Data-Driven Segmentation and Personalization
Build micro-segments around jobs to be done, not demographics. A bootstrapped analytics founder split trials by integration intent and activation pace, then tailored nudges, lifting paid conversions noticeably without increasing ad spend.
Category Design and Founder-Led Positioning
Name the enemy, crown the customer
Define the old way as the real enemy and make your customer the hero. When you reframe messy spreadsheets as silent growth taxes, buyers lean in and remember your narrative.
Craft a sharp point of view manifesto
Write one page that states what changed, what winners do now, and the cost of waiting. Use it to align ads, outreach, and product decisions so every touch reinforces the same promise.
A founder’s mini case story
A niche logistics startup stopped selling features and evangelized zero-inbox fulfillment. Their demo became a before and after story, and leads started repeating the tagline back during discovery calls.
Pick an attribution method you can actually defend
Early stage teams often benefit from simple blended reporting plus qualitative call notes. As volume grows, supplement with position based or data driven models and triangulate patterns rather than chasing precision.
Define conversion events that resist vanity
Use milestone events tied to value creation, like first successful outcome, not mere clicks. Document the operational definition so marketing, product, and sales interpret success the same way every week.
Holdout tests over dashboards alone
Run geo or audience holdouts to prove incremental impact before scaling budgets. Even small, two week tests can reveal channel lift. Try one this month and share your findings with the community.
Creative Testing with Psychological Precision
Run weekly cycles testing pains, outcomes, and objections across three formats. Track quality traffic and downstream activation, not just clicks. Archive losers quickly and double down where curiosity and intent rise together.
Account-Based Motions for Small Teams
Monitor hiring, tech changes, and product announcements. When a trigger appears, send a one minute loom mapping your solution to their new reality. Thirty tailored videos often beat three thousand generic emails.
Account-Based Motions for Small Teams
Deliver a custom teardown, a benchmark snapshot, or a tiny working prototype. Make the asset sharable inside the account so champions spread it. Ask for a ten minute reaction call, not a full demo.
AI-Assisted Marketing, Ethically Applied
Synthesize interview notes, cluster themes, and draft hypotheses quickly. Validate with real customer calls before shipping changes. Treat AI as a thinking partner that proposes options, not an oracle with final answers.
