SUCCEEDING SMALL

MEET THE TEAM

At Succeeding Small, we stand firm in our belief that small businesses do not belong in a box. With every website we build, every page we optimize, every ad we run, we craft digital marketing assets as unique as the entrepreneurs themselves, all optimized for maximum visibility.

DIGITAL MARKETERS IN COLORADO SPRINGS

In addition to our incredible team, we also are proud to offer a digital marketing internship program. We partner with UCCS and other universities in Colorado Springs to educate students in the field of digital marketing.

MADELEINE COSTA

My name is Madeleine Costa, founder of Succeeding Small. I began my company when I realized I sought something different than the large-scale marketing companies that dominated the market. I wanted to serve the small businesses that made up my entire family for generations. I wanted to provide the same quality of superior marketing at a price-point that small businesses could afford.

After earning my Bachelor’s degree in English and Marketing, and studying the complex algorithms that search engines use to rank websites, and successfully managing dozens of digital marketing campaigns, I have been able to form a deep understanding of how to grow small businesses online.
