Why I Started Wynn & Howe
Why I Started Wynn & Howe
And Why Strategic Marketing Needs a Rethink
Startups don’t usually stall because of bad products.
They stall because no one knows how to talk about them.
I started Wynn & Howe because I kept seeing the same pattern: brilliant founders with promising products, stuck in neutral. They had development teams, roadmaps, and ambition, but not the kind of marketing clarity that helps them scale, attract capital, or reach the right customers.
Most weren’t ready to hire a full team. But they were ready for momentum.
The Gap I Saw in the Market
After 20+ years in financial services, product strategy, and marketing leadership, I noticed a growing need… Companies needed executive-level marketing support without the cost or complexity of hiring a full-time CMO.
Whether it was a fintech platform prepping for Series A, or a founder-led climate tech company trying to enter new markets, the challenge was the same:
- Messaging wasn’t clear
- Marketing teams were too junior or overloaded
- Founders were doing it all and burning out
And in the infrastructure space, especially, where credibility and partnerships are everything, I saw an opportunity to help emerging companies tell better stories and gain traction where it matters.
