I’ve cracked the nut on exactly what early stage startups need help with from a marketing and business perspective, and I wanted to share it with you in this episode. I built a systematic approach, and what’s cool is I can use the system I’ve built over and over in many different contexts.

For example:

client work
GrowthMentor calls
friend calls
VC calls
accelerator workshops
EdTech GTM bootcamp sessions
high school presentations (yep, I’ve done this a couple times too)

I always wanted to “productize” my knowledge. So now I’ve got a product and it's called Marketing as a System (MaaS). I just want more early stage startups to apply this system as they're building their companies. Because the results will be MaaSive. Yea. I did that.

Here is MaaS in a nutshell:

Voice of customer research
Marketing foundation deck
Keyword research
Brand/design guide
Mood boards
Homepage wireframe with copy
Homepage design
Other website pages
Case studies
GTM strategy
GTM execution

In this episode, I dive into each part of the system.
