WHAT WE DO

We provide startups, scaleups and SMEs with guidance, strategy, and practical support for content and digital marketing planning and execution.


With Square One, you'll get the expertise, skills development, and writing and editing muscle you need to help your team reach target audiences with authentic, engaging content that gets results.

POPULAR SERVICES

Get tailored advice and support for your unique business priorities—on a project basis or for longer engagements.

Content Marketing

Prioritise content that moves the needle with expert content strategy, content planning, content creation, and quality assurance support.

Research + Analysis

Understand what's working for you, what's not, why, and how to improve—including content audits, user research, brand research, website performance audits, and SEO audits.

Demand-Gen + Lead-Gen

Create awareness in the market with problem-education, SEO, and SEM help. Or attract and capture problem-aware prospects with high-performing targeted campaigns, lead nurture programmes, and marketing automation support.

Messaging Frameworks

Build your go-to-market messaging on audience insights. I work with your iCPs to uncover the key messages, value drivers, and positioning you need to articulate your offering and close deals.

Performance Optimisation

Improve the performance of your website, paid marketing, campaigns, conversion funnels, email engagement, and search with optimisation analysis, advice, and execution.

Fractional Marketing

No internal marketing resource, need help with a little bit of everything, or just want a more flexible arrangement? Enjoy the benefit of my extensive marketing management expertise and experience over 6, 9, or 12 months without the commitment of a full-time hire.

For Your Launch Stage

While your majority focus may be on product development, user research, and iterating on your MVP, product messaging, positioning, and brand awareness are also critical to launch success. 


For Your Growth Stage

You've gained traction, your product is stable, and recurring revenue is keeping the lights on. Now's the time to focus on improving conversions, sales enablement, and lead gen to increase market share. 

For Your Maturity Stage

You've gone as far as you can with early adopters and sales have plateaued, but there's more share of market to be had. Let us help you examine resourcing, metrics, optimisations, and revamp your digital marketing strategy.
