Responsibilities
Project Manage & Strategize Marketing Experiments. Our founders are testing out marketing channels like conferences and client dinners. They need guidance to make sure that not only are the logistics of the events flawless, but that they’re also being thoughtfully strategic about the goals, tracking, positioning, budgets, and tradeoffs of these high stakes events as part of their overall GTM plans
Teach & Train Founders on All Thing Marketing. We take the “I do, we do, you do” approach with our founder services. You’ll be able to meet founders where they are and provide advice, templates, and/or hands-on help with their marketing projects across a variety of channels, industries, and team sizes
