design, automation, and
a little bit of magic
At JSC, we fight for the little guy--startups, small businesses and anyone looking to do more with less. But what does that really mean?
WHY CHOOSE US?
why our clients
choose jsc
A few crucial facts about us right up front.
We're AI-Native
We've built JSC around AI-driven efficiency — not graphics and blog posts, but eliminating busywork and processing data faster. We bring those same tactics to clients.
We're In The Trenches
Where consultants might offer a project plan or website audit and move on, we stay through implementation--either as hourly staff or project lead. Need specialized services? We'll assemble the best team for the job, delivering on time and on budget.
We're Fully Transparent
We keep our pricing as simple as possible--$100 per hour. That's it. For project-scoped plans, we'll share a time-based budget for each step before we begin. You only pay for the time you use.
We're Mission-Driven
We try to keep at least 40% of our roster for mission-driven accounts. If your work comes with larger ambitions beyond the bottom line, but you feel like better marketing is out of reach, we want to talk to you.
protect your investment
If you are like most business owners or marketing leaders, you know you could be getting more out of your tech stack. Platforms like CRM, CMS and ESP eat up huge chunks of your marketing budget. How much of that is lost to inefficiency? Let's find out, and set things right!
revenue operations
Disconnected CRM data, manual reporting, and pipeline leaks cost mid-market firms an average of 15% in lost revenue annually.
Without unified RevOps, your growth engine runs on guesswork.
marketing automation
Teams stuck on batch-and-blast tactics see 3× lower engagement than those using behaviour-triggered automation flows.
Manual campaigns can't compete with always-on nurture sequences.
analytics
Only 39% of B2B marketing leaders say they are extremely or very confident in proving marketing's impact on financial performance.
Making faulty assumptions wastes already-stretched marketing budgets.
OUR SERVICES
smart marketing,
built to scale
Whether you're working towards your first marketing hire or you need a refresh, our services are built to grow with you.
hubspot consulting
The most popular CRM and marketing automation platform for SMBs can present challenges as you grow. From avoiding costly upgrades to maximizing ROI, our team can make HubSpot work for you.
automation & analytics
Appealing to consumers who have seen it all can leave you searching for an edge. A combination of creative automation and disciplined, thorough analytics can surface new markets, messages and more.
content operations
20 years ago, a Financial Times journalist began popularizing the phrase "In the future, all companies will be media companies." That future is now. But in order to meet this moment, you have to organize like a media company, delivering personalized, on-message content to delight your audience and grow your visibility.
web & content development
Creating great content is a full-time job. To do it right takes experts at the top of their game. JSC works with a network of creators--photographers, videographers, graphic artists, brand designers--to deliver content that meets both creative and budgetary expectations.
project-based services
The "sprints" outlined above create a framework for addressing the challenges many founders face. We also know that every business is different and you may want to select individual projects to get the ball rolling now. We encourage that! Let's create the project plan that's right for you!

When I was a digital marketing executive for startups, I saw firsthand how traditional marketing agencies and vendors took advantage of early-stage startups. John Steele Consulting is different.

questions
What is Project-Based Consulting?
As a former startup executive working with consultants, I'd have a few core projects I'd want them to work on. Unfortunately, many agencies and consulting services require a retainer or some other type of time-based commitment. By the end of these agreements, I struggled to find things for the consultant to do to fill the hours I committed to. By creating discreet projects with set deliverables, pricing and timelines, you'll only pay for what you need, without the long-term contract.
What is John Steele Consulting?
Hey there, nice to meet you! My name is John Steele and I am a 12-year veteran of digital marketing & communications. I have created & managed countless websites, content strategies, marketing automation platforms and more. For most of my career, I have served the startup/SMB tech space, usually joining as the first or second marketing hire. I have managed both million-dollar marketing budgets and operated with almost no resources at all--whatever is required, I can always find creative solutions to fit any situation. That's what I hope John Steele Consulting can bring to your business.
