Marketing advice from someone who gives it to you straight.
Who is Marketing Jumpstart? A Perth-born marketing implementation agency that has worked remotely across Australia since before the pandemic made it cool. Sixteen years in business, an all-Australian team, and senior marketing thinking paired with real command of the AI and automation tools shaping how marketing gets done.
We take care of design, development, SEO, Google Ads, content and strategy so you can focus on what matters most: running your company. If you want to know whether we are the right fit, read on, or read more about us.
The thing we hear most on a first call is…
“I want to grow my business, but I don’t have time to become a marketer too.“
Most owners arrive with a list of tactics someone told them they need: more posts, more ads, a new website. Tactics are the easy part. The hard part is knowing which one is the right next move for your business this quarter, and which ones can wait.
That is why we start with outcomes, not services. Tell us whether you need more skills, more cashflow, more process or more visibility, and we will show you the shortest sensible path there. You will always know what you are paying for, why, and what happens if you stop.
We’re not here to sell you more marketing. We’re here to help you make the right next move.

Founder and CEO
Meet Ming Johanson.
20+ years scaling businesses from startups to established enterprises. Ming doesn’t just run campaigns: she builds the roadmap and leads the team that delivers it, in plain English, with no lock-in contracts.
How we work
Three steps, no guesswork.
Every engagement, whatever the size, runs the same way.
01
Listen
A 20-minute call, no pitch. We ask what is working, what is bleeding money, and what you actually want the business to do for you. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
02
Decide
We look at your numbers, your market and your capacity, then recommend one pathway and a short list of moves in priority order. Written in plain English, with prices you can repeat back to your accountant.
03
Do
We build, launch and measure, then report back in language you understand. No lock-in contract, so we earn the next month by being worth keeping.
Case studies
Real businesses. Real results.
No vanity metrics. Each of these started with a business owner who was bleeding money on something that should have been working, and a plain conversation about what to fix first.

What we stand on
Our values.
Four ideas that shape how we work with our clients and with each other.
Flow
This speaks to process. When there’s a process designed to support everyone, everything in a business flows, like running water to its destination.
Authenticity
The version of you today will differ from the version of you tomorrow. Through our experiences and interactions we grow; the value is living into the truth of who you might become.
Communication
Everyone arrives from a different set of experiences, which adds both value and challenges. We seek to listen and understand, and prioritise your needs and our team’s capacity to help.
Trust
Through the toughest challenges we gain knowledge and answers to complex situations. We trust each other, our tools, and that our systems are here to support our clients.

Ming, Vern and the team at Marketing Jumpstart have been amazing from the very start of my new website build. Always on hand to answer questions and make any changes. After being burnt a few times before with website designers, I have found my go-to for all things digital. They are honest and professional and will work with you until you are happy.

Questions, answered
Things people ask before they call.
If yours is not here, ask us directly. A human will answer within 48 hours.
Do you really have no lock-in contracts?
Yes. Everything is month to month. If we stop being useful, you stop paying. We keep clients by being worth keeping, not by holding a website hostage.
How do you measure whether it is working?
Before we start, we agree on the number that matters to you: enquiries, sales, bookings or rankings. We report against that number, not against vanity metrics like impressions.
Are you an agency or a consultant?
Both, on purpose. You get senior strategy from people who have run businesses, and a team that actually does the work: websites, SEO, Google Ads, content and podcasts.
Where is your team based?
Entirely in Australia. We have worked remotely across the country since before the pandemic made it normal, so you get local accountability without paying for a city office.
What does it cost?
Every service has two clear options, and we tell you the price before you commit. No surprises later. Strategy and brand sessions are the affordable way to start if you are not ready for a project.
How quickly will I hear back?
A real human replies within 48 hours, usually by text first, then email, then phone. No ticket queues.
Can you work with the website and tools I already have?
Almost always. We work with WordPress and most common platforms, and we will tell you plainly if what you have is holding you back.
What happens on the free 20-minute call?
You talk, we listen, and you leave with at least one thing you can act on this week, whether you work with us or not.
