I help purposeful brands cut through the noise — with clear positioning, audience-first messaging, and campaigns that actually convert. Over the past 5+ years I've worked as a freelance strategist and content lead across B2B tech, health-tech, Web3, and professional services — always in niche markets where generic messaging doesn't work and every word has to earn its place. My work spans audience research and segmentation, brand positioning, LinkedIn outreach and advertising, sales funnel optimization, and multi-channel content strategy. Some highlights: growing a congress brand's LinkedIn from 80 to 800+ followers in 3 months with ~100 qualified leads per month; doubling a health-tech brand's social following organically in 2 months while generating pipeline in the DACH market; scaling a newsletter to 8K+ subscribers in under 6 months. I work best with brands that have something meaningful to say and need a strategic partner to help them say it clearly — to the right audience, on the right channels, at the right moment. I'm self-directed, deadline-driven, and comfortable working asynchronously across time zones. Currently open to remote, project-based engagements in digital marketing strategy, brand communications, LinkedIn campaigns, and content strategy.
