For online stores and creative entrepreneurs who want to grow, structure or professionalize.

By Marit Hester, founder of Unknown Stories and marketer with 10+ years of work experience


Why this offer?

Entrepreneurship can be intense and sometimes quite lonely. Especially if you're stuck, unsure about your direction, or have no one to truly brainstorm with.

I know how that feels and that is precisely why I believe in the importance of having someone at your side who watches you, reflects on you and helps you make choices and sharpen your strategy.

With over 10 years of experience in marketing and social media strategy, and 3.5 years as the founder of my own webshop and brand, Unknown Stories , I want to help other entrepreneurs too. I built my own business—including developing my own collections abroad—and I know better than anyone what it's like to figure everything out on my own.

I use this practical experience to guide webshop owners and creative entrepreneurs who want to grow, structure their businesses, or simply want to brainstorm with someone who knows the ropes. No empty advice, just honest and concrete guidance that allows room for your questions.

For whom?

For webshop owners or creative entrepreneurs (or those who want to start) who recognize themselves in one or more of these situations:

• The foundation is there, but you don't know how to grow further
• You lack the marketing experience to make your webshop/company visible and widely visible
• You have many ideas, but lack structure and have difficulty setting priorities
• You are mainly concerned with implementation and do not have time for strategy
• You want more visibility and growth through social media, but without posting endlessly without results
• Your webshop is up and running, but it doesn't feel professional or organized yet
• You miss an experienced sparring partner for feedback, direction and a realistic growth plan

How can I help you?

• Social media strategy & organic growth
• Branding & positioning (visual and content)
• (online) marketing: promotion, visibility, campaigns, actions
• Outsourcing tasks, connections with specialists (think of fulfillment agencies, photographers and videographers, Google & Meta ads, etc.)
• Structuring processes, inventory and planning
• Professionalization: from hobby to business

About me

I am Marit Hester – founder of Unknown Stories , and specialist in (online) marketing & branding.

For over 10 years, I worked as a marketer and brand manager at some of the largest publishing houses in the Netherlands. There, I was responsible for the complete marketing of lifestyle books and the support of major authors: from PR and (influencer) events to online campaigns, social media strategies, and brand positioning.

In addition, I worked as a freelancer for bol.com, among others, and helped various companies set up their online strategy.

I've been running my brand, Unknown Stories, for over three and a half years now, which I built from the ground up on a shoestring budget. Over the years, I've gained a wealth of experience by doing a lot myself, learning from other experienced entrepreneurs, and gradually expanding everything: from webshop optimization and purchasing to developing my own collections abroad. From packing parcels to learning what's best to outsource. I know what it's like to truly build a webshop—and I incorporate that experience into my coaching.
