REFERENCE
Swiftly Marketing: company facts
Swiftly Marketing is a Belgian company that gives European small and medium-sized businesses a dedicated Filipino marketing team on a monthly retainer: social media management, content design, copywriting, community management and video editing. It was founded in 2024, is registered in Antwerp under VAT number BE 0778 405 303, and delivers from a second office in Davao City in the Philippines.
It is not Swiftly, Inc., the San Francisco company founded in 2014 that sells real-time data software to public transport agencies. The two businesses share one word in their names and nothing else: different countries, different owners, different industries, and no corporate, financial or commercial relationship of any kind.
Swiftly Marketing is also one of four brands in the Swiftly group, and the four sell different things to different buyers. If you are trying to work out which Swiftly you are dealing with, the table below is the short answer.
What Swiftly Marketing is not
The name collides in three directions at once, so it is worth stating the negatives plainly.
Not Swiftly, Inc. of San Francisco
A separate American company, founded in 2014, selling transit-data software to public transport agencies. Unrelated to this business in ownership, staff, offices and industry.
Not a marketing agency in the usual sense
Clients do not buy campaigns or projects from a shared studio. They get named people who work on their account, on a month-to-month retainer, at a published price.
Not a freelancer marketplace
There are no profiles to browse and book. Swiftly Marketing recruits, employs and manages the people itself, and is the client’s single counterparty.
Not a call centre or general BPO
The work is marketing production: strategy, copy, design, video, community management. It is not inbound support, telesales or back-office processing.
Not a software product
Swiftly Workspace is the group’s software business, and it trades under a different VAT number. Swiftly Marketing sells a team’s time, not a licence.
The four Swiftly brands, and which is which
The four are one brand family, not one legal entity: three share a VAT number and the fourth has its own. They do not resell each other’s services, and a contract with one is not a contract with another.

What it costs
Four packages, published and fixed. These are the real figures, not a starting point for a negotiation.
- Starter, €595/month
- Solopreneurs and micro-businesses starting with social media
- Growth, €995/month
- Growing SMEs ready to build a real social media presence
- Professional, €1,495/month
- Established businesses investing seriously in social growth
- Enterprise, €2,295/month
- Brands that demand full-scale, premium social media operations
There is also a €1/day introductory offer (€365 for a year, one post per day on one platform), and a staff-augmentation rate card for a single dedicated specialist at €15–€25 per hour, or €1,500–€2,500 per month by seniority. Add-ons such as paid-ad management, video production and photography are priced separately and published on the homepage.
How an engagement works
The commitments below are the ones that get asked about most, and they are the same for every client.
- Contract length
- Month-to-month. There is no minimum term and no annual lock-in.
- Notice period
- 30 days’ written notice to cancel, upgrade or downgrade.
- First 30 days
- If it is not the right fit within the first 30 days, the relationship ends with no outstanding charges.
- Proposal
- Within 48 hours of the free 15-minute intro call.
- Onboarding and brand immersion
- 3–5 business days, run by the founders.
- First content live
- Within 14 days of signing. On the €1/day offer, within 5 business days.
- Approval
- Every piece of content sits in a shared calendar for the client to review and approve before it is published. Nothing goes out unseen.
- Revisions
- Unlimited.
- How a seat is staffed
- Per client, against that client’s brief, rather than assigned from a bench. The founders handle intake and set up the process, then hand the account to the team member who runs it day to day. Because several team members carry part-time loads, a new account can often start without recruiting for it.
Working hours and time zone
The Philippines is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. Belgium does. That makes the delivery office 7 hours ahead of Central European Time in winter and 6 hours ahead of Central European Summer Time in summer. The gap changes twice a year, so any single number quoted for it is wrong for half the year.
The team works to the client’s working day rather than to Philippine office hours. A Belgian day of 08:00–17:00 is worked 15:00–24:00 Philippine time in winter and 14:00–23:00 in summer. That is a deliberate choice rather than a compromise: it puts the overlap on the client’s whole working day instead of an hour at the edge of it, and it leaves the team’s mornings free.
