Marketing and Communications for startups
Your Chief Marketing Officer and Marketing Coordinator, and a whole lot in between.
If marketing was easy, more startups would be successful.
That’s exactly why we’re here. By only working with startups, we’ve created a service that affords you strategic direction and hands-on implementation so you get the best of both worlds.
Our clients say we’re like a CMO and a Marketing Coordinator, and a whole lot in between.
Battle tested with startups to serve you best
Get clear on your marketing priorities and level up with advice and coaching. Best for founders or teams with marketing experience and resources.
Experience the impact of a CMO and an outsourced marketing team. The best option to set you up for success and drive sustainable growth.
Execute more, faster and really super charge your marketing, without having to hire in-house across key marketing roles.
Marketing strategy and implementation, because startups need both.
Audit & Road Map
In 2 weeks, we go deep into your product, market and goals to get up to speed fast and map out your marketing priorities. A deep dive early means we add value sooner as an extension of your team.
Marketing foundations
Step 1 determines what’s next, which might include: Positioning, Minimum Viable Brand, Customer Messaging Playbook, martech tools & ops, plus plans to keep us all on track.
Execute & elevate
We roll up our sleeves and work across many areas of marketing from SEO, content, copywriting and social to design, sales & pitch decks, PR, life-cycle marketing & partners. Phew.
Our price promise
Transparent
We know you need transparency, so we’re upfront about our pricing, process and what we can do for you.
Flexible
We also understand sometimes things change, so if you need to cancel after our initial 12 weeks, you can (with 2 weeks’ notice).
Loved by founders and their teams.
"Stella has been so easy to work with, bringing flexibility, professionalism and experience to all of our work together."
"They’re the real deal."
"Stella were able to execute an operation so watertight and laser-focused that it was completed in the blink of an eye."
"Stella Startups helped us unlock our messaging and positioning, which led to a much clearer structure – particularly useful when we were building our pre-seed deck. Stella are brilliant at cutting through a founder's '700 must-haves' to help crystallise a clear, simple message."
"Working with Stella Startups is like a deep sigh of relief."
"We see Stella Startups as part of our team. They're strategic, hands-on, efficient and positive."
Questions?
No problem.
Yes for sure, we just call projects “sprints”. Our minimum engagement is 12 weeks and we start with an Audit and Road Map to plan out the sprint, so if you have a particular project in mind, let’s talk about it.
The real question is – can you afford not to? Startups that don’t invest in marketing early pay for it later. You could try figuring it out yourself (and risk getting it wrong) or hire big agencies that don’t ‘get’ startups. We’ve built Stella to be the right choice – tailor-made for B2B startups to help you get it right from day one, without wasted spend or expensive mistakes.
Yes we provide CMO strategic expertise and oversight (and then we roll up our sleeves and “do” marketing, too).
Our co-founder and Head of Marketing, Gemma Clancy, leads our CMO work, along with other senior marketers in our team.
No way! Startups need strategy and execution, and we’ve made it our mission to wrap both into a sprint service for you.
Our minimum engagement is 12 weeks, because we love helping startups and we want to make a difference for you. If you’re not sure about an initial 12 weeks, we’re happy to listen and see if our service model makes sense for you.
Usually, ASAP! But we’re also growing so sometimes that means waiting 4-6 weeks while we scale our own resources as new clients come on board. First thing’s first though: let’s get the ball rolling with a chat.
