Strategy and content for SaaS business in the age of disruption

To survive and thrive, businesses need a clear idea of who they are, what value they bring to their customers, and a clear plan to communicate that.

An experienced writer for your whole B2B campaign
Hi, I’m Alastair. I can help you with your SaaS marketing challenges. Why do I say that? I’ve worked in marketing and advertising since 2009, and gained experience agency-side and client-side, at global corporations and at SMEs, in B2C and B2B. At my last agency, I spent four years working almost exclusively on tech and SaaS clients: HP, SentinelOne, Aruba Networks, Darktrace, Salesforce, etc.
As a copywriter I learned what makes good content; as a department leader I learned how content works across the stages of a B2B campaign: messaging houses, value propositions, and content strategies in the planning; sales toolkits, long-form and video content, and social campaigns for the execution. A little more about me …
Writing since ‘89; copywriting since ‘13; B2B since ‘19. Here’s some work:
