Generating Big Growth for Startup Brands
Every big brand starts from something small. A fleeting thought. An unmet need. A customer insight. Our job is to turn that seed of an idea for a product or service into a successful megabrand that becomes a household name.
We are an innovative and bold marketing communications agency for startups seeking hypergrowth, fast.
Disruption is dead. We believe in ERUPTION.
We believe today’s startups can cause more than disruption, but eruption: a complete and total reordering of leadership in the category that will disproportionately favor newness, innovation, and empathy.
In this imagination age, long-standing codes and conventions around behavior, leadership, and mindset are ripe for change. There is no longer a marketing rule book because it is built on the tenants of the past. Further, legacy brand leaders can’t easily blow-up a category they helped to create, so they tend to take fewer risks and many times execute what has worked historically. Startups can exploit this, especially now.
With a combination of an ethos built on boldness and communications that scream with differentiation, our ultimate goal is for our clients to trigger category eruption that will launch them into leadership positions.
We believe in Eruption.

OUR AGENCY MODEL IS UNIQUE
Bespoke teams created for your needs
Our teams flex to the needs of the client. Some clients may want a team with specific expertise from a category perspective or with certain hard skills. We have a core Sēd team that is always-on to support our client portfolio, but we supplement that team with individuals with skills tailored to the specific needs of our clients. Our teams can flex up and down depending on client priorities.
Financial flexibility
Given the nature of startup funding, we like to offer our clients financial flexibility. We are also always open to working on a project basis and don’t force our clients to lock-in an annual retainer. We also partner with clients on a billing schedule that works for them.
Unique combination of creative, strategy, digital, and PR
There are plenty of branding firms, designers and PR consultants out there to help brands who are ready to move to the next stage of growth. Unfortunately, they are not part of one offering and don’t have the integrated experience. We have brought together a bespoke team of experts in the three areas that a startup would need for success: brand and C/X strategy, brand identity, creative campaign development and public relations to get your brand on the lips of culture.
