Starboard

Twenty years of award‑winning marketing. Now at the speed of AI.

Starboard is a full-service agency working with brands across the country since 2002. Our experienced team now uses AI to get you better, faster results for a fraction of what you'd expect to pay. We also help your own team put AI to work for your business, so they spend less time on busywork and more time growing it.

The questions we hear most.

We can't afford a full marketing department. Now what?

Hire us as your fractional CMO. One monthly fee gets you a senior team for strategy, creative, media and web, for less than the cost of one marketing hire.

How do we get our own team using AI?

We find where AI pays off in your marketing, set it up around the tools you already use, and train your people to use it well.

How much can AI actually save us?

Often a lot. A regional TV spot that once needed a crew traveling the market can now cost $50,000 to $100,000 less. Websites that used to run five figures now often cost three to four. Same team, same standards, a much smaller budget.

Why doesn't ChatGPT mention our company?

AI engines recommend the businesses they can find clear, trusted answers about. We audit how they describe you, then fix what they rely on.

Do you work on retainer or per project?

All three: flat fee, project basis or retainer. We're flexible, and we'll recommend the best type of relationship based on the scope of work.

See everything we do, service by service. Selling on Amazon? Our sister company Starboard Seller has been doing it since 2011.

An agency on an island?

Yes. Our clients are everywhere. Our office is on St. Simons Island.

We work with local, regional and national brands from one of the most loved places on the Georgia coast. Clear water and clear heads make for better ideas. If you are ever on the island, come see us.

Why does Starboard cost less?

Two reasons. Our team uses AI wherever it saves time and money. And instead of a building full of salaries, we bring in hand-picked specialists for each project, so you pay for the talent your project needs, not our overhead.

We have worked this way, and moved our clients through every change in how people find things, since 2002.
