NICOLA CRONIN
3x founding marketer //
I help scaling startups build repeatable marketing systems that actually work.
​​Ideas aren't the hard part of marketing.
Consistency, organisation, and internal execution is.
I work with teams who’ve outgrown “scrappy startup marketing” but don’t yet have the internal structure to scale confidently –
turning that chaos into a clear, efficient, repeatable engine.
What working with me is like...
"Working with Nicola felt less like hiring a freelancer and more like gaining a strategic co-founder."
With her creativity, versatility, and hands-on mindset, she helped us build a marketing engine from scratch – tailored to our product discovery, not borrowed from trendy playbooks. She’s exactly the kind of partner startup founders need.
