A small senior teamwith outsized receipts.

Schnalz.net runs on a simple bet: a small, senior team with the right tools beats a big agency in a slide-heavy meeting room. Two practices — marketing and software — one workshop, run by people who pick up the phone.

The story

Two decades of campaigns. Senior people who own the outcome.

Schnalz.net started in Hong Kong as a hands-on practice and grew into a working studio. The thread through every engagement — from a digital-asset exchange listed on the New York Stock Exchange to a self-published German vocabulary app — is the same: do the work, ship it, learn from the numbers.

Today the focus is where buyers now look first: AI answers. GEO — getting brands cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity — is our flagship service, built on the technical SEO, Google Ads and web engineering we have practised for years.

  • We run marketing for ambitious brands across FinTech, e-commerce and events.
  • We ship our own iOS and Android apps under the Schnalz Studio label.
  • The agency funds the studio. The studio proves the agency knows what shipping feels like.

How we operate

Four things we won't compromise on.

If a channel stops working, we say so.

Even if it shrinks our invoice. Especially if it shrinks our invoice.

If we can't measure it, we don't sell it.

Every engagement ships with a KPI. No vanity metrics, no brand-lift theatre.

The work has to ship.

Strategy decks are a means, not the deliverable. Campaigns running beat presentations rehearsed.

Senior people own your account.

You won't be handed to a junior. The person on your kickoff is the person on your quarter-end call.

About the studio

Trust questions, plainly answered.

How big is the Schnalz team?
Lean and senior on purpose: a tight, senior core plus a network of trusted specialists — designers, developers, copywriters, video — brought in per project. You always work with the senior people who do the work: no junior account managers, no offshore handoffs, no team rotations.
Who runs Schnalz.net?
Schnalz.net is run from Hong Kong by senior people with two decades of marketing experience across blockchain (block.one, EOS), digital-asset exchanges (Bullish, New York Stock Exchange: BLSH), large-scale events (Hong Kong FinTech Week, 45,000+ attendees) and luxury e-commerce (Cristel France, Expansys). The same senior hands write the code for the studio's own apps.
How long has Schnalz.net been operating?
Active since 2014 in various forms; the current studio identity launched in 2026 to formalize the dual practice — agency and studio. Google Partner certified continuously since 2018 (agency ID 2839403546).
What kind of clients do you work best with?
Businesses with a clear KPI, a willingness to be measured, and either at least HK$3,000 a month in ad spend (Tier 1, async-only at HK$2,500 a month) or a fixed-scope project. We are a poor fit for committee-driven decisions, brand-only work without a conversion goal, or anyone looking for a set-and-forget agency.
