Rick N.

Driving Growth Through Product Marketing Execution and Content Strategy

With multiple engagements as the first product marketer in established B2B companies, Rick has deep practical experience in all aspects of SaaS product and content marketing strategy and execution.

He's available to help in two fundamental engagement scenarios: (a) to build and/or scale the product marketing function to embrace foundations that the entire GTM organization leverages w/r/t positioning, messaging and content strategy – and (b) to take on specific projects or initiatives in building/validating positioning and messaging strategy, to create thought leadership and research-centric content, and to build or scale sales enablement content and training.

Rick is particularly focused on helping organizations proactively navigate the changing content strategy landscape to embrace how content is created, found and consumed in the age of AI.
