Pollen was born from lived experience - years spent deep in the trenches of start-ups, scale-ups, and large-scale transformation projects across both private and public sectors. After 14 years of launching and scaling businesses, leading marketing teams, and building out data and tech infrastructure, I consistently found myself facing the same problem.
Not just strategists, but specialists who could roll up their sleeves, build momentum quickly, and gain buy-in from stakeholders.
The challenge? This kind of talent was incredibly hard to find within realistic budgets. Traditional agencies were bloated and rigid. In-house hires were costly and slow to onboard. And the freelance market was hit and miss.
Pollen brings together the most talented, experienced, and ambitious marketing and growth professionals I’ve worked with over the year, strategists, operators, channel experts, and creatives. We form tailored teams around your business goals, combining our collective firepower to deliver flexible, scalable solutions that drive real growth.
We don’t just advise, we partner, build, and execute. Fast.
With the rise of machine learning and generative AI, a new frontier has opened for marketers. We see AI not as a threat, but as an opportunity to deliver greater value, precision, and speed than ever before.
We are obsessed with learning, testing, and demystifying AI tools so that we can supercharge our clients' strategies, without losing the human spark that drives creativity, connection, and brand.
At Pollen, our edge lies in the fusion of expert human talent with cutting-edge technology. We believe this is the winning formula for growth in the years ahead.
