Brand & Digital Marketing

BRAND & DIGITAL MARKETING

The best early-stage marketers aren’t channel specialists. They’re builders. They create demand from scratch, establish a brand in a crowded market, and know when to scale what’s working. We place marketers who understand that at this stage, everything is a test and the ability to move fast matters as much as the idea itself. From performance to brand, content to community, we find the people who can do the work and grow with the company.

GROWTH

Growth at a startup isn’t a department, it’s a mindset. We source operators who sit comfortably across product, data, and revenue, running experiments that move the number that matters. Whether you need your first growth hire or someone to build the function, we find people who know how to find traction before the playbook exists.

Growth hiring is one of the most misunderstood briefs in a startup. Founders often know they need it but struggle to define what it actually looks like at their stage. We specialise in finding the people who can build traction before the playbook exists, operators who sit comfortably across data, product, and revenue, and who know which lever to pull and when.

Whether you need your first growth hire or someone to scale a function that’s already showing signal, we find people who are wired for ambiguity and motivated by outcomes.

STARTUP OPERATIONS

In a high-growth startup, job titles are a starting point, not a boundary. The best people we place across marketing, growth, product, operations, and strategy rarely fit a single description. They move between functions, spot what’s needed before it’s asked for, and build as they go.

We specialise in finding the people who thrive in that ambiguity. The growth marketer who can run a product sprint. The ops lead who doubles as a strategist. The brand person who understands revenue. These aren’t unicorns, they’re the people who’ve worked in environments where wearing multiple hats wasn’t a burden, it was the job.

If your org chart has white space and you need someone who can fill it intelligently, that’s exactly who we find.

Great experience with ProFound People and Lewis! They found me with a perfect role based on my LinkedIn profile. Although I didn't get the job after several rounds, the communication was top-notch. They are extremely professional yet friendly. Who knows, maybe we will work together again in the future. Highly recommended!

In this time of such limited feedback and contact during the recruiting process, what an absolute pleasure (and small miracle) to get a call from Bella. Thank you for your support, coaching and transparency through what is often an uncertain process. Excited about the door of opprotunity you have opened for me. Thank you..!
