About me

Strategy, messaging, content

I’m Defne Gencler, a copywriter and strategist who works with B2B tech companies and startups on their positioning and messaging, and bring it to life on their website and LinkedIn.

The story

10+ years of making technical products sound... kinda cool??

I’m the person you call when you have a great product, but you don’t have the right story for it.

I’ll work with you to find that story, make sure it shows up clearly on your website, and then take it to your prospects on LinkedIn. One person, one thread, from positioning to pipeline, so the story you tell is the story they hear.

A bit about me

I've been translating across cultures my entire life.

I grew up with Turkish descent in the Netherlands. I've lived in California and New York, and now back to the Netherlands again. I've been to public schools and private ones. Corporate, startup, and artistic environments. People with very different values and beliefs.

All of it taught me how to read a room. And a market. I can figure out what makes a product different, and find the narrative that makes the right person lean in. That's what I do every day, and I feel privileged to do it.

  • ·Understanding the nuances of a new industry or market
  • ·Spotting what makes a product different from everything else out there
  • ·Bringing that to life in a narrative the right person will understand

Who I work with

B2B and B2C, across industries

I've worked across B2B SaaS, AI, and professional services, as well as B2C consumer brands. The common thread: ideas that need hard-hitting stories.
