At Are Agency, we believe that strong marketing is created when strategy, creativity, and technology reinforce one another. By acquiring a stake in Swift Agency, we are taking a new step toward realizing that vision. By combining our expertise, we aim to support businesses even better as they grow.
Stronger Together in Marketing
The challenges companies face today are becoming increasingly multifaceted. A strong online presence is important, but data, artificial intelligence, relevant content, and a well-thought-out digital strategy are also playing an increasingly important role.
It’s not always easy—especially for SMEs—to have all that expertise in-house. At Are Agency, we want to provide a solution to that challenge. That’s why we’re building a network where specialized teams share their knowledge and support one another.
Our investment in Swift is in line with that ambition. By acquiring this Antwerp-based marketing agency, we are bringing additional experience and expertise in-house, with a strong focus on SMEs and their specific challenges.
A complementary mix of expertise
Swift supports businesses with a wide range of marketing services, including websites, social media, online advertising, branding, content creation, and video production. The agency combines a hands-on approach with personalized guidance and a deep understanding of the day-to-day realities of small and medium-sized businesses.
At Are Agency, we focus on the interplay between marketing, data, artificial intelligence, and development. By combining that expertise with Swift’s experience, we can support our clients from a broader perspective.
We see opportunities primarily in the connection between strategy and execution. For example, creative campaigns can be enhanced with data insights, while technological solutions help companies organize their marketing more efficiently.
Our goal is not only to help companies increase their visibility, but also to help them operate in a more targeted manner and better align their marketing efforts with their business objectives.
Swift’s unique character will be preserved
In this partnership, we believe it is important to build on what already makes Swift strong today. The agency will retain its own name, identity, and operations. The trusted relationships with clients will also remain a key priority.
We don’t want to change Swift’s existing strengths, but rather to build on them. By providing access to additional expertise and knowledge within our group, we create opportunities for further development without losing sight of our personal approach.
For clients, this means, above all, additional opportunities. They can continue to count on Swift’s trusted guidance while also benefiting from the broader expertise available within the group.
Technology with Clear Added Value
Artificial intelligence, data, and digital innovation offer companies a wealth of opportunities. However, we do not believe in implementing technology just for the sake of implementing technology. The real added value arises when new possibilities solve a specific problem or contribute to better results.
That is why we want to continue to base our collaboration on the client’s needs. What goals does a company want to achieve? Where are the greatest opportunities for growth? And what combination of strategy, creativity, and technology can help achieve those goals?
By combining the expertise of Are Agency and Swift, we can approach these questions from different perspectives. This helps us develop solutions that align with the realities of businesses and evolve alongside their needs.
Building a group of specialized companies
Our investment in Swift aligns with our broader ambition to bring specialized companies together under one umbrella. In addition to Are Agency and Swift, Simba Service, Onlimited, and Vinix are also part of this group.
Every company has its own identity, expertise, and way of working. We see that very diversity as a strength. By sharing knowledge and collaborating where it adds value, we can offer our clients broader support.
We believe that this approach allows us to remain flexible, apply our expertise in a targeted manner, and capitalize on new opportunities—not by having all companies operate in the same way, but by connecting their individual strengths.
Moving Forward Together
Through our investment in Swift, we’re strengthening our presence in the marketing sector and taking the next step in the continued expansion of our group.
For us, this partnership is first and foremost about people, knowledge, and shared ambitions. By combining Swift’s personalized approach with the existing expertise of Are Agency and the other companies within our group, we aim to help businesses take their marketing to the next level.
