The Startup CMO HQ Story
The world of marketing is evolving at breakneck speed. Artificial intelligence, data-driven decision-making, automation, and rapidly shifting consumer behavior have changed the game for startups and growing companies. Traditional marketing playbooks no longer cut it. Today’s startup CEOs, founders, and growth teams need agile, scalable, and AI-powered strategies to stay ahead, drive demand, and accelerate revenue.
That’s why we created Startup CMO HQ—a hub for modern business leaders who need actionable insights, cutting-edge tools, and expert-driven strategies to navigate this new landscape.
Our journey began in 2007 as Palmera Consulting Group, where we worked with startups, growth companies, and entrepreneurs across marketing, branding, business development, sales, events, and revenue growth. Over the years, we've helped thousands of businesses scale from early-stage ventures to industry leaders, refining the strategies, frameworks, and execution plans that drive real, measurable success.
But as the marketing world evolved, we saw a growing need that traditional consulting alone couldn’t fill. Startups needed more than advice; they needed a centralized hub of expertise, AI-driven insights, and scalable growth solutions.
Thus, Startup CMO HQ was born.
