A B2G marketing agency that has sat in the briefing room

Most agencies think government is a fat cousin of enterprise. Longer sales cycle, a few more forms, maybe a lobbyist. It is a different planet, shaped by fiscal law, risk aversion and politics, and a commercial playbook falls apart the moment it meets an Air Force Program Executive Officer or a provincial health buyer. Fello is a B2G marketing agency in Toronto working with defense primes and subs, aerospace companies, and dual-use startups in quantum, robotics and AI. For nearly a decade we have helped technically dense companies go from a good demo to multi-year contracts, on both sides of the border. Government work is one specialty inside our tech marketing agency.

The difference starts with where the work begins. Commercial marketing chases inbound. Government marketing chases capture. Once an RFP hits SAM.gov, ninety percent of the spec is frozen, and if your language is not in it, the prime that helped write it has already reserved the contract. So we start months earlier, with the funding line, the vehicle, the people who actually move budget, and the brand and content that make you look like a company that will still exist when the next administration takes office.

That matters because B2B is not B2C with a longer form. Your deal takes eighteen months. Six people sign off. Half your buying committee is technical and will spot a marketing team that does not understand the product within one sentence. The agencies that win B2B work are the ones that can sit in a room with your engineers, come out with the real story, and then build the brand and demand engine around it.

That is the entire job we do. Positioning and narrative first, then the website, content and campaigns that carry it to market.

B2G Positioning and Capture Narrative

A federal buyer has one test. Do you look like a company that will still be here in five years? We build the positioning that answers yes without hesitation: mission alignment first, product features second, risk removal last. The same narrative goes into your capability statement, your website and the slide a colonel uses at a quarterly review.

What we do:

Mission-Aligned Positioning and Messaging

Capability Statements and Past-Performance Narrative

Naming, Identity and Visual Credibility

Founder and Technical Leadership Story

Investor, Prime and Teaming Partner Decks

Dual-Use Brand Architecture

We design and build sites that pass that test and still look like they came from this decade.

What we do:

Firewall-Friendly Website Design and Development

Section 508 and WCAG Accessible Builds

Capability and Program Microsites

Teaming Partner and Proposal Microsites

What we do:

Capture Plan Support and Go/No-Go Briefs

Proposal Graphics and Executive Summaries

Industry Day and Base Demo Materials

Trade Show Presence: CANSEC, AUSA, SOFIC and Beyond

Hill-Friendly FAQs and Congressional Visit Kits

Pre-RFP Demand and Influence

The best B2G marketing happens before the RFP exists. We help you get in front of the people writing next year's requirements: targeted outreach around SAM.gov and CanadaBuys activity, plain-text campaigns that get through .gov filters, and the tabletop exercises and demo days that put your language in the document.

Phase 03: Build

Mission-first positioning and messaging architecture

Capability statement, decks and one-pagers

Firewall-friendly website and program microsites

Content versioned by persona and clearance

Phase 04: Influence and Scale

B2G marketing FAQ

B2G marketing FAQ

Most of our clients do not come to us because they want more content. They come because pipeline has stalled and nobody can explain why.

You win commercially and lose in government.

The demo lands, the champion loves it, and the deal dies somewhere between the contracting officer and the budget analyst. Your story was built for a CIO chasing upside, not a program manager avoiding a Senate hearing.

Your website looks like a startup, and the program office noticed.

Rainbow gradients, heavy trackers, a site that stalls inside a .mil firewall. Federal buyers decide in seconds whether you will still exist next administration. Your site is answering that question for you.

The RFP dropped and your language was not in it.

By the time a solicitation reaches SAM.gov, the spec is frozen and usually shaped by a prime. If you were not influencing requirements six months earlier, you are competing for a contract someone else already designed.

Marketing sits outside the capture team.

If your marketers are writing brochures while capture writes the proposal, you have two teams and no plan. In B2G, marketing owns pre-RFP influence, the solicitation-week sprint and the post-award narrative, or it is decoration.

