Implementing a Comprehensive Marketing Strategy for a Scale-up SaaS Fintech Company
As a marketing leader at a fast-growing SaaS fintech startup, I built the function from the ground up, introducing strategies to support the next stage of growth. With a blank slate, I developed a comprehensive marketing plan focused on four pillars—brand identity, website, content, and automation—to drive scalable growth.

With a blank slate, I developed a comprehensive marketing plan focused on four pillars—brand identity, website, content, and automation—to drive scalable growth.
First, we created a strong, consistent brand identity aligned with the company vision and target personas. We led an inclusive process to define our brand story, personality, visuals, tone, and other elements. This provides a foundation for all marketing initiatives.
Next, we redesigned our website to bring the new brand identity digitally and better speak to our targets. We worked with our web team on architecture, UX, and design to educate visitors, convey our value proposition, and guide users through the sales funnel. We focused on simplicity, intuitive navigation, clear CTAs, and optimisation.
To nurture potential customers, we developed a content strategy and calendar centered around our buyers' pain points and interests. This includes blogs, videos, white papers, and other assets tailored to their journey stages. We promote this content across our website, email, social media, and PR.
Finally, we implemented a marketing automation platform to scale efforts. This enables email marketing, landing pages, lead scoring, CRM integration, reporting, and more.
The coordinated execution across brand, web, content, and automation elevates our marketing to support rapid growth. I'm proud to have built the function from zero and delivered tangible results through strategic programs, providing a strong foundation as we continue scaling.
