You're shipping features. Your competitors are shipping stories that sell.

Most B2B SaaS teams between 1M and 10M ARR don't have product marketing. They have a gap where positioning, pipeline, and product adoption should be. I embed as your fractional PMM to close it.

No sales pitch - just a GTM teardown

The Problem

When growth slows, it's rarely the product

Leading with features, not value

Your product is powerful, but the story focuses on what it does rather than what it changes for the buyer. Deals slow down and sales has to do the positioning work that marketing should have done.

Three teams, way more than three stories

Marketing, sales, and product each describe your product differently. Prospects pick up on it. When your own team can't agree on the pitch, buyers don't trust it either.

Launches without structure or priority

Some go out unplanned. Others compete for the same attention. Either way, the engineering work your team just shipped gets ignored and the revenue impact disappears.

Go-to-market readiness

Is your go-to-market strategy actually working?

Most GTM problems aren't random, they follow a pattern. Answer 4 questions and I'll identify yours, with a clear starting point.

Start with what you're actually seeing right now:

Check all that apply

Doing more rarely fixes this. Let's see if the motion itself is working:

Now let's see if your strategy is actually clear or just feels clear:

Last one: Does your go-to-market motion run on a system or instinct?

Launch day is just the start

Most launches peak on day one. I coordinate the go-to-market moment across teams, then build the lifecycle messaging that drives adoption, upgrades, and retention long after the announcement.

How I work

Research first. Then I build.

One weekly sync, async in between, and a shared Notion workspace. You always know what is in progress.

01

Month 1: Research & Positioning

I research your buyers, analyze competitors, and deliver a positioning doc with messaging pillars. The strategic baseline that everything else rests on.

02

Month 2: Strategic priorities

Built on the Month 1 positioning, I dive into your pressing priorities. Whether that's inbound lead generation, shortening sales cycles, product adoption, or launch readiness. I work strategically on what moves your revenue most.

03

Month 3+: Full cadence

The engagement hits full rhythm. Because the positioning foundation is live, execution gets faster. Launches have a brief, messaging is consistent, sales finally knows what to say without asking you first. I double down on what is converting.

Who I work with

Let's make sure we're a good fit

This is where I do my best work. Don't fit all of them? Reach out anyway. I can usually figure out if there's a path forward.

About The PMM Co.

Who you're working with

In my early twenties, I played professional basketball. Back problems ended that earlier than I'd planned, and I spent a while figuring out what to do next.

I went back to school and got my MSc in Technology Entrepreneurship at DTU. The whole program was really about one thing: how do you take something technically complex and make it something a market actually wants? I was studying product marketing before I knew product marketing was a job.

The six years after that were spent inside B2B SaaS companies in Fintech, Banking, Cybersecurity, and Shipping. I launched more than 15 products, built the positioning frameworks that took companies from founder-led pitches to repeatable sales motions, and helped teams stop fighting about messaging. The work was always the same underneath: understand the buyer, understand the product, and find the clearest honest line between the two.

I work with European B2B SaaS companies that need senior PMM strategy without waiting six months to hire for it.

Why me?

Senior PMM strategy in weeks, not months

The Traditional Hire

  • CHF 120k-180k salary + benefits + recruiting = CHF 170k-230k total
  • 3-6 months to find, then 3 more months to ramp (6-9 months total)
  • Often a generalist lacking GTM depth
  • 1:1s, alignment meetings, reviews: Easily 5-10 hours/week managing them
  • Can't scale down when you hit a slow quarter or pivot strategy
Best Value

The PMM Co.

  • CHF 10'500 / month flat fee, no surprise invoices
  • Start in 2 weeks, not 6 months
  • Senior GTM strategy, not a generalist or a junior
  • Direct access: no account managers, no game of telephone
  • Scale up or down monthly, no risk if priorities shift
3-month trial, 60-day exit

Try it for 3 months, then 60-day notice if you want out.

The Big Agency

  • CHF 15k-25k / month for account managers + junior staff
  • Slow communication through account managers
  • Cookie-cutter frameworks that don't fit
  • They work on 8 other clients. Your product roadmap isn't their priority
  • 6-12 month contracts lock you in (even when it's not working)
