Bottom-of-funnel Content for Growth-Stage B2B SaaS | Content Strategy Vibe Marketer⚡️| Founder @ BOFU.ai

I was an in-house content strategist for over a decade. 
I got amazing results running BOFU programs in-house.
But since becoming a consultant I've been able to:

✅ Increase blog conversions from 6 to 30/mo ~ 5 months
✅ Achieve over two dozen first page rankings for teams 
✅ Take blog conversions from 5% to 30% ~ 90 days
✅ Drive 7-figures in attributable inbound pipeline
✅ Empower content teams to learn BOFU marketing 

When clients come to me they have a very specific goal:
Drive inbound leads, sales and customers from their blog 

But they're usually running into the following problems:
❌ Too much (or only) top-of-funnel content on the blog 
❌  Seeing an increase in traffic but not leads 
❌  Most of the leads are coming from paid ads vs oragnic
❌  Their content team is lean and limited on resources 
❌  Content and SEO agencies aren’t delivering
❌  In-house writers have knowledge gaps about BOFU 
❌  Not able to clearly attribute content to pipeline 

Here's how I help content teams:
- Creating a bottom-of-funnel comparison page strategy 
- Showing clear content to pipeline attribution 

If you’re a VP of Marketing or Marketing lead and you’re facing one or more of these problems: 

- Producing content there’s a lack of strategy and direction
- Not seeing attributable inbound signups from blogs
- Working with SEO agencies but not seeing inbound leads
- No or limited inbound leads coming from the blog  
- You or your team's knowledge of BOFU is limited 

I'm here to help you out. 

Let's talk!

BOFU.ai is officially open and taking users. 

Below I’ve done a quick demo walkthrough that I said in the beginning would be 2 min. 

Spoiler: It’s not 2 min because even in 2026 I can’t get any video under 2 minutes apparently. 

Some capabilities include:

Feature capability extraction
Documentation upload
Image editing

There are only two prerequisites to signing up:
1. You must be a SaaS company so BOFU can run through your product.

2. You must have some sort of account for BOFU to use (like a demo or dummy account) 

This has been a long time coming with lots of lessons learned. 

We’re excited to welcome you in and are ready for feedback to make this the best product we can.

Founder @ BOFU.ai | Bottom-of-funnel Content for Growth-Stage B2B SaaS | The BOFU Queen

Head of Content @ LASSO | Co-host of That's Marketing, Baby | Delivering daily cheat codes for small content teams

I'm a creative director turned content marketer and strategist with more than 20 years of experience conceptualizing and executing breakthrough work for B2C brands like Eggo, Rice Krispies, Blue Cross, Cottonelle, and McDonald’s, and B2B brands like Fastly and Island.

I have a knack for leading cross-functional teams toward a common goal, bringing order to the oft-chaotic creative process, crafting insight-driven global campaigns, and bringing stories to life via long- and short-form content.

I found this random tool online that lets you create videos that look like they're breaking through your LinkedIn feed.
 
Cost me $40.
 
Figured, what the hell. Let's try it.
 
So I made this little video ad of our ghosties lounging in a pool with a unicorn floaty that "breaks through" the bottom of the post and floats across your feed.

And people 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴.
 
The comments weren't about our product. They weren't even really about the message.
 
They were about the ad itself:
• "Ok, the unicorn floating out of the post got my attention... very clever!"
• "Broke my brain in the best way!"
• "I am HERE for that unicorn!"

Which is either a total failure or the most successful awareness ad we've ever run, depending on how you look at it.
 
But with:
• 100k+ impressions
• 6-second dwell time
• 2.6% CTR
• 3% engagement rate
... I'm going with the latter.
 
I think about this ad a lot when people talk about needing huge budgets to do "creative" B2B ads.
 
The tool was $40. The video took maybe an hour to put together. The ad spend was $5k over the summer.

And it's still one of our most memorable ads.
 
All while companies out there spend $50k on a single piece of "premium" content that looks exactly like everyone else's premium content and performs exactly how you'd expect: meh.
 
What if you just tried something weird instead?

Here's what's keeping me up at night lately:
 
All the things that put Vector 👻 on the map—the podcast, the bold ad creative, the swag—operated mainly on vibes.

They happened (and worked) because we moved fast, took risks, and didn't overthink it.
 
But now we're growing. Trying to triple what we did last year.
 
Which means we 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 need the stuff that doesn't feel sexy but absolutely matters: processes, documentation, scalable systems, the "grown-up" marketing operations.
 
And I refuse to let building those things kill the magic.
 
Even though I know that's exactly what happens to most B2B brands as they grow.
 
They trade "let's try it" for "let's run it through legal." They trade bold for safe. They trade memorable for committee-approved.
 
I'm determined to figure out a different path.
 
Here's how I'm trying to think about it:
☝️ We can't sacrifice momentum for maturity. We have to figure out how to do both.
✌️ The cool stuff is what gets us noticed. But the systems are what let us capitalize on it.
 