Your collateral is consumer-grade.

A glossy brochure screams rookie. A capability statement with NAICS codes, TRL levels and real past performance reads serious. The buying committee is grading you on which one you sent.

You just won a Phase II and have to prove you can scale.

The SBIR was the easy part. Now a program office wants evidence of past performance, a path to Authority to Operate and a story that justifies a production contract three years out. That is a marketing problem wearing a procurement costume.

What does a B2G marketing agency do?

It helps companies sell to government: federal agencies, defense departments, provincial and state bodies, and the primes that hold their contracts. In practice that means positioning built around mission alignment and risk removal, a website that works inside government firewalls, content versioned for a large buying committee, and the pre-RFP influence work that shapes requirements before they are published. The difference from a B2B agency is the buyer. Government buyers are graded on avoiding failure, not chasing upside, and every asset has to reflect that.

Is B2G marketing really that different from B2B?

Yes, in three ways that break the commercial playbook. The clock runs on fiscal law, so missing a budget window costs a year. The committee grows from seven people to twenty once contracting officers, security officers and small-business advocates weigh in. And the buyer psychology flips, from a CIO chasing an edge to a program manager who fears headlines. Layer on ITAR, DFARS, FedRAMP and CMMC and you are in a different sport, not a longer version of the same one.

Do you help with proposals and capture, or just marketing?

Both, because in government they are the same team. We do not write your technical volume, but we build everything around it: the capture narrative, the proposal graphics and executive summary, the teaming microsite, the five-gate go/no-go brief, and the post-award material the program office actually shares. If your marketing is not inside capture, it is a brochure.

Do we need security clearances to work with you?

No. Marketing roles rarely need clearances, and our work stays on the unclassified side of the line. We build content that can be versioned for classified briefings by your cleared staff, and we structure everything so nothing sensitive ever passes through us. Where CUI or ITAR-controlled material is involved, we work inside your constraints, not around them.

Do you work with Canadian companies selling into the US, and vice versa?

Constantly. We are based in Toronto and a large share of our defense work crosses the border in both directions: Canadian companies pursuing DoD and DIU opportunities, and US companies working with DND, CANSEC and CanadaBuys. The compliance regimes differ, the buyer psychology does not.

What makes Fello different from a GovCon marketing shop?

Most B2G marketing agencies grew up serving services contractors bidding on federal work. We grew up in deep tech. Our clients build quantum computers, photonics, autonomy and medical devices, and their government marketing has to explain hard technology to a non-technical buyer without dumbing it down. Brand, web, video and content sit under one roof with one team, so the positioning we write in month one is the thing that ships in the proposal in month four.

How long does B2G marketing take to produce revenue?

Longer than commercial, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. Major contracts typically take eighteen to twenty-four months from first contact. The early work is trust, past performance through pilots and Phase II awards, and influencing requirements before they are written. We structure engagements so there is measurable signal early, like qualified program opportunities and RFI invitations, while the long cycle matures.

What should we measure?

Not MQLs, and not webinar attendance, because .gov domains block your nurture emails anyway. Track qualified program opportunities, capture win rate, proposal investment as a share of contract value, and for dual-use companies, contract-influenced commercial ARR. Land one IDIQ with a five-year ordering period and the scoreboard takes care of itself.

How much does a B2G marketing agency cost?

It depends on scope, and any agency that quotes before understanding your capture pipeline is guessing. What we can tell you is how we structure it. A positioning, capability and website build is a fixed-fee project scoped up front. Ongoing capture support and pre-RFP influence work runs as a monthly retainer sized to the programs you are pursuing. You get real numbers after one discovery call.

Can you help a company that has never sold to government before?

Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. Most of our dual-use clients came to us with a commercial product, a government use case and no idea how SAM.gov or a capture plan works. We start with the opportunity map and the five-gate filter so you pursue the right programs, then build the brand and content that make a first contract believable.
