A passionate full-stack digital marketing and sales agency

We’re a full-stack digital marketing and sales agency based in the historic city center of Leiden, The Netherlands. From strategy to implementation, we’re here to help make your publishing brand shine.

The foundation of Leiden University during the sixteenth century paved the way for the city to become one of the most prominent knowledge centers in the world. This drew many influential publishers, printers and booksellers, who settled here and put Leiden on the map as publishing city for the centuries to come. Christophe Plantin, Louis Elzevier, Jordaan Luchtmans: all greats of the publishing world. We, at Clavis Aurea, have set ourselves the duty to continue the tradition of keeping knowledge widely available and nourish Leiden’s historical reputation as a liberal town of books, by becoming the most dynamic and dedicated publishers’ agency on the market.
