Flint & Spark - Entrepreneurial Marketing

Flint & Spark - Entrepreneurial Marketing Formally known as Yifat Shirben, Flint & Spark is a team of entrepreneurial marketers striving to pr “The only thing to do with good advice
is to pass it on.

It is never of any use to oneself.”
Oscar Wilde

With over a decade of experience in marketing, business development and entrepreneurship and with a deep understanding of the startup’s nature and lifecycle, I’ve decided it’s time to give back to the community from which I grew. This page was formed to provide entrepreneurs and startups founders with practical marketing tools, advice, tips, and kno

wledge. My aim is to create a supportive entrepreneurial marketing community, one that is tailored to the unique and dynamic needs of startups and growing businesses. This is the place where you could ask questions, share your thoughts, get a second opinion, and acquire some new, relevant and practical entrepreneurial marketing methods.

With more and more people turning online to discover, learn, research, validate and purchase - it's crucial to make sure your digital assets (web/app) are helping them hear the right story (yours) and choose the right products/services (yours of course ;).

If you're not sure that's the case, or simply looking for ways to enhance these assets - let us help you with our FREE review.

We will look at them from a customer point of view, share our insights with you, and give you some pointers for optimisation.

While international travel is still restricted, we took a trip today down the Yellow Brick WORDS (UX writing) and made it all the way to the Emerald City (the perfect user experience).

Thanks to all Stone & Chalk residents who took this journey with us, hopefully you enjoyed the ride and also picked up a few tips on the way!

NOTHING!
If you followed our social media channels lately – this is probably what you saw. Nothing!

We could say we were very busy and that school holiday was a bit of a juggle (and lots of fun).
But the truth is, that after a year in which EVERYTHING has happened we just needed a bit of NOTHING.

The good news is we're now back at full swing and with exciting plans up our sleeves, ready to take on ANYTHING (we're good at) - speaking, consulting, strategising, brainstorming, copy-writing, branding and everything in between.

We're even planning on leaving the comfort of our Zoom and head down to the city (crazy us, we know).

2021 – here we come!

Working with the residents of Stone & Chalk to refine their pitch decks as part of their capital raising journey has reminded us of this old, yet ever so relevant, blog post.
While some people are born with it, pitching is an acquired skill and it's one worth learning if you want to get funded.
Read, learn, refine and if you have any questions - contact us!
