About DW Media Online
Who we are
Marketing and communication with structure, focus, and measurable results
DW Media Online is a digital platform and software agency that designs, builds, and grows complete digital products — from international content networks to consumer platforms and custom software (SaaS), with our own AI division, DW Media AI, as the engine. We help organizations grow by bringing strategy, content, and online marketing together in one clear approach.
No standalone campaigns or quick fixes, but a structured approach with clear goals, short lines of communication, and complete transparency. We take the lead, create structure, and ensure that strategy, content, SEO, and online marketing reinforce each other.
Growth strategy
This suits your organization (not isolated actions, but a plan with priorities)
Marketing communication
which is clear, recognizable, and consistent (so that people remember and trust you)
Measurable execution
Through content, campaigns, and optimization (so you know what works)
Working together towards one goal
Direction and structure
We take the lead in marketing and communication and ensure overview and coherence. With clear agreements, a fixed schedule, and measurable goals, we build marketing that continues to work and is scalable.
Collaboration and optimization
We work closely with our clients as one team. By continuously measuring, testing, and adjusting, we improve what works step by step and stop doing what yields no results.

About Shiva the Winter
Expertise in growth, structure, and communication from practice
DW Media Online is led by Shiva de Winter. His expertise in growth and communication was shaped in an environment where trust, quality, and results must be right every week: swimming instruction.
Entrepreneurial experience
Building, improving, and scaling up. Shiva is the founder/owner of Zwemschool De Winter Sport and works with an approach centered on structure, measurable progress, and continuous optimization. What stands out (and is directly relevant to marketing communications):
- Clear methodology and phases with measurable goals (clear route to results)
- Continuous optimization based on progress data and feedback (learning what works and adjusting)
- Focus on personal attention and quality as a distinguishing feature (clear positioning)
Communication under pressure
Staying clear when it matters; in addition to the daily operations at the swimming school, Shiva has also had a national impact regarding swimming safety and policy, including through sector input for OMT advice and commitment to accessible swimming education.
That experience is reflected in how DW Media Online communicates:
- Factual and clear
- focused on support and trust
- with an eye for various stakeholders (customer, team, partners)
From practice to marketing
Growth you can steer is the common thread: building systems that are scalable. Not shouting louder, but designing smarter:
- Clear proposition
- Consistent message
- Measurable actions
- Optimize every month

About Cas de Groot
All-round Digital Marketer & Web Designer
With a background in Communication & Multimedia Design, he combines strategic insight with technical and creative execution. During his studies and various internships, he gained broad experience in marketing, UX design, web development, and digital strategy.

Within DW Media Online, he translates vision into concrete, measurable solutions. He works both strategically and operationally and appreciates short lines of communication, clear choices, and visible progress.
Vision
Digital marketing and web design must be right from every angle. Not only visually, but also strategically and technically. A strong online presence starts with understanding the real user. Who are they? What are they looking for? What do they need to make a decision?
Working based on data and research avoids assumptions and instead leads to substantiated choices that result in better user experiences and higher conversion.
Approach
His strength lies in combining analysis and creativity. By quickly recognizing patterns and areas for improvement, he translates insights into clear structures, logical user flows, and effective websites.
A good website must feel intuitive: visitors should be able to find what they are looking for effortlessly and perform without barriers. Functionality, clarity, and results are always central.
Goal
The goal is clear: to make digital projects successful and help companies grow structurally. Not only by creating beautiful designs, but by building solutions that contribute measurably to leads, conversions, and brand strengthening.
