15 years. 400+ clients.
One promise: results you can measure.
What began as curiosity grew into a journey of more than 15 years. Today Nordsteg is one of the few performance marketing agencies in Austria that doesn't just promise results - but makes them measurable.
Why Nordsteg?
Three things we do differently
Cancellable daily
We don't lock you into 12-month contracts. If the results aren't right, you can walk away any day. The fact that our clients nevertheless stay with us for over 5 years on average says more than any contract.
Measurable down to the last euro
Every euro you invest in marketing has to be traceable. We don't just show you clicks and impressions – we show you which campaign brought which revenue.
System, not single measures
We don't build campaigns. We build marketing systems that get better over time. Strategy, performance and ongoing optimisation – everything works together.
How it all started
In 2010 Nicolas Fabjan asked himself one question:
Why does this website have no visitors?
What began as curiosity grew into a journey of more than 15 years. Today Nordsteg is one of the few performance marketing agencies in Austria that doesn't just promise results, but makes them measurable – and still lets its clients cancel daily. Our drive hasn't changed: we want to understand what works – and put it into action for our clients.

What our work achieves
Over 400 companies trust Nordsteg. Not because they have to – but because the results speak for themselves. Four examples:
From zero to seven figures: 5+ years of growth with an online pharmacy
An Austrian pharmacist wanted to move into e-commerce – starting from zero. No shop revenue, no campaigns, no tracking, no newsletter. Everything had to be built from scratch.
From €0 to seven-figure annual revenue in 5 years. Growth every single year – not one decline. Discovered a critical checkout bug that caused 44 % of all mobile cart abandonments.
From reach to revenue: performance transformation for an international cosmetics company
The previous agency optimised for impressions and reach instead of revenue. No clean tracking, reporting only every three months, conversion rate under 1 %. Marketing budget was flowing – but nobody knew what it was delivering.
Online shop revenue more than doubled within 24 months. Conversion rate lifted from under 1 % to over 5 %. Monthly performance reporting instead of quarterly reports.
Marketing rebuilt from scratch: doubled revenue two years in a row for an international manufacturer
No tracking, no funnel reporting, no strategic newsletter marketing. The previous agency had run campaigns without performance expertise – CPC optimisation instead of conversions. Revenue was in the six-figure range, but nobody knew which channel contributed what.
Revenue doubled two years in a row. Entire campaign structure rebuilt. Newsletter and funnel reporting introduced from zero. Marketing became steerable for the first time.
+150 % bookings in 12 months with no increase in ad spend
An Austrian hotel had a motivated in-house team, but neither the time nor the specialist knowledge for effective online marketing. The willingness was there, the know-how was missing: where to start? Which campaigns actually bring bookings?
+150 % bookings within 12 months at the same ad budget. Entirely new guest segments and source markets unlocked. Strongest month: enquiries tenfold vs. the previous year.
Your industry isn't on the list? No problem. Whether B2B, e-commerce or services – the approach works across industries. We've worked with over 400 different companies.
Our approach: structure beats chance
Most agencies start with campaigns.
We start with a plan.
Step 1: Strategy
Before a single euro is spent on ads, we clarify the fundamentals. Who is your target audience? What does the customer journey look like? Which channels have the greatest potential? The result: your personal Marketing Masterplan.
Step 2: Performance
Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO – we turn the strategy into measurable campaigns. No gut-feeling decisions, but data-driven optimisation. Weekly.
Step 3: Coaching & Optimisation
Marketing is not a project with an end date. We support you on an ongoing basis, test new approaches and scale what works. Your marketing gets better every month.