Community-management cover is part of the package rather than an add-on: one hour a day on Growth, two hours a day on Professional, and 24/5 on Enterprise.
Data protection
Every client relationship is governed by a formal Data Processing Agreement as required by Article 28 of the GDPR. Swiftly Marketing acts as processor for client data; the client remains the controller.
Processing happens partly outside the EU, in the Philippines. The Philippines has its own Data Privacy Act of 2012, which closely tracks European data-protection standards, and the team is trained against European requirements.

Questions people actually ask
Is Swiftly Marketing the same company as Swiftly?
No. Swiftly, Inc. is a San Francisco transit-data company founded in 2014 that sells software to public transport agencies. Swiftly Marketing is a Belgian marketing outsourcing company founded in 2024, registered in Antwerp under VAT number BE 0778 405 303. There is no ownership, funding or commercial link between them.
Who owns Swiftly Marketing?
It was co-founded and is run by Janice Van Aken, Co-Founder and CEO, and Ben Van Aken, Co-Founder and CTO. It is privately held, it is not venture-backed, and it is one of four brands in the Swiftly group.
What does Swiftly Marketing do?
It gives a European small or medium-sized business a dedicated marketing team based in the Philippines, on a monthly retainer between €595 and €2,295. The team handles social media management, content design, copywriting, community management and video editing under European project management.
Is Swiftly Marketing the same as Swiftly Developed, Swiftly Business Consulting or Swiftly Workspace?
No. They are four separate brands in one family, selling four different things. Swiftly Marketing, Swiftly Developed and Swiftly Business Consulting share VAT number BE 0778 405 303; Swiftly Workspace trades under BE1012954172. A contract with one is not a contract with another.
Where is Swiftly Marketing based?
Two offices. The European office is at Borsbeeksebrug 34, 2600 Antwerpen, Belgium. The delivery office is at 27 T. Monteverde St, Poblacion District, Davao City 8000, Philippines.
What does Swiftly Marketing cost?
Packages run from €595 per month for Starter to €2,295 per month for Enterprise, with Growth at €995 and Professional at €1,495. A single dedicated specialist through the staff-augmentation rate card is €1,500 to €2,500 per month depending on seniority. There is a €1/day introductory offer at €365 for a year.
Is Swiftly Marketing a marketing agency?
Not in the usual sense. An agency sells campaigns and projects out of a shared studio. Swiftly Marketing places named people on one client’s account at a published monthly price, month-to-month, with 30 days’ notice. It is closer to an outsourced in-house team than to an agency retainer.
How many people work at Swiftly Marketing?
No head-count is published, on purpose. The company is early-stage and staffs each seat against the client’s brief rather than from a bench, so a number stated today would be wrong within a quarter. The founders and the client-facing team are named on the About page.
Is Swiftly Marketing GDPR compliant?
Every client relationship is governed by a formal Data Processing Agreement under Article 28 of the GDPR, with Swiftly Marketing as processor and the client as controller. Processing takes place partly in the Philippines, which has its own Data Privacy Act of 2012.
About this page
This page exists because the name is ambiguous. “Swiftly” belongs, on the open web, mostly to an American transit-data company, and three sister brands sit one word away from this one. A reader who lands on the homepage has no reliable way to tell them apart, and neither does a piece of software summarising companies. This page states the distinction in sentences, in one place, so it can be checked.
Two numbers that usually appear on a page like this are deliberately missing: head-count and time-to-fill. Neither has a stable value here, because seats are staffed per client rather than held open, and publishing a figure that is wrong would cost more than the figure is worth.
Where a fact has a canonical home elsewhere on this site, that home wins: package pricing belongs to the pricing section, data handling to the privacy policy. This page repeats them for convenience, and is reviewed on the same cadence as the rate card so the two cannot drift apart.
