StartUp Marketing Clinic
Free, Expert Marketing Guidance for StartUps

The SMC+ is a monthly marketing event designed to help startups who need a little support or direction with their marketing challenges.


The Open Tables are designed to give you a chance to get into the details of your marketing challenges.
DESIGNED WITH YOU IN MIND



This is where you need to go when your startup doesn’t quite “look” or feel the part yet. You can discuss topics like:
-
Visual identity (logos, colour palettes, brand consistency)
-
Brand tone of voice (how you sound across channels)
-
Brand story (founder narrative, mission, vision)
-
Naming (for companies, products, features)
-
Graphic design (templates, social media assets, pitch decks)
-
Brand guidelines (creating or refining a brand kit)
