Here at Matterra (previously Aenae) we have been working in marketing for 12 years, and in that time we’ve seen a lot of nonsense.

Self-styled gurus peddling shady growth hacks. Strategies full of vague, unhelpful waffle. We’re sure you’ve seen it too.

We offer something different:  
Honest, expert advice, direction, and support.

Ethically-sourced and 100% nonsense-free. 
When you work with us, you get the truth.

And the truth is marketing isn’t what you do best.
You know deep down you need to get your marketing foundations right. You have big dreams and bold goals.

But the truth is you need help.

Ellie Stamouli, Founder at Matterra

Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, I cultivated a passion for building and growing businesses. Armed with a BA in International Economics and an MA in Marketing, I honed my skills in marketing and communications climbing the ranks of London-based multinationals for seven years.

In 2019, my ambition to work with start-ups, make a more positive impact, and live a more balanced life, led me to launch Matterra: a boutique marketing consultancy, to help start-ups craft communication strategies that drive growth.

Over the past six years, I have partnered with founders across the US, EU, and UK markets, enabling start-ups at every stage from Pre-seed to Series C generate up to $12m/year in revenue.

Two years ago, I took the Business Sustainability Course at Cambridge University (CISL) and focused Matterra’s services on climate-tech startups, aligning my expertise with my passion for solutions to climate change.
I have since worked with pioneering start-ups in the carbon removal and sustainability spaces, including InPlanet and Ecosia, helping them achieve growth while amplifying their mission.

Outside of work, I enjoy mindfulness, yoga, and walks in nature with my rescue dog.
