About notus

Many companies already see the value of personal branding & content, but struggle to:

• come up with the right strategy
• find the time to produce content
• be consistent and play the long game

That’s why we’re here.

At notus, we build content engines for B2B founders & executives.

We help them leverage the best marketing asset there is – people. (aka personal brands)

We believe that in the future, businesses will thrive on personal brand-led content, so it’s our mission to build an ecosystem of businesses driven by it.

Our roots are in New York City, where our founder, Marvin Sanginés, started documenting his journey starting a marketing agency in 2020.

In the process, he realized that what brought him the most value & opportunities was his personal brand – so he wanted to offer his clients the same.

Fast forward 4 years, and we’ve had the pleasure to work with some of the coolest founders & executives in the game.

From 9-figure entrepreneurs like Noah Kagan and Jesse Puji, to executives of billion-dollar companies like Swisscom and Rhomberg.

notus is young and growing fast.

Our team consists of driven individuals with a love for content, an eye for detail and a whole lot of positive energy.

The content strategist role is very popular because you literally get paid to learn from successful founders & execs every day. (yes, you read that right.)

In addition, we support you in building your own personal brand.

So, what will you be doing? Let’s take a closer look at the role:
