Wisconsin Startups: Get Free Marketing Help

Shelley’s Social Media Launches Startup Marketing Scholarship for Wisconsin Entrepreneurs

 Real marketing. Real results. Zero cost.

That’s the idea behind the Startup Marketing Scholarship Program launched by Shelley’s Social Media, a local marketing company known for getting scrappy startups seen online — without the fluff or fake promises.

This fully-funded program is designed to help early-stage businesses get the support they need to show up strong from day one — with branding, SEO, Google Ads, social media setup, and a custom landing page.

“There are so many passionate, driven business owners out there who just need a leg up,” said Shelley, founder and lead strategist. “We created this scholarship to level the playing field and give new entrepreneurs a real shot at being seen — and staying in business.”

What’s Included:

• A custom brand kit (logo, colors, and vibe)

• One-page SEO-optimized website

• Google Business Profile setup + starter Google Ads campaign

• Social media coaching on two platforms of your choice

Who It’s For:
Startups in their first year or so of business who are motivated to grow but can’t afford to hire a full marketing team — yet.
Applicants must be located in Wisconsin.

How It Works:
Business owners fill out a short online form, share their goals, and if selected, they’ll kick things off with a custom strategy call. From there, Shelley’s team builds out their digital presence and guides them every step of the way.

Community Support Makes It Possible
This scholarship is entirely funded through local sponsorships and donations. Anyone who contributes gets a shoutout as a Community Sponsor — with visibility perks like logo placement, social mentions, and more.
