You’re the Visionary — Stop Doing the Marketing Too

Take Our Marketing Task Audit

You’re building a real company — not a hobby — and every week brings a new pitch, investor meeting, or customer onboarding. But your marketing? It’s still duct-taped together, and every LinkedIn post, nurture sequence, or pitch deck revision eats away at the time you need to lead, scale, and close.

You already know you’re holding onto too much — trying to write emails, design pitch decks, tweak landing pages, and brainstorm a marketing strategy while simultaneously fundraising, hiring, and perfecting your product or service. It’s too much. And it’s costing you growth.

This blog-style quiz is for founders, CEOs, solopreneurs and startup operators who are in the growth phase — and need to get clear on what marketing tasks to hand off now to avoid bottlenecks, maintain visibility, and keep scaling without dropping the ball.

What's included:

• A 7-question quiz

• Your results

• A breakdown of what to delegate now

• Steps you can take to get your time + energy back

Quiz Results: Here's What You Should Delegate First

Mostly A’s: You're The Strategic Executor

Where you are: You’ve invested in building your brand, and it’s starting to pay off. You’re booking clients, closing pitches, and gaining traction — but every social post, pitch deck update, and email newsletter is still landing on your plate. You’ve hit the ceiling of what you can do alone.

Your challenges:

• Juggling brand visibility with day-to-day client work

• Content that’s “good enough” but not optimized

• Spending hours crafting messaging or visuals instead of scaling your offer

Delegate first:

• Thought leadership content (blogs, newsletters, social posts)

• Visual assets like decks, social graphics, and brand kits

• Repurposing longform content across platforms

Why it matters: Your time is your most valuable asset. Every hour you spend editing copy or formatting a case study is time away from growth.

Mostly B’s: You're The Visionary Bottleneck

Where you are: You’ve got traction and a service or product that works. You’re pitching, networking, fundraising — but your marketing is reactive. You’re the only one who knows how to talk about your company, and that’s not scalable.

Your challenges:

• No system for generating consistent visibility

• No time to brief a freelancer or explain your message again

• Launches feel rushed or half-done because the backend isn’t built

Delegate first:

• Email sequences + strategic messaging for investors, leads, and partners

• Social media planning and execution (especially LinkedIn + Instagram)

• Launch and pitch support (press releases, slide decks, branded collateral)

Why it matters: You’re building something big — but if no one knows what you’re doing, you’ll lose momentum.

Mostly C’s or D’s: You're The Burned-Out Builder

Where you are: You’ve put everything into getting this business off the ground. You’ve proven the model, but your marketing is lagging — because you’re maxed out. You're stuck trying to make everything look and sound good, while also leading and scaling your company.

Your challenges:

• Marketing feels like a second full-time job

• Inconsistent visibility makes it harder to gain trust with investors and customers

• You're rewriting the same pitch deck or About page for the 10th time

Delegate first:

• Foundational brand messaging (About page, mission, boilerplate, etc.)

• Campaign development + execution

• Pitch + sales enablement materials

Why it matters: Your brand is the bridge to your next level. But if it’s not clear, consistent, and strong — your growth slows.
