Alexandra Cote
Content Marketing, Growth, SaaS - for brands in productivity, MarTech, HR Tech, and AI ☄️
Alexandra was incredible to talk with. She has a creative, strategic and very methodical mind, and it was eye opening to get a peak into her thought process. I got so much out of this call! Alexandra walked me through her SEO process in detail and answered all my questions (I had a lot!) patiently sharing her logic for every decision. She also gave me great feedback on some of my strengths, for personal branding and how to grow my business which was such an unexpected part of the call. I would highly recommend talking to her when you need a creative, strategic thinker who can also find order and patterns in chaos. She is so well-rounded, a methodical growth marketer who zoom out to see big picture, and see details while creating plans for action. I'll definitely be talking to Alexandra again!
In a conversation with Alexandra, a go to market strategy was practically born. I walked away with nuances, warnings and clear steps to start with. Strategy was of most importance, but tactics were included too. I also left with a smile! Thanks Alexandra!
In my call with Alexandra, she shared a lot of knowledge and insights into content production processes. She gave me specific tips for each part of the process, such as how to set up the team, what tools to use, what metrics to look at, etc. I left the call with a lot of new information and insights. Thanks Alexandra!

Expertise
Building a team
Building a marketing team? Besides helping you decide what the profile of your next hire should look like, I'll show you know exactly: - Where to find talent - How to vet your applicants - How to decide what salary and benefits work best - What career growth opportunities you can offer to your marketing team
Content marketing
I believe content is the root of every marketing strategy. Inevitably, you'll be creating content with any GTM plan you have. But how do you stand out through content alone, when everyone else already knows the secrets of great content?
Conversion rate optimisation
There are millions of things you can test to improve your conversion rate. But how do you prioritize what to test? And more importantly, do you have the right audience to actually get relevant results from a mere A/B test?
Email marketing
Whether you're looking to create the perfect drip sequence or a newsletter that stands out, drop me a DM with everything that's already in place before our call. We'll look into innovative newsletter ideas that will get your ideal customers to sign up and tweak your email automation flows.
Growth marketing
Taking your product from 0 to 10K/month? Looking to scale beyond that? I've got all the right strategies and tips for continually learning and applying growth "hacks" that will work with your ideal customer persona.
Link building
Does it work? Does it not? Feel free to ask me anything on how to make correct and safe link-building decisions. Not all links are equal. And no, a link exchange opportunity isn't a good partnership.
SEO
I'm an on-page and off-page SEO specialist so if you're looking to grow organically, we MUST discuss what you're doing on the SEO side. Send me your website before the call so I can run it through a quick audit and point out some must-have changes as well as tiny tweaks that will go a long way.
Venting frustration
Don't know how to prioritize your marketing efforts? Is going all-in on marketing even the right choice? Don't have the resources your competitors can afford? You're struggling to hire the right people or contactors? I'm here to listen and come up with actionable strategies for fixing all of these challenges.
Toolkit
Ahrefs
12 years of experienceMy SEO tool of choice since forever. I'll show you what to look at, when [and how often] to do that, and what data will only impede your decision-making process.
Drip
6 years of experienceWhether you need to re-think your drip campaigns or get subscribers to engage more, I've got all the right tips for you. Plus, we can also look over proven ways of creating a SaaS newsletter everyone in your target market will want to get. And, how to convert those subscribers into users.
LinkedIn
11 years of experienceWant to launch your personal brand on LinkedIn? Or maybe you're finally thinking of resurrecting your company page. Ask me anything! I've got memes, controversial posts, different types of content, and some ABM hacks.
Mailchimp
12 years of experienceTo be fair, this tool is not a fit for all brands. Specifically, most SaaS companies will find more value with other marketing automation tools. We'll analyze whether it's the best choice for you and how you can best leverage it.
Youtube
11 years of experienceI use a lot of tools, but YouTube is a big passion of mine so I had to highlight it. Always open to discussing your next video strategy, be it on YouTube or self-hosted. I've got a whole rant on that. 😉
Industries
Human Resources
I work extensively with HRTech brands in all sub-industries such as L&D, recruitment, hiring, interviewing, payroll, and more. I handle content strategy and writing as well as SME communication. Hence, I've built a strong understanding of both products and people involved in this industry.
Marketing
As an experienced marketer, I've had the luck of working as part of a team, managing a team and collaborators, as well as running all marketing efforts myself as a solo marketer. I've also worked with several MarTech companies on growth, content, and product marketing.
Project Management
I'm a SaaS growth advisor, content strategist, and messaging consultant with a passion for product marketing wonders, content marketing, conversion rate optimization, ABM, and keyword research (Hooray for SEO!).
