SaaS market segmentation is the process of dividing your total addressable market into distinct groups based on shared characteristics, so you can target the right buyers with the right message at the right price point. Done well, it is the difference between a product that grows predictably and one that churns through customers who were…
Apple marketing strategies work because they treat desire as the product, not a byproduct. The company does not sell specifications. It sells a feeling of belonging to something considered, refined, and worth paying more for. That positioning is not accidental, and it is not magic. It is the result of deliberate choices made consistently over…
Hiring a CMO is one of the most consequential decisions a business can make, and one of the most commonly botched. The role sits at the intersection of commercial strategy, brand, performance, and people leadership, and most hiring processes are not built to assess any of those things properly. Done well, a CMO hire accelerates…
Base segmentation is the process of dividing your existing customer base into distinct groups based on shared characteristics, behaviours, or value, so you can allocate resources, tailor messaging, and prioritise growth efforts where they will have the most commercial impact. It is not the same as acquisition segmentation. It starts with people who already buy…

The right set of brand metrics tells you whether your positioning is landing, whether your audience is moving in the right direction, and whether the money you are spending on brand is…

Differentiation is not a one-time decision. It…
Shifted market pricing is the practice of deliberately repositioning your price point in response to meaningful changes in your competitive landscape, customer expectations, or the perceived value of your product. It is not a discount strategy. It is not a promotional tactic. It is a structural pricing decision made when the market has moved and…
A B2B buyer role classification framework is a structured way of identifying and categorising the different people involved in a purchase decision, based on the influence they hold, the function they serve, and the stage at which they enter the process. Done properly, it gives sales and marketing a shared language for understanding who they…
Product marketing and general marketing are not the same discipline wearing different hats. Companies that separate them do so because the work is genuinely different: product marketing sits at the intersection of product, sales, and the market, while general marketing handles reach, awareness, and demand generation. Conflating the two creates a function that does neither…
SaaS customer acquisition strategy is the structured approach a software business uses to identify, attract, and convert the right customers at a cost that makes commercial sense. Done well, it connects your product’s genuine value to the buyers who need it most, through channels that can scale without destroying your unit economics. Most SaaS companies…
