NOVEMBER 2026 · PAY WHAT YOU CAN

Marketing that meets you where you are.

For the whole month of November, DigiStrat is offering pay-what-you-can digital marketing to women-led and 2SLGBTQIA+-led small businesses, charities and nonprofits. You choose the amount. We do the work.

WHY WE'RE DOING THIS

Good marketing shouldn't depend
on who has access to capital.

I started DigiStrat five years ago with a goal: grow the business enough to give real marketing support to women-led, queer-led and minority-owned businesses and charities — the people who are too often shut out of funding, networks and the kind of help bigger companies take for granted.

Pay What You Can November is a step toward that. Every spot is real, hands-on work from our team, sized to what you’re able to pay. And every spot sponsored by our wider community helps someone else get started.

— Rejini Jacob, Founder of DigiStrat

This is for you if…

  • Your business, charity or nonprofit is women  led and/or queer led
  • You have fewer than 5 staff
  • Marketing help has felt out of reach at full price
  • You’re ready to share logins and answer a few questions so we can get to work

This isn't for you if…

  • Your business can comfortably pay standard rates. Please ask us about our regular packages or sponsor a spot instead
  • You’re a larger company, franchise or agency
  • You’ve already claimed a spot for this business
  • You need a website build, full SEO audit or ad campaign (see what’s not included below)

BUILT ON TRUST

This works on the honour system.

We’ll never ask you to prove who you are. We trust you to tell us about your business and what you can afford.

If your business can comfortably pay our standard rates, please leave these spots for those who can’t. You can still support the campaign by sponsoring a spot.

    Optional. Leave blank if you are paying it forward or do not have this information.

    How is the business receiving support led?

    Self-identify; no proof needed. Applicants: select all that apply. Sponsors: complete this only if known, or leave blank when paying it forward.



    Which level are you applying for or sponsoring? *

    • Each level includes one round of revisions. Extra work is billed at our standard rates.
    • You keep ownership of all your accounts and logins.

    Questions

    Do I need to prove I'm part of these communities?

    No. We never ask for proof of identity. We trust you to self-identify honestly. 

     

    That’s exactly what the Quick win level is for. Pick one service and we’ll do it well.

    Nothing is automatic. If you’d like ongoing help, we’ll share a discounted monthly option when we deliver your work.
