Let's get your story straight

Hey I’m Defne. I help B2B tech startups with their GTM strategy, positioning, and messaging. From there, I put it to work across their website, campaigns, and content.

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 50 times

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

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

You’ve become the bottleneck on too many decisions

The gap

You need CMO-level thinking. And someone who can do the work.

With me, you get both.

What I do

Here's how I help

Diagnose

I look at how you sell today, from positioning and website to pipeline and data, and find where growth actually stalls. It’s rarely where you think.

Decide

Who you’re for, what you’re really competing against, why you win, and how your buyers want to buy. Then messaging your whole team can use. Fair warning: I won’t let you skip this step.

Build the engine

Your website, sales materials, and follow-up all tell the same story and move the right people to the right action. Whether that's getting in touch with sales, creating an account, or whatever the next step is.

Bring it to market

I turn the strategy into campaigns people remember: the big idea, the creative, and the copy, through launch. From product launches, campaigns, outreach, and founder-led content, all built from the same story.

Who I work with

I typically work with PLG and SLG startups, but also dabble in B2C brands.
