Bio
Hi there, I'm Charlie π I'm a growth marketer with 8+ years experience working in the NoAm and EMEA regions (and recently moved to Australia to add APAC to the mix as well!). I specialise in helping B2B startups & scale-ups achieve goals through innovative strategies including product-led and content-led growth. I'm a proud generalist with particular expertise in integrated campaigns, digital channels, events, and partner marketing. My superpower is bringing people together: whether building a high-performance growth team from a mix of in-house + agency/freelance support or working well with cross-functional and/or regional counterparts. I'd love to talk through subjects like... β Integrated growth marketing plans β Data-informed decision making (how to use data + qualitative insights) β Agile execution frameworks β Working through common bottlenecks to achieve scale β Building high-performance teams with in-house + external resources β Performance-based SEO & content strategy β Paid social β Lifecycle marketing (acquisition, conversion, and retention)
