Define Your North Star
Pick a single business outcome that matters most this quarter—qualified signups, demos booked, or paid conversions. Make it specific and time-bound to steer prioritization. Tell us your current target, and we’ll help translate it into channel-level metrics.
Define Your North Star
State the problem you solve, for whom, and why your solution is the better, faster, or cheaper path. A crisp statement aligns copy across ads, landing pages, and emails. Comment with your draft, and we’ll suggest punchier versions.
Research That Fits a Lean Budget
Combine lightweight surveys, five customer interviews, and analysis of competitor reviews to uncover real pains and triggers. Even ten honest responses can reshape your message. Ask for our scrappy interview script and start learning this week.
Jobs-To-Be-Done, Not Demographics
Define audiences by situations and desired progress, not just age or title. Focus on moments of struggle—what they tried, why it failed, and what “done” looks like. Post your top job statement, and we’ll help sharpen it.
Message-Market Fit Signals
Watch for uplift in click-through rates when you mirror customer language, and rising reply rates when subject lines echo their priorities. Track qualitative replies too; heartfelt responses often signal you’ve struck a nerve worth scaling.
Owned Channels: Your Compounding Assets
Start with a clear landing page, fast-loading blog, and email capture. Owned assets build trust and let you nurture leads without platform dependence. Drop your homepage link, and we’ll recommend a one-week optimization checklist.
Earned & Community: Credibility at Low Cost
Target niche communities, guest posts, and founder-led LinkedIn threads. Offer genuine expertise, not pitches. One thoughtful comment daily can outperform a rushed ad. Tell us your niche, and we’ll suggest three communities to join.
Paid: Tight Test Sprints, Not Burn
Run short, controlled experiments on the one paid channel your audience uses most. Cap budgets, test a few messages, and measure downstream quality, not just clicks. Share your CAC target, and we’ll sketch a 14-day ad testing plan.
Build a Content Engine That Compounds
Choose three content pillars tied to your customer’s journey—awareness, evaluation, decision. Publish one deep piece weekly, then slice it into shorts, carousels, and emails. Comment your pillars, and we’ll propose headline angles to test.
Build a Content Engine That Compounds
Promise less, deliver more. A sustainable rhythm beats a burst-and-burn cycle. Use a simple calendar: research Monday, draft Tuesday, publish Wednesday, distribute Thursday. Ask for our minimal template to kickstart your cadence today.
Budget, KPIs, and Attribution for Early-Stage
Start each month from zero. Fund channels that prove traction, pause those that do not. Small, reversible bets protect runway while you learn. Share your monthly ceiling, and we’ll propose a lean allocation tailored to your stage.
Budget, KPIs, and Attribution for Early-Stage
Link your North Star to channel metrics—visitor quality, activated trials, sales calls from qualified segments. When a number dips, you know which lever to pull. Post your current metrics, and we’ll map them into a clear KPI tree.
Budget, KPIs, and Attribution for Early-Stage
Combine UTMs, first-touch forms, and simple cohort views. Don’t overengineer; consistency beats complexity. Capture “How did you hear about us?” to reveal channels that analytics miss. We’ll help set a clean naming convention on request.
Design Experiments and Growth Loops
Write hypotheses with audience, channel, message, and success metric. Size by effort and impact, run the smallest test first, and review weekly. Share one hypothesis today, and we’ll refine it into a crisp, testable statement.
Design Experiments and Growth Loops
Product touchpoints are marketing moments. Clear onboarding boosts activation, and a simple referral nudge multiplies growth. Ask for our two-email onboarding sequence that warms trials into qualified demos without sounding robotic.
Roadmap, Rituals, and Resilience
A 90-Day Launch Plan
Phase your work: weeks 1–2 research and setup, weeks 3–6 content and channel tests, weeks 7–10 scaling winners, weeks 11–12 review and reset. Drop your start date, and we’ll translate this into milestones for your team.
