fast so the team can move faster.
From experimentation to marketing systems
A brief timeline of how I got here
My interest in marketing and business started way back in 2007, when I was about 11, and with the help of my family, we built a small website about my pet leopard gecko, Leo. Although I didn't learn much marketing theory back then, I did learn about hiding white text on a white background, which is a fun badge of honor from the early days of SEO.
That curiosity stuck. By 2015, I was building my first eCommerce projects, writing about business and marketing, and running small experiments to grow traffic and audiences. There was no grand plan, just a lot of testing, learning, and gradually understanding what actually moves the needle.
In 2017, I registered my business and started doing marketing full-time. The early years were broad: SEO, content, ads, social, technical cleanup. Anything that helped clients grow.
From 2019 onward, my focus narrowed around SEO, content, and scalable growth. I helped build and grow multiple sites from scratch, scaled client projects from thousands to six figures in monthly traffic, and learned how compounding works in practice (while also falling flat on my face more times than I can count).
Over the years, I've worked with clients in the web and digital product space, including eCommerce, SaaS, service providers, and agencies, and many of those relationships still continue today.
Since Jan 2025, I've been heading marketing at Melapress full-time, and have been enjoying the work since. On top of my work at Melapress, I still regularly take on ad-hoc work from legacy freelance clients, some of which I've been working with for well over 5 years now, as well as offer free "perspective sessions" with founders and marketers.
A practical technical foundation
I often work closely with founders and small teams, which means my role regularly extends beyond pure marketing alone into systems, processes, and how work actually gets done.
That includes exposure to business operations, information security, data management, and marketing automation, supported by certifications such as CompTIA Security+, EXIN Business Information Management (BiSL), and ISO/IEC 27001, as well as a full-stack web development bootcamp (PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
This background helps me connect strategy with execution: working more effectively with technical and product teams, improving how automation and analytics are used, and positioning technical B2B and SaaS products in a way that makes sense to real buyers.
