“Our Growth Strategists are highly experienced, senior-level talent from across the business strategy, marketing, business development and service continuum. They are passionate about top-line growth and working with game-changing brands. Our practitioners use a strategy-first mindset, their depth of skills and experience, and a no-nonsense approach to deliver aspirational – yet practical – ideas and programs that propel our clients forward.”
Sylvia Marten is the Founder and CEO of Grow Strategically. She brings to the table experience-based insights and capabilities from her unique combination of roles not often found in the typical growth consultant – as a consulting practitioner, operator in industry, executive leader, and both a marketer and business developer. She has worked with companies large and small, including as an early team member and founder of multiple startups. This uncommon perspective allows Sylvia to help her teams hit the ground running faster and work more effectively, moving clients more quickly towards their growth goals.
As a strategic thinker and analytical problem solver, Sylvia creates growth, marketing, and business development strategies for clients, enabling them to reach and engage their target audiences, differentiate their offerings, and gain critical market share. She is well versed in online and offline marketing channels, with extensive depth in digital and content marketing techniques – including high-performing websites, digital content, search/SEO, social, email and more – to drive awareness, traffic, leads, engagement, and new sales opportunities. Her work has been recognized with numerous awards for content excellence, user experience/design, and financial growth.
She has nearly 20 years of marketing and business development experience and has held senior/executive roles in strategy, marketing and sales. Her industry work includes startups through category leaders in complex business environments such as digital health, medtech, SaaS, healthcare, digital media, publishing, professional services, energy and nonprofits. Sylvia holds a BA from Cornell University and an MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.
