Close Collaboration

Close collaboration between marketing and sales, ensures that marketing activities and sales objectives are aligned resulting in lead generation, nurturing and conversion strategies throughout the sales funnel.

Execute Digital Marketing Tactics

I implement goal focused tactics including email marketing, content marketing, search engine marketing, and social media advertising to boost brand awareness and generate high-quality leads.

Track, Monitor & Measure

As a data-driven marketer, I use analytics tools to monitor and measure campaign effectiveness, analyze KPI's, and generate valuable insights and recommendations.

My Playground

I position at the intersection between your product development, sales, customer success and marketing teams and make it my business to provide them with market insights, customer feedback, marketing and sales enablement tools and talk-track / messaging in order to create a market fit that is uniquely and unitedly ours.

Every touch-point from sales conversations to marketing campaigns and customer interactions become our benchmark to messaging excellence.
