Engage at two points
Earlier is better :
The best time to start marketing = while you're building.
In development
Pre-launch
Looking to step back and define your differentiators?Feeling distracted or "caught in the knitting"?Wondering how to deploy finite resources?
Let's make a plan!
In market, adapting and scaling
Post-launch
Noticing increased acquisition costs or churn?Are inferior products gaining market share?Planning on entering a new market? A pivot?
A fresh POV can help.
Problems I love solving
De-risking big bets
Before investing in a full development cycle, costly outbound campaign, or risky FT hire, quickly test your hypotheses via prototypes and experiments.
Facilitating tough conversations
Go-to-market success requires close cooperation. We'll bring together cross-functional leaders to unlock new opportunities for growth.
Simplifying jargon
Teams sometimes get so close to product that they struggle to convey value in plain language. We'll create core GTM assets that resonate.
Assumptions
It's your company
We'll focus on the outcomes that matter to your organization.
🧠 Head + Heart 💗
We'll honor analytical and emotional perspectives alike.

About Jeremy
I'm a product marketer with a user research background. I have an MBA from MIT.Previously, I worked at Adobe, HubSpot, and Altitude (connect on LinkedIn!) 👋I believe in-depth customer research generates real competitive advantage.
Partner with me to win!
Together, we'll surface key themes and identify new opportunities.
How this works
1. Alignment and KickoffWe'll define your learning goals and hypotheses, identify some target personas, and pull a list of priority closed won and lost deals from the past ~90 days.2. Recruit participantsWe'll reach out to a dozen recent prospects / buyers with a personal, respectful approach. We'll offer small incentives in return for their interview participation.3. Facilitate InterviewsI'll record 1:1 video calls to get the full story in their own words: how they evaluated, who they considered, their strong emotions, and how they made their choice.4. AnalysisI'll analyze transcripts, identify themes, and distill concrete recommendations for sales, marketing, and product. We'll meet to walk through the findings together.
You'll also receive an LLM-friendly insights doc with all transcripts.

Sharpen your competitive edge. Get closer to the truth.
We'll get from kickoff to insights in <90 days.
Maybe you're collecting feedback already?
But are these insights truly driving action?It's not enough to capture ad-hoc NPS/CSAT via survey. Deep qualitative research amplifies the voice of your customers, drives organizational alignment, and helps teams strategically allocate and deploy finite GTM resources.
Why hire an outside researcher?
It is difficult to run win-loss in-house.
Neutrality = honestyBuyers give more candid feedback to a third party. Internal teams may trigger guarded or political answers. As a researcher, I’m not selling anything.Specialized skillsetAn experienced qualitative interviewer knows how to probe, listen between the lines, and avoid bias. I'll extract strategic themes and avoid leading questions.Speed and BandwidthInternal teams are often too busy or too close to the subject matter. An outsider can execute quickly, maintain focus, and deliver synthesis from a fresh POV.Comparative ContextA freelancer with cross-company experience brings benchmarks, red flags, best practices, and new perspective on what's typical vs urgent vs important.
Gain clarity and alignment.Via a fresh outsider POV.
