Laura | GrowthSpurt Strategies

I’ve worked with startups to Fortune 100s, but my heart was always with the small business community. There’s a common misconception that effective marketing requires huge budgets and teams, but great marketing simply stems from our human need for story.

In my work, I help small business owners build on their strengths by focusing on articulating their value in a way that feels authentic. We preserve their unique brand identity while creating marketing that connects, converts, and lasts.

Certifications & Background

Master of Business Administration (MBA), Marketing, Syracuse University.

Bachelor of Arts (BHA), Architecture & Film, Carnegie Mellon University.

FAQs

Is Digital Marketing Expensive?

It doesn’t have to be. As a small business owner, if you can’t swing several hundred or thousands of dollars each month, you can keep your budget low by taking the time to learn about some online marketing tools (often available for free or in “freemium” form).

Tools I recommend for DIY business owners: Google Analytics, Search Console, Ads Keyword Planner, Google Trends, HubSpot, WordPress, Survey Monkey, Moz, Canva, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, LinkTree, ChatGPT, Claude, and more.

If you’re strapped for time, we offer reasonable pricing.

What Is the Difference Between Marketing and Sales?

Marketing teams generate demand by building awareness of a business’s services in key places. Their goal is to attract new leads and nurture existing ones, helping them understand how your business solves their problem.

Sales teams take qualified leads (those showing genuine interest) and convert them into clients. They guide people to conclude that your business is the best and only solution for their specific needs.

While marketing and sales work hand-in-hand, they have distinct roles and focus on different stages of the funnel. Understanding this distinction is important when working with a marketing agency versus a sales agency.
