About Elevalo

We got tired of marketing that ends in likes.

Elevalo is a performance marketing agency for companies in the United States, the German-speaking countries and Colombia. We run search, paid media, social, brand and web as one plan, and we report on what it returned in clients and revenue.

Why we started Elevalo

Between us we have spent more than eighteen years in marketing, in-house, in agencies and on our own. Everywhere we worked, we saw the same thing. The report said the campaign had worked. The business could not feel it.

Followers went up. Likes went up. The monthly deck got longer. Revenue stayed where it was, and nobody could say why. We grew tired of empty numbers, and tired of explaining them to owners who deserved better.

So we built the agency we would have wanted to hire. The target is agreed in clients and revenue before any work starts. The person who plans your marketing is the person who runs it. And you hear from us before you have to ask.

Since then we have helped companies across the United States, the German-speaking countries and Colombia position their brands and earn the growth their work deserves. The report still exists. It is just shorter now, and every number on it is one you can bank.

Our mission

Turn marketing into a source of revenue a business owner can see, plan around and trust.
Our vision

Marketing judged the way any other investment is judged: by what it returns. In every market we serve.

Sound familiar?

These are the sentences we hear most often in a first call. Here is what changes when you work with us.

What we hear: “Our agency only calls when the invoice is due.”

What changes with us: You get one person who knows where every piece of work stands. A short written update lands every month, whether the news is good or not.
What we hear: “We have paid for marketing for years, and growth never settles into something steady.”

What changes with us: We agree on a revenue target before we start and plan backwards from it. If a channel is not moving that target, we say so and change the plan, not the report.
What we hear: “Our followers keep growing. Our client list does not.”

What changes with us: Attention is the first step, not the goal. Every piece of content has a job on a path that ends in an enquiry, and we track that path from first view to signed client.
What we hear: “Every report is full of numbers we cannot do anything with.”

What changes with us: One page. The target, where you stand against it, what we did, what we do next. If a number does not help you decide something, it is not on the page.
What we hear: “We want to grow in another country, and nobody speaks the market.”

What changes with us: Our team works natively in English, German and Spanish. Campaigns for the United States, DACH and Colombia are written in the market, not translated into it.

What we believe

01
Revenue is the report

If it doesn't show up in pipeline, it doesn't count. We agree on targets before we start.
02
One system, not silos

Search, paid, social, and web run as one plan with one owner, not four vendors.
03
Native to each market

Campaigns built in the market's language and culture, not translated afterwards.
04
We scope smaller than the pitch

If one channel can carry the target, we quote that channel and say so. A retainer you do not need is the fastest way to lose a client.
05
Senior from the first week

The person who scopes your programme is the person who runs it. There is no handover to a junior team once the contract is signed.

Three markets, one standard

We work where our team has lived and sold. Each market gets a campaign built in its own language and culture, and the same one-page report.

United States

English

Search, paid media and social for companies that want a predictable pipeline, run in English by people who have done it in-house.
DACH

German

Germany, Austria and Switzerland, served in German by native speakers, with the directness the market expects.
Colombia

Spanish

Brand, content and search in Spanish, for companies that want to be found and chosen at home and abroad.

The people who run the work

Five department heads, one per discipline. The person who scopes your programme is the person who runs it, and there is no handover to a junior team once the contract is signed.

Questions people ask before working with us

What kind of marketing agency is Elevalo?

Elevalo is a B2B performance marketing agency. We run search engine optimisation, paid media, social media, branding and web design as one plan, and we report on the clients and revenue the work returned.

Which markets does Elevalo work in?

The United States, the German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and Colombia. Each market is served in its own language by native speakers on our team.

How is Elevalo different from other digital marketing agencies?

We agree on a revenue target before any work starts, the person who plans your marketing is the person who runs it, and our monthly report fits on one page. If a channel is not moving the target, we change the plan rather than the report.

How does Elevalo measure success?

In enquiries, clients and revenue against the target we agreed on, with the timeframe it was measured in. Followers, likes and impressions are tracked, but they are not the result.

Who founded Elevalo?

David Köhler and Valentina Palacios founded Elevalo in 2026. David heads search and has more than ten years in SEO in-house and at agencies. Valentina heads branding and social media, and is a psychologist and journalist with eight years in brand work.

Who will I work with?

A department head from the first call, not an account manager. David, Valentina, Nicole, Andres and Lennart run search, brand and social, design, paid media and project management respectively.
