A dark horse marketing consultancy for brands that think people-first.

The very best brand stories are the ones that are true.

The very best brand stories are the ones that are true.

Hi, I’m Alison. My superpower is translating startup vision into multimedia stories.

Think of Black Pony not as just a marketing consultancy, but as your trusty CMO Co-Founder. As a former agency gal, and a repeat head-of in startups, I understand how to scale make-or-break brands at a price that young companies can afford.

When the job is to grow, every (limited) dollar spent is essential.

So I call what I do

Different solutions for different stages of growth

Early Stage

The basics, done right.

For select partners, a fast-twitch strategy process helps founders to think like their customer. Together, we’ll articulate vision, core design standards and first channels. Ongoing advising ensures that limited budgets are deployed effectively.

Seed

For brands at the tipping point.

A classic strategy and creative direction process yields a tighter and clearer brand story. A plan to leverage that identity charts the path forward to business growth.

Series A+

Real revenue, challenger budgets.

The first rule of advertising is that someone pays attention. It’s time to get serious, not only about getting creative but about speaking clearly to the right segments in the right places — and then measuring the effect.

Great Partners, Great Work
