three ways to
work with me

Take the whole engine, or just the part you could use a hand with.

1

The whole marketing function in one person. Strategy, execution, and all the operational work that holds it together. A good fit if you have no marketing team yet, or a team of one who could use the backup.

  • growth strategy & icp
  • demand generation
  • hubspot & marketing ops
  • content & seo
  • linkedin thought leadership

  • linkedin, meta & google

  • multi-market funnels

fractional aeo

Your buyers ask ChatGPT before they ask Google. AEO is the work of making sure your product shows up in that answer. Same discipline as SEO, just a different machine doing the reading.

  • prompt & mention tracking
  • comparison & alternatives pages
  • schema & structured data

Starting AEO properly: a run of comparison and category pages, plus the technical groundwork. Four weeks later the site was being quoted across AI Overviews nearly three times as often, and average search position improved in every market.

03why this is harder than it was

the shortlist gets
built before
anyone talks
to you.

B2B funnels stopped being funnels. Buyers loop, lurk, ask their peers, and quietly assemble a vendor list long before anyone fills in a form. By the time they reach your pricing page, the decision is mostly made.

86%

already have a vendor list on day one, before researching properly.

92%

end up buying from that day-one list.

72%

start by asking a peer, not a search engine or a salesperson.

So the work is getting you onto that list early. Here's how I'd go about it.
"we'll look at it next quarter" "who else did you shortlist?" "never heard of them"
95%

of deals go to vendors already on the buyer's day-1 shortlist

Bain, 6sense, LinkedIn B2B Institute and Gartner buyer studies, 2024–2026
04how i work

get on the list,
in four steps

We agree the direction early, so building can start almost straight away. Then it loops, because step four feeds straight back into step one.

01

define

Messaging, audience, ICP. Who we're talking to, what problem we solve, and why anyone should care. Everything downstream gets easier once this one is settled.

02

build

Funnel design from problem-aware to product-aware. Lead magnets, content, ad concepts, nurture sequences, the pages they land on. The part where things actually get made.

03

distribute

Find where buyers search and spend time. LinkedIn, Google, Meta, AI search, your own list. Pick the channels, launch the campaigns, reach actual humans.

04

improve

Measure, iterate, experiment. Influenced pipeline, channel metrics, what's working and what quietly isn't. The step that never ends, in a good way.

05the path here

from pre-seed to post-exit,
usually the first marketer in.

2017 — 2019

Digital Marketing @ Lumoa

Pre-seed and seed. Marketing team of one. Content, SEO, webinars, and co-marketing with people who had no business replying to me.

2019 — 2021

Marketing Manager @ AddSearch

Seed, PLG, solo marketer again. Cut cost per trial by 30% and pushed average MRR from €25 to over €400 by chasing better-fit accounts.

2021 — 2022

Growth Specialist @ AdvanceB2B

Agency side. Led a team of three per client, ran growth strategy and ads for B2B SaaS brands, presented to CMOs and C-level.

2022 — 2025

Demand Generation @ Lumoa & Netigate

Through the acquisition and into the scale-up. Owned paid acquisition on a €250k budget across five markets, plus automation and lead scoring.

2025 — now

Anna was the first marketer in the company and had to figure out things really fast. She set up many of the marketing processes that we didn't have before and got us on great speed through that. She was great to figure things out when confronted with a new marketing problem, as well as networking with other marketers outside of the company.

of open pipeline already touched by brand before sales opened a conversation
