How we workTwo sprints. One product marketing system. Built to keep running.
Every engagement follows the same sequence. Foundation first. Then activation. The result is a product marketing system your whole team can run on — not just the founder.
Sprint 1: Build the Fact Base
Before you can scale your story, you need a clear understanding of who you serve, the problem you solve, and why customers choose you over everyone else.
Most companies think they know this. When we dig in, the picture is always more complicated — and more interesting — than what's on the current website.
We extract the knowledge already inside your business, combine it with real customer and competitive intelligence, and turn it into a shared fact base your whole team works from.
What you walk away with:
ICP profiles
Customer insight research
Competitive positioning
Messaging framework
Core narratives
Outcome: Clarity on who you serve, why you win, and how to talk about it. Documented, structured, and ready for your team to use.
Sprint 2: Activate the GTM Playbook
A fact base without activation is just a document. Sprint 2 takes everything built in Sprint 1 and puts it to work across your go-to-market motion.
Your sales team gets the tools to run a consistent conversation without pulling in the founder. Your marketing team gets the briefs and frameworks to produce content that actually reflects your positioning. Your product team gets the customer context they need to build the right thing for the right segment.
What you walk away with:
Sales deck and pitch narrative
One-pager and product collateral
Sales battlecards
Website messaging brief
Launch playbook
Outcome: A go-to-market motion your team can run. Consistently. Without you in every room.
Beyond the sprints
Some clients stop at two sprints. They have what they need and their team takes it from there.
Some keep going.
Product marketing is not a one-time project. Markets shift. Products evolve. New segments emerge. The companies that win are the ones that treat positioning as a living system, not a slide deck from eighteen months ago.
After the sprints, we offer ongoing retainer engagements for clients who want to keep the system current — new product launches, competitive responses, sales enablement, and quarterly positioning reviews.
Retainers are scoped to your needs. Minimum three months.
Priced for where you are.
Fixed pricing based on where your business is at, not how big your budget is. Three weeks per sprint. No guesswork.
Pre-Series A or bootstrapped. You have customers and a product in market but your story still lives in the founder's head. This is where we start.
Series A to B. You have a sales team and a marketing function but messaging is inconsistent across the business. Different people are telling different stories.
Series B and beyond, or a mature business going through a significant transition — new market, new product, repositioning. You need the system rebuilt properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
If your product is in the market and you're in at least one active sales conversation, you're not too early. Sprint One is designed for companies at exactly that stage - where the story exists in the founder's head but hasn't been extracted, documented, or handed to anyone else yet. The earlier you build the system, the less archaeology you'll need to deal with later.
If you're pre-revenue and still finding product-market fit, we're probably not the right fit yet. That work is best done in-house. We've got a guide to help you through the positioning work. Just drop us an email - we’re happy to share a copy. -
No. If you have existing materials - a pitch deck, a website, a positioning document, old customer research - we audit them before the discovery session. Most of the time, there's more to work from than clients expect. We'll tell you what's solid, what's missing, and what needs reworking. Sprint One starts from what exists, not from a blank page.
-
Yes. Sprint Two produces execution assets and configures the automated workflows that keep the system current. Without the fact base from Sprint One, those assets have nothing true to build from. We've seen what happens when companies skip the first principles and go straight to execution. The output is generic, the product positioning is vague, and the content sounds like everyone else.
Sprint One is what makes Sprint Two worth doing. -
No. Sprint One is a complete engagement in its own right. You'll walk away with a fully documented fact base, a structured product marketing workspace, and everything your team needs to start doing good product marketing. Some clients stop there and run the process themselves. Others continue into Sprint Two to build the execution layer and activate the automated workflows. Either way, Sprint One stands alone. No need to commit to the second sprint.
-
No. Most of our clients are outside Sydney. The discovery session runs remotely, and we work across time zones. In-person is available for Sydney-based teams if preferred. We're also happy to travel to be closer to your team, as that's where great insights come from. Travel arrangements are billed separately.
-
Three weeks is long enough to do work that matters and short enough to derisk the decision. The structure came directly from a client who asked us to compress a ten-week engagement into three because he needed to preserve runway while raising his next round. And it worked. We've run the same model thirty-five times since. Three weeks isn't about speed for its own sake. It's about focus. One client. One problem.
-
We work with a small number of clients at any one time. The sprint model is designed around focused delivery with structured checkpoints - not daily hours logged. You're not buying time (we think that's a rip-off). You're buying the output of a three-week sprint with clear deliverables at each checkpoint. Angela oversees every engagement directly.
-
Angela leads every engagement from discovery through to delivery and handover. For specific executional needs - design, technical writing, specialised research - she draws on a trusted network of specialists brought in as needed. You'll always know who is working on what. Angela is the strategic lead and the person accountable for the output. -
Most teams consider three options before they find us.
Hiring an in-house PMM is the right move eventually — but it takes three to six months to recruit, onboard, and ramp someone before they ship anything meaningful. If you're trying to fix positioning or launch something now, that timeline hurts. We get you to a working system first, so your future hire inherits a foundation instead of starting from scratch.
Hiring a strategy consultant gives you a polished deck and a clear point of view. What it rarely gives you is the execution layer — the messaging docs, the workflows, the templates your team actually runs from. We build the strategy and the system together, so it doesn't sit in a slide and gather dust.
Doing it internally works when you have the bandwidth and the distance to see your own product clearly. Most founders and product teams don't — not because they lack the skill, but because they're too close to it. We bring outside eyes and a proven process, then hand everything back so you own it completely.
The other difference is permanence. When an engagement ends, the work stays. -
Strategy feels abstract. We get it.
Here's what exists at the end of each sprint, not as slides but as working documents your team uses.
Sprint One produces a completed fact base, ICP profiles built on real behavioural patterns, a positioning thesis, a messaging map, a competitive analysis, and product architecture documentation. Everything is structured and documented in a way that feeds directly into AI-native workflows.
If you want to see the methodology behind it before committing, the Accidental Product Marketing guide walks through the full process. [Download it here.]
Sprint Two takes that fact base and builds the execution layer — landing page, product one-pager, blog articles, product release checklist. We build each asset around your internal process and refine the full set over three months, with automated workflows running continuously and a quarterly review process so the system stays current.
You'll also leave with an end-to-end documentation of your product marketing process, tailored to your organisation — a clear blueprint of what your team owns, what AI assists with, and what AI handles independently. No black box. Just a system your team can run without us. -
Sprint Two runs for 3 weeks, with 3 months’ support. After that, most clients either continue the GTM engine by bringing it in-house or move to Strategic Advisory - where Angela provides ongoing strategic judgment on what the system is surfacing without the full execution layer underneath it.
The goal is always to get to a point where your team runs the system without us. We'll tell you when you're there. -
By default, we work across Claude, Notion, Slack, Google Workspace, Webflow, HubSpot, Confluence, and Jira - the tools most B2B teams are already running.
We build the workflows, prompt library, skills, and documentation layer that makes AI actually useful for product marketing inside those tools.
If your stack looks different, we adapt. What we bring is the methodology, not a rigid toolset. The thinking transfers regardless of the platform.
