Content Strategy to Generate Demand and Grow Your Brand

I develop—and execute—strategy and content.

I help medtech and manufacturing brands grow through clarity, trust, consistency, and relevance—with customers, decision-makers, and channel partners alike.

Differentiation gets attention. Strategy gets results.

B2B marketing, especially in regulated industries, is a high wire act. Your content needs stay compliant yet generate leads AND build brand awareness.


The "safest" content doesn't help you stand out. Get too creative, though, and you risk confusion—and noncompliance.

That's where I come in.


With my unique approach, I help marketing teams build a strategy that locks brand voice to business objectives, and SEO-friendly content that drives interest and engagement.

Whether you're an enterprise-scale team or a growing startup...

Your messaging challenge needs strategic thinking, creative clarity, and a human touch. Whether you’re scaling a brand, launching something new, or just need your story to stick the landing—I can help.

Delivering strategic storytelling that captivates and activates.

Messaging & Positioning

You don't gamble on product development, so why gamble on assumptions about your customer? I talk to them. Then I segment and strategize your Go-to-Market with confidence.

Copywriting & Content

Generative AI won't generate demand. It might assist, but you still need the shrewd synthesis and creativity of a human writer with 20+ years of master-level experience.

Marketing Strategy

Hunches and old information will lose you money—and customers. I use fresh data and analysis to align brand, product, and customer needs and values to optimize ROI.

Scriptwriting & Video Production

If you're not using video, you're going unseen. I write scripts and enlist trusted partners to produce original product and business videos.

Frequently Imagined Questions

1. How much do your services cost?

I offer a flat rate for strategy work—typically between $1000 and $3000. This is an average rate for my labor, expertise, and the in-depth work that I do, and it includes all time spent, including communication.

I may use generative AI to augment my process and test content, but I never automate your deliverables or offload them to AI.

If you wish to have me implement the strategy, and/or guide your team or provide training, I will scope that separately, usually offering a lower-priced monthly retainer for ongoing services.

2. What is the expected ROI? What if I don't earn back the cost of hiring you?

The success of any marketing campaign or strategy depends on many factors. No legitimate consultant will offer you a guarantee, because we can't. And those that do you should avoid at all costs.

I can tell you however that my work gets results. It's hard to measure the ROI of good strategy and clarity, but my content is designed to meet your SMART objectives. Moreover, I typically find opportunities for cost savings in the process.

3. How long does it take to see results from digital marketing campaigns?

The timeline for seeing results from digital marketing depends on the type of campaign and your specific goals. For example, paid advertising (PPC) campaigns can generate leads almost immediately, while SEO efforts may take 3-6 months to show significant improvements. Consistent effort, strategic planning, and regular monitoring are key to achieving sustained success in digital marketing.

4. What's it like working with you? What's your process?

It depends on your specific needs. During our free initial 15-minute call, I'll start by asking you some questions about your business, needs, goals, and risk tolerance.

Once we begin, I typically conduct a content and brand audit with a brief analysis of your business, corporate identity, brand messaging, target audience, industry, and competitors. Based on this research, I develop a customized digital content strategy that aligns with your business goals. This may include a combination of SEO, PPC, social media marketing, content marketing, and email marketing to ensure the best possible results for your brand.

Then it's up to you whether you'd like to hand this off to your team for execution, or whether you want me to help coach your team directly. In some cases I will also be available to produce the content myself.

5. Do I need to have a large budget to be successful?

No, digital marketing can be effective on any budget. The key is to allocate your resources wisely by focusing on the channels and tactics that will have the most impact for your business. Whether you have a small budget for targeted social media ads or a larger budget for a comprehensive campaign, we tailor our strategies to maximize your ROI and drive meaningful results.

Enterprise clients can expect deliverables that fully meet budgetary constraints. Small and medium businesses can expect guidance on cost expectations, but should be prepared to decide on allocations before execution of any strategy.
