You know your product is great. Your story just isn't landing yet.

I've been the first marketing hire at multiple startups. Now I help early-stage founders and SMBs turn what's stuck in their head into a story that sells — and a content engine that scales it.

The Hard Truth
Most founders don't have a marketing problem. They have a messaging problem wearing a marketing costume.

You've got the product. You've got the point of view. You even know your audience. But when it's time to put it on paper — the positioning doc, the website, the LinkedIn post — everything comes out flat, jargony, or just… off.

You don't need another agency running playbooks at you. You need someone who's sat in your exact seat — staring at a blank positioning doc at 11pm wondering why it's so hard to explain something you understand so well.

That's where I come in.

Three machines. One story engine.

I don't hand you a strategy deck and disappear. I build the systems, hand you the keys, and make sure you can run them without me.

🎯

Positioning & Messaging

Get ruthlessly clear on what you are, who it's for, and why anyone should care. I've repositioned companies that went on to raise $25M and grow ARR 5x. The words matter.

📖

Brand & Narrative

Build a story people remember and repeat. I've built founder brands that drove $1M+ in ARR and executive thought leadership programs generating 8M+ impressions on LinkedIn.

🚀

Content That Scales

Organic content strategy that compounds. I've scaled content engines from zero to 650K monthly visitors, grown organic leads 330%, and turned content into the #1 pipeline source.

Who This Is For

Built for builders who are stuck.

You've got the product. You've got the point of view. You just need someone who's done this before to pull it out, shape it, and build the engine around it.

Not lost — stuck. There's a difference. And I know the difference because I've been there.

Brad built my founder brand on LinkedIn, crafting authentic, engaging content that built real industry presence. He also launched and grew my podcast into a go-to source for thought leadership, securing top-tier guests and creating content that resonated. Brad's superpower is brand building & storytelling, and he helped create a content flywheel for Brij driven by this founder brand strategy.

I'm Brad.

I've been the first marketing hire at multiple startups. VP of Marketing at Forage. VP of Demand Gen at Degreed. Head of Marketing at Brij. Director of Content at Pipedrive. I learned marketing by building, breaking, and rebuilding growth engines across 7 companies and 15 years.

I've scaled pipeline from $11M to $40M. Built content engines from zero to 650K monthly visitors. Turned founder LinkedIn accounts into million-dollar revenue channels. I've sat in the same seat you're sitting in.

I built Spectamur because too many founders are drowning in tactics when what they actually need is a story that actually lands and someone who knows how to build the machine around it.

I bring a toolkit of frameworks pressure-tested across 15 years and 7 startups. Not a one-size-fits-all playbook — battle-tested approaches I match to your specific situation. I come in, build the machine, and hand you the keys.

No forms. No funnels. No 47-step nurture sequence. Just a conversation.
