Our Story
Hello! I’m Kelli Starbuck. As a Colorado native whose parents run businesses out of Colorado, helping small, local companies succeed is highly personal.
Jana has worked in the digital marketing space for some years now. During her time at CCU, she was a digital marketing intern for a wedding planning company here in Denver. She had the opportunity to see how a business grows exponentially. She was able to increase the social media platform following for the business and get an inside look at how impactful a good cohesive website is for any user.
Post graduation, Jana worked at Northwestern Mutual as a Marketing Coordinator which allowed her to build out a financial firm’s digital presence via their website, and social media platforms and implement strategic campaigns for clients to be a part of.
After a small career hunt,, Kelli and Jana connected via a referral. Jana was starting her social media marketing agency to help small businesses grow their online presence and the impact that social media has on consumers and how they interact with businesses. The two ended up realizing that they were a force to be reckoned with and are committed to bringing successful marketing strategies and campaigns to their clients!

Our Experience and How We Got Here
We work as agency representatives and a marketing managers, giving a unique understanding of the client-agency relationship.
While I worked at a large, corporate agency, I became fascinated with digital marketing, SEO in particular. Everyone would come to me asking me to clarify things about title tags, the “how” behind SEO, etc. – I was the on-site digital marketing encyclopedia.
Then I had the opportunity to become a marketing manager for a client I had worked with through the agency. I started working with the agency I had worked for, and one thing became apparent reasonably quickly – big agencies and small businesses don’t mesh.
So, I did what any respectable nerd would do, and I got my SEO for WebMasters Certificate, trained myself on social media and SEO software, and started Star Strategy Marketing.
