Marketing operator reviewing customer pipeline data

Customer wrangler

Embedded marketer focused on new customers.

An embedded operator measured on pipeline and customers, not activity. Demand gen, lifecycle, and the unglamorous middle of the funnel — owned end-to-end.

What this is

Pipeline ownership on retainer.

A senior marketing operator embedded with your revenue team. They own the demand gen engine, the lifecycle program, and the boring connective tissue between marketing-qualified and sales-accepted — the part that usually leaks money.

One named operator. Direct line to your team. Measured weekly on pipeline contribution, not opens or clicks. Monthly written progress against the customer-acquisition outcomes you agree on at kickoff.

Good fit if

Pipeline is the bottleneck.

  • Demand gen + lifecycle need an owner who closes the loop, not just runs campaigns
  • Your CRM and marketing automation are full of dead-end records nobody actions
  • You ship features but nobody markets them past the launch email
  • You want a marketer measured on pipeline and customers, not opens and clicks

Not a fit if

You need something else.

  • Brand strategy or positioning workshops (different engagement)
  • A one-time campaign sprint (start with Sprint tier instead)
  • Sales enablement-only work without a marketing function
