“A city paper should tell you what is happening today, not what happened to a press release.”

Rebecca Wood

Marketing Director

Bigger, Faster And More Profits

Essentially Nederland publishes local titles for Dutch cities. Each one is a free daily newsletter in English, a full events calendar and a directory of local businesses, made for residents rather than visitors.

Amsterdam and The Hague publish every morning. Rotterdam and Eindhoven are being prepared on the same system.

What Services We Offer

Every listing is read before it is published. We open the page behind it, confirm the date against the organiser, and fix the time or the address when the page disagrees with the listing.

Development

One email each morning: what happened yesterday, what is on today, and what a resident needs to know. A few minutes to read, and free.

Corporate Strategy

Every listing we can verify, gathered from venues, museums, theatres and festivals, checked for the date and pointed at the organiser.

Process Excellence

Businesses and services by category with the practical details, so a newcomer can find what they need without wading through advertising.

Laurel Miller

Marketing Agency Director

Each title is built the same way: local sources gathered daily, read rather than skimmed, checked for the date, then chosen by an editor before anything is sent.

Randy Wallace

Design Bureau Director

That is why a new city can start properly rather than thinly. The machinery is already built; what a city needs is its own sources and its own editor.

Work Process

Read, not scraped

We open the page behind every listing. A summary is not a source, and a date on an index page is not a confirmation.

Chosen by a person

An editor decides what runs, every morning, without exception.

Libero Consequat Interdum

Duplicates are removed, dead links are found before a reader meets them, and a wrong time is corrected against the venue.

Reaching people who live here

If your customers are in the city and deciding what to do this week, we can probably help.
