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.
Can you make our TV and radio spots?
Start to finish: script, production, voice and placement. Our team uses AI where it saves you money, and the work still looks and sounds every bit broadcast quality.
Who should buy our media?
We plan and buy TV, radio and digital, with deep experience placing national media.
Our website and logo feel dated.
Website design and development, Shopify and e-commerce stores, SEO, social, logos and full corporate identity, from the same award-winning creative team.
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.
Can you get us the domain or phone number we want?
Most often, yes. We acquire premium domains and vanity phone numbers confidentially, and handle the whole process for you.

Some of our clients have been with us since 2002.
Over the last 20-plus years, we've had the privilege of working with hundreds of clients in dozens of industries, all over the world. Here are a select few.
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.
You run the business. We'll handle the marketing.
Most of our clients do between $500,000 and $10 million a year: big enough to need real marketing, too lean for a big agency's retainer. Tell us what you are working on, and we will call you within one business day.
