Cold Email
Fractional Growth
Digital PR
Get your research and brand in front of other people's audiences. Mentions, backlinks and guest appearances - through direct outreach.
Developing the research in the first place
Original research is the strongest asset in SEO - and even more so in AEO, where LLMs cite fresh data over recycled opinion. I can conceptualise research reports and run them for you, end to end. At Demand-Genius I built a 6,500-contact outreach universe and ran cold email, LinkedIn and phone outreach to recruit the survey respondents behind their agency research report.
Promoting original research
At Demand-Genius, I used direct outreach to promote original research that got organic mentions from Rand Fishkin (215k followers) and HubSpot.
Booking speaking slots & podcast apperances
Also at Demand-Genius I booked the founder onto podcasts including Edward Sturm's YouTube show (66k subscribers), and landed a speaking slot at Brighton SEO. All unpaid, all from direct outreach.

About Me
Fractional B2B marketer. Working from South East Asia.
How I work
I work remotely from South East Asia - here's what that looks like in practice:
I'll block out days & communicate them to you
In Asia my workday is 4am - midday (UK) - so work you brief at 6pm is done before your morning
Weekly written or Loom update - you'll never chase me for status
£200
Why so cheap?
Because I live in South East Asia, not London. £250 per day, dropping to £200 for longer-term contracts.
£1m
