MARKETING CREW
Your marketing shouldn’t stop when you get busy.
You have the ideas. You have the expertise. You never seem to have the time to turn them into content that reaches the right people. Your Marketing Crew turns company knowledge, customer conversations and market signals into a continuing cycle of content, distribution and learning.
01 · THE PROBLEM
Your best ideas are stuck in your head.
You have a great customer conversation. You identify something important about your market. You solve a difficult problem worth sharing. Then another urgent thing comes along. The insight disappears into a meeting transcript, Slack thread or unfinished draft.
01
A customer says the thing everyone feels.
What slips
You mean to write it up after the call. The next call starts instead.

MEETING TRANSCRIPT
02
You spot a shift in your market.
What slips
It becomes a few messages to a co-founder rather than a point of view.

SLACK THREAD
03
You solve a problem worth sharing.
What slips
The first paragraph is good. The rest waits behind this week’s fires.

02 · GIVE THIS RESPONSIBILITY TO CREW ONE
Keep the company’s story moving.
Four jobs your Marketing Crew carries, so the story keeps moving when you are busy.

Off your plate: Guessing which ideas are actually working.

Will anything be published without me?
No. Anything that goes out in your name comes back to you for editorial approval first.
- 02
Where do the ideas come from?
From your own company: customer conversations, work in progress and the market signals you choose to connect. The aim is to say what only your company can say.
- 03
Will it sound like us?
It works from your existing material and learns from your edits. Each correction shapes the next draft.
Your ideas deserve to make itout into the world.
Bring the conversations, the expertise and the point of view. Keep the final say on what goes out.
Your context. Your rules. Your final say.
Run the company. Not the agents.
