Build a Brand
Positioning & WebPositioning, messaging, and a website that actually converts. If you have no brand yet, we start at the name and work out. If you have one that stopped working, we find out why.
Marketing strategy for small and mid-size companies, from someone who builds the thing, not just the deck. Twelve years growing businesses on short timelines, in Seattle.
What I do
Positioning, messaging, and a website that actually converts. If you have no brand yet, we start at the name and work out. If you have one that stopped working, we find out why.
Launch strategy, pricing, financial modeling, and the demand plan behind it: SEO, paid, social, and email. The work I did running growth for venture-backed startups, sized for a small business budget.
The reporting, the follow-ups, the content calendar, the data entry. I build AI-assisted workflows and internal tools that take the repetitive half of your week off your plate.
iOS apps, web applications, and data tools, built end to end. Most marketing consultants hand you a spec. I can hand you the working software. See what I'm building now at Atlas Innovations.
