👋  I'm Joe. 

Nine years ago I was the guy who was too shy to speak to people at networking events. Even when I did pluck up the courage, it felt all people valued was my job title or my budget rather than me as a person.

I knew I wanted to meet other marketers and learn about marketing in a safe space, so when I couldn't find it, I made it.

The Marketing Meetup is a positively lovely community for marketers. (Basically, we all look after each other and treat one another as people first 😊)

Through good luck and hard work, in the years since, I (as part of a big team effort!) have built a global community of 50,000+ lovely marketers with a social following of 250k+.

Each week, we're lucky to have amazing guest speakers such as Mark Ritson, Rory Sutherland, Seth Godin and many more share time with our community - educating and connecting us all.

You should join one of our webinars, our membership, or the newsletter: I think you'd get a lot from all of them. 

Some places I have spoken/been a guest on include: 

- Festival of Marketing,
- Innocent Smoothies Internal Sessions,
- Everyone Hates Marketers Podcast with Louis Grenier, 
- The Next Web
- Marketing Week Columnist,
- Fiverr Webinar Series, 
- Ahrefs Podcast
- VeryGoodCopy
- GREENHOUSE Jersey
- SocialDay
- Freelancer Magazine,
- Startup Summit, 
- Marketing News Canada,
- Digital DNA, 
- Moneysupermarket internal inspiration event,
- The Marketing Meetup (of course), 
- Durham University guest lecturer, 
- London College of Fashion guest lecturer, 
- Norwich University of the Arts guest lecturer,
- King's College Marketing Forum Keynote,
- Essex University Incubator guest lecturer 
- Cambridge University Judge Business School panelist, 
- Linkjoy Social Media Summit
- Habitz Podcast with Mike Winnet

And quite a lot of other places/podcasts. By all means get in touch with speaking/podcast ops. Or, just say hello :)

Experiencing stagnant growth? DM me to help reposition your tech startup to attract best-fit customers 🚀 Lowered CAC by 52% for my last startup 🏹 Founder, Positioning @ Tangible Growth

You've built a good product. You're growing. But does it feel harder than it should?

I spent years watching smart SaaS companies stall. Not because of bad products, but because no one was actually owning the growth. Agencies billed hours. Consultants delivered decks. Advisors gave frameworks.

So I do it differently.

I embed inside the team; across marketing, growth, and product. We find what actually moves the needle, build systems around it, and document everything so a successor can run it without losing momentum. I own the $MRR number while I'm in. We don't grow? It's my head on the table. When I leave? The engine stays running.

What this looks like live:
Right now I'm doing this at Aimfox — in public. I post what we try, what moves the MRR, and what doesn't. If you want unfiltered proof of the approach, follow along.

I've been fortunate to learn from and work alongside the best in the industry, including Seth Godin, Brian Tracy, and Philip Kotler, which created the foundation of everything I do with my teams. Helping them gain confidence & clarity on what to build, who to target, and how to win.

This approach has led to:

✔️Aimfox: funnel + onboarding redesign → 0.35% to 2.14% conversion → $200k to 2M ARR in 5 months
✔️ Helped a CEO scale their B2B SaaS from $1M to $3M in < 12 months.
✔️ Helped a management team build a defensible strategy for a B2C tech company scaling from $10M to $30M
✔️ Helped a B2B AI team deliver 10 impressive leads and $4M in pipeline (Accenture, Bridgestone, ERM) proving traction before successfully closing the next round of funding.

Good fit: $3M+ SaaS or AI native company, where growth is the bottleneck, not the product.

With Tangible Growth, I want to help you turn poor positioning symptoms:

➡️ You have some loyal customers, but new clients don’t know what you do
➡️ You have long sales processes, low conversion rates
➡️ Clients object your prices.

💥 Get more high-quality leads at a lower cost
💥 Convert more leads into clients
💥 Charge more
💥 Increase your product's lifetime value
💥 Grow sustainably!

Send me an email to grow@apersolja.com and let's nail your positioning.

Google and Meta are lying to you. 

The reality is that advertising today is a black box, much like the AI one. 

You are feeding money into Google, Meta, you get back users. What happens in between? Who knows. 

The reality is that iOS doesn't provide click data anymore, gdpr is blocking tracking in Europe, cookie blockers do the rest. 

So Google, Meta are actually collecting data from about 30% of the actual conversions, says Yann A. Skaalen, founder of Digtective. 

So they run on 30% of data. If that sample is big enough (if you are an enterprise compamy), you are probably ok.

But in $10M scaleups? The 30% simply isn't enough, so Google, Meta are working based on bad data. And with advertising... What you put in is what you get out. Put in 💩, yourl get out poo. 

How to solve that?

Fractional Growth (CMO/CGO) | Growing Aimfox | 🏂 Fan of snowboarding, motorsports & rock concerts.

During my longest fractional CMO tenure, there was 1 topic that always popped into our meetings: 

How many new leads are we generating this month?

Yet through analysis we found that sales had more MQLs to deal with than they could handle (while keeping the quality up).

This might be controversial, but… in most companies… Generating leads isn’t the problem.

When doing audits in companies, we typically find leads that got lost in the process. ($400k worth of them in with the last client). 

And they got lost in the process because the company had clear KPIs for acquisition. But once a prospect was in the pipeline? That’s where the lines between marketing and sales got blurry. And despite ownership was clearly defined, the clients weren’t pushed further in the pipeline.

Where is your bucket leaking?

What's preventing you from forecasting your sales?

A healthy funnel / user journey is the first step  in your growth going on 🔥

At my last fractional CMO tenure, we went from 0% to 37% conversion rate in the PLG funnel. Delivered Accenture, ERM, Bridgestone as leads. 

With Aimfox, the first thing I did was to collaborate with product to redesign the funnel. Went from 0.35% to 2.14% website visitor to paying user. 

7X the conversion rate. 
7X the revenue. 
Want to scale? 

Fix that funnel.

Send to founders that need to hear this or save for later.
