Bored of Boring Marketing?
We turn dry brands into digital personalities.
Strategy, creation, and consulting. Done the modern way.
Free strategy call. Zero corporate fluff.
Strategy
We don’t guess. We plan. From brand voice to platform mix, we build a social strategy that actually works instead of just sounding smart.
Content Creation
We shoot, edit, write, and meme your brand into relevance. Scroll-stopping visuals, punchy copy, and content people actually want to watch.
Performance Marketing
We make ads that don’t look like ads. And they perform like magic. From creative campaigns to A/B testing, we turn your reach into results.
Social Media Management
We handle your socials like they’re our own. Posting, engaging, scheduling, all with your brand voice dialed in perfectly.
Social Media Consulting
Your brand therapy session. We help you (or your team) master the game: smarter content, stronger presence, less guesswork.
Reporting
We love data, but we keep it human. You’ll get clear, simple reports showing what’s working, what’s not, and how to fix it fast.
We don’t just post. We build presence.

FAQ
What does Bored Marketing do?
Bored Marketing is a creator-led social media agency for Zürich and Switzerland. We plan strategy, create content, run Meta and TikTok ads, and manage social media for brands that refuse to look boring.
What does “creator-led social media agency” mean?
It means the agency is run by people who create, not just consult. Marco Andre Da Silva built an audience of over 4 million followers before co-founding Bored Marketing, so every strategy comes from people who actually post.
Where is Bored Marketing based?
We’re based in the Lake Zurich region of Switzerland and work with brands in Zürich and across the country. Strategy calls and reporting run remotely, and content gets shot wherever your brand lives.
Who is behind Bored Marketing?
Bored Marketing was founded by Marco Andre Da Silva and Shelby Thompson. Marco is a creator with over 4 million followers who has worked with BOSS, Calvin Klein, and Heineken. Shelby Thompson has led social media for Migros and Miele.
What services does Bored Marketing offer?
Six, all under one roof: strategy, content creation, performance marketing, social media management, reporting, and social media consulting. Whether you need one or all six, everything is built on the same strategy.
Which platforms do you work on?
Instagram and TikTok are home base. We create organic content for both and run paid Meta and TikTok ads for brands across Switzerland.
What kind of brands do you work with?
Premium consumer brands, experience businesses like events, hospitality and venues, and bold owners in “boring” industries who want to stand out. If you’re shopping for the cheapest posting service, we’re not your agency.
How much does a social media agency like Bored Marketing cost?
Every package is scoped to your brand after a free strategy call, so we don’t publish fixed prices. You tell us your goals, and we send a clear proposal with no surprises.
How do I start working with Bored Marketing?
Book a free call. We talk through your brand, goals, and platforms, then send a proposal. No obligation, and nothing gets produced before the strategy is clear. Not a call person? Email hello@boredmarketing.io and a human answers.
Do you run paid ads or only organic content?
Both. We create organic content and run Meta and TikTok ads, and we tell you straight when one will do more for your goals than the other.
Do you work in English and German?
Yes. We work in English and German, so your content speaks the language your audience actually scrolls in.
Does Bored Marketing work with restaurants and bars in Zürich?
Yes. Restaurants, bars and other experience businesses are one of our three core client types, alongside premium consumer brands and bold owners in “boring” industries. If you sell moments people want to be part of, we build the content and ads to fill the room.
Do you work with brands outside Switzerland?
Our focus is Switzerland, with a strong base around Zürich and the Lake Zurich region. We’re open to international brands who want that same Swiss-market presence, but Swiss brands and local reach are where we do our best work.
How fast can Bored Marketing start?
Right after the call. Once you’ve said yes to the proposal, we start straight away. No waiting list.
What is the difference between social media management and social media consulting?
Management means we run your accounts for you: content, posting, community and reporting. Consulting means we mentor you or your team and help you make better decisions while you run your own channels. You can also combine both: we manage your accounts and advise you on the bigger calls.
Do you have results to show?
Yes. For Mission: Escape in Zürich, our Halloween campaign in October 2025 reached over 2.4 million organic Instagram views and 332,000 on TikTok with zero ad spend. The event sold out. Want numbers like that for your brand? That’s what the free call is for.
