Poet Farmer

Based in Rotterdam with additional roots in Malaysia, Poet Farmer is a small full service digital agency, operating with a team of between one and ten people, that combines strategy, design and development. Its client roster leans heavily toward institutions working in governance, public policy and international cooperation, including organisations such as IDEA International, the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy, the European Union Global Diaspora Facility and the Rotterdam Municipality, alongside commercial and healthcare-related clients like Snap-on Tools, De Hoop Leven, Haerst and Informed.plus. This mix suggests the agency is used both by international bodies needing complex information platforms and by companies and public services seeking digital transformation support. The agency's declared services span Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Marketing, UX/UI Design, Web Design and Web Development, and its case list reflects concrete applications of these: building digital libraries and knowledge hubs (such as the UN & Democracy Hub and the Judiciary Hub), data collection and analysis platforms (Public Participation Platform), advisory and tracking tools (Take note of lead, Global State of Democracy Tracker), and custom software such as an Industrial IoT platform for RIIPP. Its stated design approach begins with mapping user journeys before addressing visual aesthetics, prioritising function over form. On the development side, it describes building web applications and websites using flexible frameworks intended to be robust, secure and scalable.
