Growth is a whole-company pursuit and typically requires close alignment between product and marketing. I can create a framework for driving growth, including measurement, effective prioritisation, experimentation and reporting. Improve performance at each stage of the funnel, and find growth loops

Channel specific tactics

Channel specific tactics

I have strategic and hands-on experience with a broad range of channels and can give detailed guidance on paid search and paid social, SEO strategy (editorial and high level technical), broader content strategy, partnerships, PR, and affiliates. My experience runs across B2B & B2C, multi-vertical.

Sales and Marketing alignment

Sales and Marketing alignment

With experience in both, I can help align the two. I began my career in sales at Google, focused on customer success and revenue expansion. As a marketing leader, I've worked closely with sales and customer success functions to optimise alignment and efficiency through the customer lifecycle.
