Starfish Marketing

There's a story of an old man walking along a beach as the tide is going out and the beach is covered with starfish stranded on the sand.

As he walks along he spies a young boy, picking up starfish one at a time, throwing them back into the ocean.

The man says to the boy, "why are you doing that, there are hundreds of starfish stranded - you're not going to make a difference".

The boy picks up a starfish, throws it back into the ocean and says "it made a difference for that one".

The starfish story has always resonated with me and is the reason starfish marketing exists.

I believe marketing can make a real difference to business, that we can make a difference in our communities and that we can have some fun along the way.

Starfish marketing aims to make a difference for businesses by helping with the "how to" of marketing.

To make a difference in our community, we will contribute a percentage of our profits or provide pro bono services to local charities, with a focus on supporting the fight against domestic violence.

And we plan to do this while enjoying and embracing life and laughter.

Like the starfish story, let’s make a real difference together.
