We believe that entrepreneurship and innovation is one of the best ways to improve economies throughout the world.

Our mission is to amplify people, products, and programs who are improving the way we live so that everyone has equal access to a better future.
Our Story
EST. 2017
Surthrive was founded in Atlanta, Georgia in 2017 by Justin McLeod (a founder, investor, and ecosystem builder), with the goal of helping early-stage startups craft their brand story through videography. Fast forward to today, we have evolved into a socially-driven marketing consultancy that has created strategies, campaigns, and programs for venture capital firms, social innovation non-profits, city chambers, and influential brands operated by underrepresented founders.
We have evolved over time but if you look back at our history one common thread has stayed true; we are service providers and educators to those that live at the intersection of entrepreneurship, technology, and social innovation.
Our Approach
We partner with social enterprises and growth-stage startups using our 3 pilliar approach: Innovation, Amplification, and Impact.
Innovation
We love working with B2B software companies or organization who support technology businesses.
Amplification
We specialize in combining customer research, scalable strategies, and brand messaging to produce impactful marketing efforts that reach new audiences.
Impact
Being a Black-owned consultancy we intentionally work with companies who are overlooked and underestimated, brands who service conscious consumers, and innovators disrupting Finance, Education, Health, and Economic Development.
