Strategy when you need clarity. Execution when it matters.
From early-stage concepts to global launches, we work hands-on with teams to turn ideas into things people use.
Operating since 2025 across 12 projects in gaming, AI tools, and Telegram-native publishing. Based in Portugal. Remote-first.
Each practice is run by operators who have done it at scale. We engage as strategic partners, interim leadership, or hands-on builders, depending on what the work needs.
Define what to build. And why it matters.
Launch with intent. Scale with clarity.
Build IP people recognise. And remember.
The right relationships change everything.
Build smarter. Scale faster.
Go where the users already are.
Marathon Variety is Mark Laursen and Amber Sutera.
We operate across advisory and hands-on building. We work alongside teams while shipping our own tools and projects, so our perspective stays grounded in real execution.
Mark and Amber also take on individual engagements as executive producers, advisors, board members, and fractional leaders, for companies that want operators on the problem, not consultants on the sidelines.
We take on a small number of engagements each quarter.
