Role

Growth Lead, Product Marketer

Objective:

Launch a localized community platform by bridging the gap between creative storytelling and commercial outcomes, to leverage multi-channel distribution, accelerate the sales cycle and maximize customer lifetime value.

Role & Responsibilities:

Developed a comprehensive Go-To-Market strategy for a B2B subscription platform launch, owning the journey from initial positioning to lead qualification. I built a measurable and predictable funnel using HubSpot, focusing on high-quality lead scoring to ensure the sales team only focused on high-intent prospects. This reduced friction in the discovery phase and increased the overall win-rate.

The Strategy:

Positioning & Messaging: Developed a category-entry narrative that addressed specific ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) pain points, reducing the "explanation gap" during discovery calls.

Content as a Performance Lever: Deployed a multi-channel demand gen strategy using high-intent lead magnets (whitepapers, reports and incentives via drip email campaigns) to capture desired pipeline value.

Funnel Optimization: Built an automated lead-nurture sequence that qualified prospects before they reached the sales team, improving the MQL-to-SQL conversion rate.

The Outcomes:

Pipeline Growth: Generated 25% increase in qualified leads within the first 90 days.

Revenue Impact: Successfully hit 10% of the quarterly acquisition target within 90 days.

Sales Efficiency: Shortened the average sales cycle by 7 days through educational "middle-of-funnel" content.
