About Niklas

Before Leadanic existed, I built and scaled growth teams in B2B companies. As Head of Growth at Scanbot SDK, I increased lead generation by more than 250% and doubled the sales pipeline - with a budget of under one million euros per year.

Scanbot SDK was acquired by Apryse in 2025 - with the pipeline as a central value driver of the acquisition. Since 2025, I lead the Answer Engine Optimization strategy and the entire Developer Marketing department at Apryse as Director AEO & Developer Marketing.

I founded Leadanic because I saw how most agencies treat B2B: reports full of impressions and click rates, but not a single qualified lead. My approach is different - every action must measurably contribute to pipeline.
