About

Built by people shipping social commerce in Europe.

Most of the writing on European social commerce comes from US-centric consultancies reading press releases. SCEU is closer to the ground. We help brands win the market by knowing it firsthand — platform by platform, country by country.

Founder

Senne de Maa — building SCEU from the inside out.

I started Social Commerce Europe because every brand I spoke to was hitting the same wall: the playbooks they were reading were written for the US market. Europe is fragmented — different platforms, different consumer behavior, different rules per country. The brands winning here aren't copying Shein or LTK; they're operating with European context.

SCEU is the partner I wish those brands had when I was on the inside. We do strategy, activation, and training across the nine EU markets where social commerce is actually working — with an opinion, a number, and a recommendation behind every call.

Mission
We exist to make European brands competitive in a market that's growing faster than every other region — and we do it with the kind of specific, sourced, on-the-ground intelligence that most agencies don't bother with.
