This is for you
You'll get the most out of working together if…
- ✓You have a product that's working, but pipeline is inconsistent or referral-dependent
- ✓You need senior marketing leadership without the full-time CMO overhead
- ✓You're losing deals to inferior products and don't fully understand why
- ✓You want an operator who builds things, not a strategy deck that collects dust
- ✓You're open to AI-native approaches that create a real speed advantage
- ✓You're in healthcare IT, fintech, edtech, cybersecurity, or B2B SaaS
This is not for you
We're probably not the right fit if…
- ×You want a consultant who validates what you're already doing
- ×You're pre-revenue and still searching for product-market fit
- ×You need someone to run paid ads in isolation, without positioning context
- ×You want to move slowly — engagements are built for speed
What I do
Six ways we can work together
Engagements are scoped around your actual gaps, not a packaged retainer built for someone else's company.
01
Marketing Audit
Two weeks. Diagnose your positioning gaps, message clarity, and demand system — before you spend another dollar guessing. The clearest picture of where your revenue is leaking.
02
Fractional CMO Retainer
Embedded senior marketing leadership — without the full-time overhead. Strategy, team direction, board-level reporting, and direct execution ownership in your market.
03
Demand Generation
Build the pipeline system that makes revenue predictable. Positioning, channel strategy, and measurement — designed to compound over time, not spike and fade.
04
AI Marketing & GEO Audit
Audit your brand's visibility in AI-generated answers. Covers citation gaps, GEO/AEO scoring, and a prioritized action plan to make your brand the answer AI gives your buyers.
05
Product Marketing & Positioning
Win-loss analysis, buyer research, competitive differentiation, and messaging frameworks that give your sales team language that actually closes deals — built on evidence, not opinions.
06
Go-to-Market Strategy
Full GTM buildout: ICP definition, channel strategy, pricing input, launch planning, and funnel architecture. Designed to produce measurable outcomes in 90 days, not 12 months.
AI-Native Marketing
The tools most CMOs are still learning — already deployed in client work.
Most marketing consultants talk about AI. I've built AI products. That means I bring them into client engagements as live advantages, not theoretical frameworks.
"We have AI too" is no longer a differentiator. I help you find the positioning angle that makes buyers choose you because of the outcome, not the technology stack.
Start with an auditSmird Built by me
AI citation monitor and GEO/AEO auditor. Tracks how often and accurately your brand appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude — and identifies exactly what to fix.
Supermode Built by me
Productized AI agent service for SMBs. Automates repeatable marketing workflows so your team operates at 3× capacity with the same headcount.
AI-Powered GTM Stack
From prospect research and personalization at scale to automated outreach and real-time competitive intelligence — every engagement runs on modern AI tooling, not legacy playbooks.
How it works
Four phases. No surprises.
Every engagement follows the same structure because the fundamentals don't change — only the variables do.
01
Assess
Current-state download: positioning, pipeline, competitive landscape. Brutally honest about what's working and what isn't — before touching anything.
02
Align
Shared ICP definition, differentiated value proposition, growth levers, and 90-day target outcomes. Everyone agrees before we build anything.
03
Build
Messaging frameworks, campaign architecture, team enablement, AI tooling deployment. Built to be owned by your team long after the engagement ends.
04
Accelerate
Performance loops: what's converting, what's leaking, what to double down on. Data-driven iteration at the speed that creates compounding returns.
Proof of concept
Proof is in the pipeline.
