Shattering ceilings: a female-founded agency’s five-year journey
In the dynamic realm of education marketing, where adaptability and innovation are the keys to success, Pink Orange is all set to celebrate a remarkable milestone – its fifth anniversary.
Founded by Xenia Muether, Pink Orange has emerged as a trailblazing force in the field of education marketing, setting new standards, and making an indelible mark on the industry.
"Climbing the ladder as a young millennial woman in this industry has been a journey filled with challenges, but it's also been a canvas for creating my own masterpiece. Leading Pink Orange has shown me that age and gender are not constraints; they are catalysts for innovation, resilience, and change. Embrace the opportunity to rewrite the narrative and inspire the next generation of leaders, because being a millennial woman in business isn't a limitation, it's our superpower," said Xenia Muether, Founder & CEO of Pink Orange.
Over the past five years, it has grown from a promising startup into a globally recognised agency with a passion for delivering innovative and data-driven education marketing solutions. Its success story is a testament to its unwavering commitment to helping clients redefine their approach to brand awareness and lead generation, all while making data-driven decisions.
As Xenia aptly puts it: "Having worked client-side before, she knows how frustrating it can be to work with a partner that doesn't really understand the complexity of education. A product as unique as this doesn't sell with a simple ad or a two-sequence email journey. Pink Orange exists to help their clients understand the best full-funnel approach for their program or product and translate that into compelling content, engaging creatives, and strategic campaigns."
One of the defining moments in the journey has been its active participation in conferences and networking events, where Xenia herself has taken the stage as a speaker. It's through these platforms that they've not only shared their expertise but also learned from the best in the industry, solidifying their position as thought leaders.
The team has grown substantially, with office-based employees in London and a talented group of remote staff spanning the globe from the UK to Singapore, Nigeria, and South Africa. This diversity is a source of immense pride, as it reflects their commitment to providing opportunities for individuals from various backgrounds to contribute their unique perspectives and skills.
Talking about expansion
Pink Orange's growth isn't just limited to the team's expansion. It’s also broadened its client base, demonstrating adaptability and versatility. In addition to its deep roots in higher education and edtech, the company has successfully ventured into working with prep schools in the UK area, showcasing its ability to cater to diverse educational sectors.
Its niche is education marketing, and it has cultivated a profound understanding of this market's intricacies.

An exciting new chapter
As it celebrates five years of accomplishments, the team is not resting on their laurels. In fact, they're gearing up for an exciting new chapter with the imminent launch of their sister ethical marketing agency. While they're keeping the details under wraps for now, this new venture will exemplify the company’s commitment to ethical practices and its dedication to providing top-tier marketing solutions.
