Let's get your story straight

Hey, I’m Defne. I help B2B tech startups nail their positioning and messaging, then put it to work across their website, content, and launches.

Sound familiar?

If you're like some of my clients, maybe this hits close to home

Prospects don’t really get what you do until you explain it on a call (and you can’t be on every call)

Your site gets traffic, but the signups and demos aren’t following

Sales and marketing aren’t aligned on what the message should be (that’s a nice way of saying they’re at each other’s throats)

You’re posting, launching, and running campaigns, but there’s no real plan tying it together

The gap

Strategy and execution rarely come in one package.

With me you get both.

What I do

Here's how I help

Get clear on your positioning & messaging strategy

I’ll help you nail who you serve, what you do, and why you’re the obvious choice, then turn it into messaging your whole team can use. It’s the foundation for everything else. Fair warning: I won’t let you skip this step.

Get your website working for you

Your website should do the explaining before the sales call does. I’ll map the strategy, write the pages, and even tighten your signup and demo flows so the right visitors take the next step.

Get (and stay) in front of the right people

From launches and campaigns to founder-led content on LinkedIn, I’ll make sure your story shows up where your buyers are. For SEO, paid, and design, I set the direction and bring in trusted specialists to execute.
