Join our crew of ex-startup marketers who ditched the corporate grind for consulting freedom
HazelGray is a collective of marketing renegades (we’re allergic to the word “agency”).
We’re a crew of ex-startup marketers who ditched the corporate grind for consulting freedom. We work with scrappy, early-stage disruptors in DTC and B2B (typically Seed to Series B). Our philosophy is simple: bold storytelling, community-led growth, and finding fun ways to be unexpected.
About this role, written by Matt Handy, Founder of HazelGray.
Too much noise. Too many startups using the same tired playbooks. Everyone’s trying to make the company or founder the hero. Not you.
At HazelGray, we flip the script. The message is the hero. Startups need bold, simple ideas that actually move the needle—not more decks or positioning docs that gather dust. I’m looking for smart marketers who get that, and want to do meaningful work with structure, autonomy, and a partner in their corner.
Here’s what you won’t deal with:
No chasing invoices → You get paid immediately
No client drama → We handle the tough convos and back channeling
No hunting for gigs → We bring you exciting brands and thoughtful founders
No working in a silo → You’ll collaborate directly with me and the team
No vague direction or scope creep → We bring clarity and navigate the chaos together
