Growth, marketing & digital strategy

Growth strategy, built by someone who's actually built things

I work with businesses that want to grow more deliberately. Go-to-market, positioning, marketing foundations, and the digital channels worth investing in, from someone who has built and scaled growth strategies across industries.

How I help

Three areas, depending on where you're at.

Most teams start with positioning or one channel, and build out the rest once the foundations are right.

  • Go-to-market & positioning

    Working out who you're actually selling to, what makes you worth choosing, and where to focus first.

  • Marketing, content & digital

    Building and scaling the marketing foundations: positioning, content pillars, paid and organic channels, lifecycle and retention work.

  • Fractional growth lead

    Senior growth thinking without a full-time hire. I can support with pitch decks, channel planning, fundraising and partnership strategy, and the connective tissue across the team.

Why me

I've done this from the inside, not just advised on it.

What people say

"Katelyn came in as our marketing contractor at a critical growth point. SWAN's platform helps irrigators save water and improve yields, and Katelyn understood quickly how to communicate that environmental and commercial value to a B2B audience. Not only did she help to build our digital presence and B2B pipeline, but also supported the development of materials that underpinned our US expansion and pre-Series A raise."