So I'm working on: 
→ Protecting time for experiments (they stay sacred) 
→ Building repeatable frameworks for what's working (so we can do more of it) 
→ Hiring people who get excited by BOTH sides of this equation
 
I think the trick will be to figure out which magical, vibey things work the most, and scale them without diluting them.
 
Still figuring this out. (And will be for the foreseeable future lol) 
But that's what's keeping me up.

When Eric Linssen introduced me to Kelly Arndt, I was on month five of searching for THE demand gen marketer to join the Vector team.

I had a lot of boxes this person needed to check: 
→ Ads expert who could stand up and scale our paid engine
→ Mad scientist who could run Vector for Vector
→ Charismatic ambassador who could share our own use cases with customers and prospects
→ Player coach willing to build in public alongside with the rest of our marketing team
 
I wasn't going to settle. I wanted top 1% talent, and that meant being patient.
 
I interviewed 30+ demand gen marketers. All incredibly talented, some we came thisclose 🤏 to hiring, but they just weren't our person for one reason or another.
 
So when I met Kelly Arndt, I knew I'd hit the jackpot.
 
🎰 He has a content background (WHAT?!) so he gets that story matters as much as performance.
🎰 He's a systems builder and a true believer in compounding incremental growth.
🎰 He has a bias toward action, a penchant for killer dashboards, and an experimental mindset.
🎰 He speaks fluent customer because he is the embodiment of our power users.
 
Kelly starts at Vector today (!!!) owning all things paid and growth. 
 
Six months felt like forever, but good people are always worth the wait.

Here's what I didn't know was coming...

Josh posting "my head of marketing's on vacation, give me your worst ideas" and LinkedIn wholeheartedly accepting the challenge. Hundreds of suggestions. Everyone tagging me. Him hand-coding a website at midnight dedicated to his marketing crimes.
 
All while I'm in a pool in the Caribbean.
 
My mistake? 
Thinking he was joking when he dropped hints about "marketing plans" before I left.
 
His mistake? 
Not realizing I'd have WiFi.
 
The chaos that followed created the Josh & Jess dynamic that's still core to the Vector 👻 brand.
 
In the latest podcast episode of 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱'𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁, we break down:
→ How one joke post turned into one of our our biggest brand moments
→ Why Josh ended up shipping cards from his garage at $5 a pop (karma) 
→ The exact moment he realized marketing is harder than he thought 
→ How this accidental campaign shaped everything we do 
→ Why sometimes the best strategy is just trying something bold
 
People still ask if we planned it. The truth is I had no idea.
 
And somehow that made it perfect.

Raise your hand if you plan on updating your website content this year. 🙋‍♀️
 
(hint, your hand should be up)

The times, they are a-changing. There are SO many new way to get your content to work harder for you: feeding LLMs, creating buzz, handling objections, building trust, creating die-hard fans, and nurturing the 95% who aren't ready to buy just yet.

It's a LOT. 

But just breathe. Here's your first step. 👇
 
Get your ticket to 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗱 — THE event for all things B2B websites — happening February 9–11 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
 
Two full days of workshops (hosted by the amazing peeps below) on the stuff that actually makes B2B websites work:
→ Brand
→ Positioning 
→ Messaging
→ Conversion optimization
 
And, of course, Content — hosted by me!

I'll walk you through Vector's content strategy, page structure, AI processes, and more, so you can see how we turn content consumption into dolla dolla billz.
 
Also, South FL in in February? Big ol' cherry on top.
 
If you are SERIOUS about coming, (like serious, serious) DM me for my half-off promo code.
 
See you in Florida? ☀️

What's one of your Q1 marketing bets that's making you nervous?

Here's mine. 👇

Hey, real quick...
 
Josh and I are doing a LIVE episode of the podcast in T minus 3ish hours—sharing Vector's entire marketing plan for 2026: big rocks, goals, hiring, the whole shebang.
 
Would love for you to be a part of it if you're free at 12 noon ET. (And if you're not, register anyway so you get the recording!)

Hope you can make it! https://lnkd.in/g8GDaSw8

I already have seven conferences lined up on my calendar this year. 😳

Some we're sponsoring.
Some we're going to see and be seen.

But the one I KNOW is going to level up my skills (and confidence) as a newly minted VP of Marketing?

The Exit Five Marketing Leadership Retreat
🌵 March 18-20 in Paradise Valley, AZ

A two-day working session with people who've been running marketing for years and can help me answer some of the questions I'm wrestling with right now:

• How do we keep our brand narrative focused as our team grows?
• What are the next key hires that will continue to propel our growth? 
• How should we adapt if we're not hitting our goals?
• How do we outdo what we did last year?
 
The group is small. The conversations are real. And there's nothing like learning from people who've already made the mistakes you're about to make.
 
There are only 100 spots and it's already half full. So, if you're new to leadership, a seasoned pro, or just want to pressure-test your thinking with other marketing leaders, come join me.
