Bring your business online.
We're Viktor, Montague and Filippo. We help shops and brands that sell physical products, in store or online, get found and sell more: a website built to sell, then month-by-month work on your social media, search and website traffic. Clear prices, and every result measured.

Hi, we're Lodestar.
Three founders in Milan running Lodestar as a proper firm: written agreements, fixed prices and honest reports. Every client is one we want to be proud to name.
Viktor
Co-founder
Student in Milan with a passion for web development. Currently building Spotter, real-time computer vision software. Completed Mastercard's cybersecurity job simulation.

I'm Viktor Maras, a 15-year-old student at the British School of Milan. I founded Throttl, a car-spotting app for enthusiasts, and co-founded Lodestar, a digital marketing agency for shops and product brands, where I'm head of web development and built the entire website myself.
I taught myself to build Spotter, real-time computer-vision software that detects and tracks objects with a live bounding-box overlay, plus a trading terminal built from scratch. I recently completed Mastercard's Cybersecurity Job Simulation through Forage.

I oversee our financial operations and logistics. I manage financial profiling, progress tracking and expense reporting for our clients, ensuring complete transparency at every stage. Drawing on my training in Google-sponsored digital marketing programmes, I bring clarity and integrity to navigating your business's journey in the modern digital landscape.
My passion for data-driven forecasting and reporting stems from growing up in New York City, where I was exposed to the world of finance from an early age. Through competing in Model United Nations and debate across two global cities, I've honed the communication skills that shape Lodestar into a transparent, client-focused firm where your priorities come first.
Supported by a team of highly specialised co-founders, I'm dedicated to delivering an exceptionally professional experience for every client.
Filippo
Co-founder
Member of the Italian national debate team and a natural extrovert who loves public speaking. Usually the first voice you'll hear from us.

As an international student and natural extrovert, I'm a co-founder and the main voice of Lodestar. I'm responsible for sales, client communication and general organisation, and I'm often the first point of contact for businesses discovering what Lodestar can offer. I handle the initial calls, build the relationships and turn potential leads into clients.
My passion for public speaking and international affairs shows in my work with the Italian national debate team, with whom I won the novice tournament at the WHO (Winter Holidays Open) in Zagreb last year. I also love Model United Nations, where I've won Best Delegate at both SGBIS MUN and ASMUN. My biggest achievement so far has been my selection as one of just 18 students worldwide for the COBIS World Student Council, representing the student voice on a global level and developing my leadership, communication and diplomatic skills.
