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.

A collage of five-star client reviews, including: Our campaign results have well and truly exceeded expectations (Geoff Craig, YouLive To Travel); The results of the B2B outreach speak for themselves (Moish Ekman, Ensure Group); They absolutely got what we were trying to achieve and executed perfectly (Richard Lamport, Kalgin Global Logistics).

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.

  • From $5,000/month

About fractional CMO

A diagram: your fractional CMO, for strategy and leadership, linked to four team areas: lead gen, content, social and ads. Below, the first 90 days: understand and plan, launch and test, optimise and scale.

Rather run it in-house? We'll build you a system to own.
