We commit.

WE DON'T JUST CONSULT

Beyond advice: Enablement. Coaching. Execution. 

What's the difference between a GTM consultant who advises and one who owns the outcome? 

The difference is accountability. ​

We've structure our entire process to be driven by results, not retainers. Which is why we don't simply hand off a shiny deck full of advice and move on. 

 

We work with your team, train your people, and deliver creative output so that when we leave, your entire organization, sales and marketing, is empowered to make the most of your investment.

Your success is our success. It's as simple as that.

Unicorn Kreative is founded on a triple engine approach to accelerating go-to-market growth. 

We have worked within some of the world's largest enterprises. We have taken startups to IPO. It's on the shoulders of this elite experience that we've created a trifecta of market differentiation designed to deliver measurable results for startups. 

  • A deep working knowledge of value frameworks, brand narratives, and messaging strategies 

  • A combined sales and marketing approach that unifies cultures  

  • A business model that's part strategic advisory, part creative agency, and part startup academy  


The result is all-encompassing support. From strategic positioning and market execution, to sales enablement and cross-functional fractional leadership, we set up startups and the people who run them for fast and sustainable growth.

Our Mission 

To position startups and the invaluable humans within their walls to push the limits of potential.

Common Questions

What does Unicorn Kreative do?
Unicorn Kreative is a go-to-market growth engine that helps early-stage and venture-funded startups build brand stories that drive measurable revenue results. It operates at the intersection of brand narrative strategy, enterprise sales expertise, and creative execution. These are three disciplines rarely found under one roof that, when combined, produce a GTM motion that is faster, more consistent, and more compounding than any single discipline can deliver alone. In practice, Unicorn Kreative does four things: Builds the value framework that defines what a company delivers and why it matters more than any alternative in the market Wraps that framework in a brand narrative, a single ownable story that works across investor pitches, sales conversations, marketing campaigns, and answer engine searches Deploys that story across the full GTM organization, aligning sales and marketing around a unified message every person in the company can tell with confidence Stays engaged through execution, building sites, delivering the creative and sales assets, coaching, and fractional leadership needed to ensure the story produces the outcomes it was built to produce
What makes Unicorn Kreative different from other marketing agencies and GTM advisors?
Unicorn Kreative is different from other marketing agencies and GTM advisors in three specific ways that are difficult to replicate and impossible to fake. The expertise spans both sides of the revenue equation. Most marketing agencies are built by marketers. Most GTM advisors come from sales. Unicorn Kreative was co-founded by an award-winning creative director with decades of Fortune 500 brand narrative experience, and a sales leader who helped scale UiPath from under $10 million in ARR to a $1.2 billion revenue powerhouse. That combination produces something neither discipline can produce alone: A brand story compelling enough to build market presence and precise enough to close deals. The model is built around outcomes, not deliverables. Most agencies scope by hours or retainer and exit at handoff. Unicorn Kreative scopes by outcomes. The engagement does not end when a deck is delivered or a website goes live. It ends when the sales team is enabled and the marketing motion is running. The methodology connects narrative directly to revenue. Brand narrative work is typically treated as a creative exercise with a vague connection to business results. Unicorn Kreative treats it as a revenue strategy that’s measurable in pipeline growth, conversion rates, sales cycle length, deal size, and answer engine visibility. The Narrative Equity™ framework makes that connection explicit, trackable, and compounding.
What kind of startups does Unicorn Kreative work with?
Unicorn Kreative works with early-stage and venture-funded startups that have a strong product market fit and a story that is not yet working hard enough for them. The common thread is not stage or sector, it’s a specific problem: The company is growing, but the narrative is holding that growth back. That problem shows up differently depending on where a startup is in its journey: Pre-seed and seed founders preparing to raise who need an investor narrative clear and compelling enough to survive partner meeting scrutiny Series A and Series B startups whose GTM motion is running but underperforming with inconsistent pipeline, longer-than-expected sales cycles, or sales and marketing telling different stories to the same buyer Venture-backed companies preparing for a new market entry, product launch, or competitive repositioning that requires a story sharp enough to win in a crowded space Portfolio companies whose investors recognize the product is strong, but the narrative is limiting growth, fundraising, or recruiting velocity Unicorn Kreative does not work with companies that are not ready to treat story as a strategic priority. The founders who get the most from the engagement arrive already convinced that narrative is a growth investment rather than a marketing expense.
What experience does the Unicorn Kreative team bring to startup GTM strategy?
The Unicorn Kreative founding team brings decades of elite enterprise experience directly to early-stage startups. Founder Merry Carole Powers is an award-winning creative director and brand strategist with decades of experience building narratives for some of the world's most influential companies, bringing Fortune 500-caliber creative intelligence directly to venture-funded startups. Co-founder Jay McGrath played a pivotal role in scaling UiPath from under $10 million in ARR to a $1.2 billion revenue powerhouse, one of the most documented hypergrowth stories in enterprise software. Together their experience spans Deloitte, UiPath, Publicis, Vanguard, and Omnicom, and includes taking startups from early narrative development through to IPO.
Does Unicorn Kreative deliver strategy only or execution as well?
Unicorn Kreative delivers both strategy and execution. The most common failure mode in GTM consulting is the handoff where a consultant builds a strategy, delivers a deck, and leaves the team to figure out implementation alone. Unicorn Kreative is structured specifically to close that gap. Every engagement includes enablement and coaching to align sales and marketing around the new narrative, fractional sales and marketing support for story launch and deployment, and full creative execution that includes pitch decks, website copy, thought leadership, and sales assets.
Why does effective startup storytelling require both sales and marketing expertise?
Startup storytelling built by only one side of the GTM organization consistently underperforms. A narrative built by marketing alone is often compelling but disconnected from what actually closes deals. A narrative built by sales alone is often effective one-on-one but lacks the creative consistency and market-building strategy needed to generate awareness and conviction at scale. The most powerful startup narratives are built with the insight of both disciplines. This results in a story simultaneously strong enough to build a brand and precise enough to close a deal.
Why hire a GTM consultant instead of a full-time sales or marketing leader?
A GTM consultant delivers faster results, broader expertise, and lower risk than a full-time sales or marketing hire at the early stages of a startup's growth. Building your strategic foundation first makes a future full-time hire significantly more effective. Key reasons founders choose a GTM consultant over a full-time leader at seed through Series B are: Speed: A GTM consultant arrives with the methodology and framework already built; a full-time hire spends six to twelve months learning the company and building the playbook simultaneously at full salary and equity cost Breadth: A VP of Sales brings sales expertise, a CMO brings marketing expertise; a GTM consultant with the right background brings both Risk: A mis-hire at a leadership level costs salary, equity, severance, and lost momentum. A consulting engagement delivers senior-level expertise at a fraction of that risk with the ability to course-correct quickly The right sequence for most early-stage startups is consultant first, full-time leader second. Outside expertise builds the foundation. A full-time hire executes against it, ramping faster, performing sooner, and compounding the investment already made.
