Marketing led by people who've built companies.
We're a B2B marketing agency for founder-led businesses. Lead generation, content, social and ads, run for you by a senior team.
Marketing for founder-led B2B businesses.
From early-stage startups to established companies, we work with founders who need real marketing without building a full team. Senior strategy and hands-on execution, without the cost or the headcount.

Led by founders, not just marketers.
Shoestring is led by founders who've built and scaled companies themselves, with a hand-picked global team behind them. Emma has founded and scaled three companies, with exits including one to Groupon. Jo-Ann is a Chartered Accountant with strategy experience from Unilever and high-growth SaaS.
