About us
It’s time to level the playing field
Women start businesses at lower rates than men. They earn less for the same work, get less funding for their startups, and feel less confident in their abilities. Statistically, they’re still taking on the vast majority of child care and household responsibilities.
We think that’s a pretty crappy deal.
Thankfully, there’s a growing number of female-run businesses out there that are ready to change the world. And there are more being founded every day.
We’re here to help female-run businesses launch strategically, grow faster, and support each other.

The facts are grim

The numbers aren’t great – But
We think the more successful female-run businesses there are out there, the more we’ll all profit.
So we want to make it as easy as possible for female founders to get the basics of their business right and realise marketing projects that need an expert touch.
That’s why we’re going the extra mile on our end: we’re generous with our time, we share our knowledge freely, and we’re not asking for minimum investments or long-term contracts that agencies typically require.
Our commitments to the community
Who’s behind all of this?
This is Liesa. She started folio when it dawned on her that a fast-paced, high-pressure marketing career and spending time with her kids don’t go together.
So after years of working at agencies and tech companies, she’s putting her marketing experience to good use on a smaller, but vastly more gratifying scale.
She hopes folio will help countless female business leaders change the world, and in the process employ an army of marketing pros who are free to balance life and work on their own terms.
