About MKT1 & Emily Kramer

Over the last 15+ years, Emily Kramer has worked with some of the fastest-growing startups as a marketing executive, founding marketer, advisor, and investor. She’s known for her pragmatic, yet opinionated approach and clear frameworks. She is also a hands-on AI builder, who understands the GTM tech landscape firsthand.

Emily Kramer began writing MKT1 Newsletter in 2020 based on conversations with advisees and portfolio companies, on a casual cadence. It became primary focus in 2023, and she brought in sponsors soon after.

While MKT1 the company has had many different iterations—including a fund, courses, and now an MCP—the newsletter has become the “main thing,” with nearly 90K subscribers.

Been following from day 1 and your playbooks are awesome. My CEO always gets what I'm saying after I share your articles and this subscription is now booked on the company card rather than personal ;)!”

It provides crystal clear advice and practice on often abstract or complicated topics/aspects of marketing. It's a lighthouse for me as a cofounder in charge of marketing.”

Sponsorship packages

How we work with partners

We only include sponsors we’d personally recommend to our community. If we haven’t used your product, we’ll ask for access to try it, or for recommendations from MKT1 subscribers who use it.
The MKT1 team writes sponsorship copy based on your briefs. We allow up to 2 rounds of edits.
We prioritize selling packages of newsletter and LinkedIn placements, but are always open to exploring custom long-term partnerships with existing partners, and one-off placements for new partners when available.
We typically book newsletter and LinkedIn placements 1 quarter in advance, but sell ad hoc placements as available and leave a few spots open for flexibility.
Only Quarterly Premier Partner packages include named competitor exclusivity. Otherwise, we try to keep competitors apart, but it isn’t guaranteed. Ask us anytime who else is sponsoring.
We invite partners who purchase more than 1 placement to a Slack channel for easier communication, but if you prefer email we’ll make it work!
Prices are subject to change on a quarterly basis, except for pre-purchased placements.
