Marketing

Not ads.Not SEO.

Marketing is not ads, or SEO. Marketing is what shapes the product and everything around it.

three habits

How I work

  1. 1

    Start with the customer.

    When a product isn't growing, the first thing I check is whether the customer and their problem are understood well enough.

  2. 2

    Understand the founder before challenging them.

    When research disagrees with the original idea, I want to know the reasoning behind that idea first. Then I challenge the assumptions.

  3. 3

    Strategy is choosing.

    Where should this business compete, and where should it grow? That decision shapes the product, the message and the channels. It is the part of marketing I am best at.
