Three Years and Counting with Intellistart!

Time flies when you’re having fun and it’s officially been three years since Intellistart took off!

We can’t believe it has been 3 years since the company was formed! In case you weren’t familiar with our story, the Leeds and Manchester based Marketing agency for Law Firms and Businesses Intellistart was formed and co-founded in 2018 by Joel Cortez.

Prior to the official launch, Joel worked as an in-house marketer for a corporate/ commercial law firm, an insurance brokerage, and a personal injury law firm in Manchester.

Ahead of and during studying a degree in BA (Hons) Law, and LLB (Hons) Law, Joel spent many years working with businesses both big and small in Manchester, helping them to grow, creating processes, reaching new customers and communicating what they do.

With frustrations of lockdown all around, an idea formed where Intellistart could solve a problem for many law firms and businesses. The solution to the problem is simple – bring all of your communications, projects and objectives to one place!
