We bring a fresh perspective and informed marketing to industries across the board.
BUT IN MORE WORDS…
We are a group of creative minds obsessed with coffee, food, and beautiful branding. When put together, we inspire each other, laugh a lot and create innovative campaigns that yield great results.
At our core, we’re deeply passionate about supporting local businesses, remaining eco-conscious and giving back. Things you’ll hear us say often: “How can we add value?”. We don’t believe in selling to make money (sorry if that’s your goal, we’re happy to change your mind). We believe in creating a culture of value that aids businesses in gaining long-term followers and life-long advocates, which essentially makes much more profit than a once-off sale.
The campaigns we run aren’t focused on quick wins, but how can we create something that is impactful and builds a community of loyal customers?
Development and up-skilling is a large part of Pink Soda’s culture too. We’re never comfortable or satisfied and always strive for more.
MEET THE TEAM
KIRSTEN MAARSCHALK
Our boss lady, head of strategy, founder, and idea generator.
Kirsten started Pink Soda Marketing in 2019 with the goal to change the things she hated! “Don’t do what you love, do what you hate!” they said (they being South African author and keynote speaker, Richard Mulholland).
Here is the list of things she vowed never to be a part of:
Ugly designs, let-me-tell-you-about-me strategies, the same thing anyone else has done, advertising that includes the line “tired of…?” or “well we’ve got the thing for you”.
Kirsten has a brilliant mind and way with words that can get anyone pumped up and ready to go. She is a sucker for chocolate, coffee, and good marketing.
