What’s my story?
I am a marketing professional and I specialise in growing software products. My experience varies greatly – from being the first marketing hire to running the marketing team of a $40 million company. That experience puts me in a unique position to know what needs to be done from a tactical level and a strategic level.
I have experience in all functional areas of digital marketing, but my expertise is in content marketing and remote team management.
What also makes my experience different is that I have a unique remote-first skillset & a bootstrapped mindset. For the past 5 years, I’ve been working with 100% remote teams and delivering results. I believe remote teams are the teams of the future and my skills are aligned with that.
As a person, I’m a self starter, helpful & loyal. I have a strong professional network and I’m always investing in my personal brand & relationships.
Results include:
- Grew a time tracking software’s revenue from $220,000 ARR to $4mn ARR in 3 years.
- Grew a B2B blog’s traffic from 10k/mo to 90k/mo in 2 years, primarily via search traffic.
- Shaped a B2B product’s online brand that eventually got them customers like Lyft, Eventbrite & Stuart Weitzman.
Here’s what my colleagues say about me:
“Madhav gives clear, concise directions and suggestions while maintaining an approachable personality.”
“There are not many people who will go to the lengths Madhav will to do a great job for you.”
“Madhav was a mentor of mine and I have him to thank for all that I’ve learned and how much I grew.”
“He has a driven approach to marketing that is centred around metrics and data while also incorporating qualitative qualities to his work.”
What is my marketing philosophy?
The three Cs.
What is my expertise?
From a T-shaped perspective, my expertise is in content marketing (SEO, content, email marketing, CRO) & remote team management. Outside of that, my experience has led me to build some useful skills in marketing operations (scaling strategies, building & managing processes & driving project ownership by team members via KPIs). I believe in a remote-first work culture.
