What Founders & Leaders Say
Laura is both strategic and creative, with a rare ability to simplify complex marketing problems. She brings structure without rigidity, adapts quickly, and focuses on what really drives growth. Watching her work across channels, teams, and tech is impressive — and she actually gets things done.
Brian Mosley
COO & Start Up Advisor
Laura helped me take the marketing foundations I built and mature them with strategic guidance and tactical execution. She understood what I needed, pulled the right pieces out of my head, translated them into messaging that moved people — and sales. She didn’t just advise — she built it with me.
Kathryn Dunn
Founder, Nurtured Nest
Working alongside Laura at Security Journey and later at Devici, I witnessed her exceptional ability to fuse strategic vision with execution. She doesn’t just lead marketing—she immerses herself in the product, deeply understands user needs, and crafts narratives that resonate. Under her leadership, we elevated brand presence, accelerated user adoption, and consistently exceeded growth goals. Her collaborative style and data‑driven creativity made her indispensable.

Laura is data driven, reality based, and insanely creative. She possesses a rare balance of practical visionary skills that are critical to pre-seed, growth stage, or established organizations. Her GTM strategies focus on the right personas, and are highly adaptable. I have seen it in person. Her ability to boil down the complex tech stack, various pipelines, social, digital and other approaches is really phenomenal. The best part is, she can build a plan and get it all done too! Any organization would be lucky to work with Laura.

Most Startups Fail Before They Find Real Traction
Not because the product’s wrong. The market never understood it. We bring clarity, strategy, and hands-on support so you can move forward with confidence and focus on what you’re building.
50% of startups shut down within five years.
Startups rarely fail all at once.
They lose momentum when priorities drift, teams misfire, and no one’s sure what to do next.
Pebble brings practical go-to-market strategy — clear goals, smart sequencing, and hands-on support to keep growth on track.
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2016
38% of startups fail due to “no market need."
That’s rarely a product issue. It’s more likely a positioning failure.
Clear positioning is the difference between “interesting” and investable. It determines everything.
Pebble helps founders distill real value and reach the right buyers in the right channels.

Execution is where strategy succeeds…or fails.
Execution gaps kill momentum — even when the strategy’s sound.
Too many teams burn time on scattered tasks, unclear messaging, and tactics that don’t compound.
Pebble helps founders focus and prioritize. We build marketing systems that create traction, prove value, and scale .
Most teams don’t need more ideas. They need the right focus and systems to move.
Whether your challenge is clarity, momentum, or support,
we’ll help you find the next step forward.
