ABOUT ME
Managed by an experienced startup operator.
I'm Colin James Belyea. I'm a full-stack marketer who's spent years making paid media work for startups.
Over the last 9 years, I've had the privilege of serving as Head of Growth at several venture-backed startups (Remote Year, Outsite, Bungalow), spent a year with the Bell Curve agency, and consulted with 7 Y-Combinator startups, all while being entrusted with managing over $20M in paid media spend.
While not working, you'll find me hanging with my kids or working on my backhand at the local tennis court. Connect with me on Linkedin or via email.

CASE STUDIES
Luxury Presence
Problem 🤔
Building a productized agency that manages a real estate agent's entire marketing function while managing local competitors and famously low willingness to spend.
Strategy ✨
Build credibility by promoting valuable content downloads alongside testimonials from well-known industry names while capturing down-funnel demand with paid search.
Results 🔥
Reduced paid channel MQL cost by 400%, scaled multi-channel spend to 7-figures, and helped them raise a $19m series B-1.
Outsite
Problem 🤔
As a new digital nomad hotel chain, Outsite couldn't rely on hotel booking sites for revenue. We had to create our own without competing directly against hotels with more inventory & budget.
Strategy ✨
Shift to "Members Only" business model while targeting remote workers who travel with social ads selling the lifestyle rather than a particular location.
Results 🔥
Grew Membership from 100 to over 5,000 while raising several funding rounds and expanding to over fifty locations worldwide.
Fraction
Problem 🤔
Reverse mortgages are underused in Canada, and consumers don't understand them. Those that do after often not qualified to take advantage, either.
Strategy ✨
Focus on educating homeowners on the idea of trading home equity into cash while building a robust data tracking system to have Meta optimize only on qualified leads.
Results 🔥
Big improvements in click-through rate and account structure led to a 50% reduction in the cost per MQL – all while tripling the paid social budget.
Monograph
Problem 🤔
Architecture & engineering firms already have their own project management solutions, and have thin margins & time to dedicate to a new solution, however better it may be.
Strategy ✨
Focus on leveraging Monograph's growing database of gated content to build an email list of A/E decision makers and build trust through content & email over months and years post acquisition.
Results 🔥
Scaled Monograph's contact acquisition engine while acquiring architecture firm leader contacts for under $15 across Meta & LinkedIn.
