Proof, not promises

Work that caught.

A couple of the fires we've helped build.

Mindsmith.ai

Growth from the ground up

Context

Founding marketer at an early-stage AI company.

What we did

Built the full self-serve funnel in HubSpot (acquisition to retention), ran four trade shows across North America and Europe, and stood up the dashboards and tools to run it all.

Result

21% month-over-month user growth on a $700K+ budget, 300+ qualified leads from shows in four months, and internal tools that saved 5+ hours a week and $10K.

AARP.org

Found, and converting

Context

Digital platform work on one of the largest member sites in the US.

What we did

Led new digital features across UX and backend through the full lifecycle, coordinating IT, UX, marketing, and executive leadership.

Result

37% increase in page views, 1.6M provider referrals, and AARP's "Content Powerhouse" SEO award.

Who we are

Small studio. Senior hands. Real fire.

First Ember Marketing is a boutique studio for founders and teams who are done with generic. You get the strategic thinking of a big agency and the speed of a partner who actually cares: no bloat, no hand-offs, just senior hands on the work that moves the needle. Built by an MBA marketer who has driven growth at Dell, AARP, Trove Brands, and an AI startup.
