By stage

What we do depends on where you are

Pre-seed / Seed

Get your first repeatable channel

Positioning, landing pages that convert, founder-led content systems, and one or two paid experiments run properly — instead of five channels run badly. We help you find the channel worth scaling before you burn the round on all of them.

Series A

Build the growth engine

You've found signal — now it needs infrastructure. Full-funnel paid, SEO foundations, lifecycle email, sales enablement, and the analytics to know what's actually working. Senior operators who've done this at your stage, not a graduate pod.

Series B+

Scale without the headcount spiral

Augment your in-house team with specialists on demand — performance, CRO, automation, design, dev — without adding six salaries. We slot into your standups and your tools, and flex up or down monthly.

01Why do startups need a different kind of marketing agency?

Startups can't afford 6-month retainers, 90-day onboarding, or junior teams learning on their budget. They need senior judgment about what NOT to do, fast execution, and pricing that flexes with the company. That's the model Heptism was built around: flat monthly fee, senior-only team, cancel anytime.

02How much should a startup spend on marketing?

Most B2B startups between seed and Series B spend 10–20% of target ARR growth on marketing. Our plans start at $1,999/mo USD — deliberately less than a single junior hire — so you can put the rest into paid media and experiments.

03We don't have product-market fit yet. Can you still help?

Yes, but honestly: pre-PMF you need positioning, fast landing-page tests, and founder-led distribution — not a big agency engagement. Our Starter plan covers exactly that scope. We'll tell you if you're not ready for more; locking startups into services they don't need is how agencies lose referrals.

04How do you compare to hiring an in-house marketer?

A good first marketing hire costs $90k–$140k plus ramp time, and one person can't cover ads, SEO, content, design, and automation. For less than half that, you get a senior team across all of them — and if priorities change, you change plans instead of running a layoff.

05What results should we expect in the first 90 days?

Weeks 1–2: strategy, roadmap, and first shipped deliverable. Days 30–60: paid channel signal and conversion fixes live. Day 90: a working growth engine with clear CAC data per channel. SEO and content compound beyond that.
