What does Marketing Mercenaries do?
We provide marketing strategy and hands-on execution for security, AI, infrastructure, and technical B2B companies. Engagements include paid diagnostics, defined strategic sprints, and embedded leadership. The work connects research, positioning, launches, content, and sales enablement.
Do you handle both 0-to-1 builds and 1-to-10 growth?
Yes. A 0-to-1 engagement builds missing positioning, a category narrative, launch foundations, or a GTM system. A 1-to-10 engagement repairs and scales existing work, strengthens processes, and uses ongoing market intelligence and performance data to guide improvements.
What does a paid GTM Diagnostic include?
The core scope covers one defined GTM problem, a primary audience, one core web journey, an agreed set of existing materials, and a scoped competitive review. You receive a root-cause diagnosis, evidence and constraint map, scorecard, annotated teardown, prioritized action plan, and live readout.
How much does a GTM Diagnostic cost?
Each diagnostic is priced after a complimentary fit and scoping call. The fee and delivery schedule reflect technical complexity, available evidence, stakeholder access, audiences, and business units. Both are agreed before paid work begins.
Does the diagnostic include implementation or customer interviews?
No. New customer research, finished messaging, website copy, campaign creation, and implementation are separately scoped. The diagnostic is useful on its own and does not require a follow-on engagement.
Can you work alongside our existing team or agency?
Yes. Embedded GTM leadership can complement founders, a CMO, product marketing, content, sales, or agency teams. We agree on decision rights, deliverables, collaboration points, and success measures. Fractional product marketing is one way to structure that support.
Do you use AI, and who owns the final work?
Yes. I use AI-assisted research, synthesis, storyboarding, animation concepts, and production workflows where appropriate. I lead the engagement, validate sources and claims, and review final outputs. Client-approved tooling and handling rules are agreed before confidential material is used.
Do you only work with cybersecurity companies?
No. Security is a core specialty, but my experience also spans identity, fraud, mobile testing, networking, AI, and technical infrastructure. Technical complexity and the GTM problem matter more than the category label.
