Work with me

I’ve spent more than ten years in marketing, the last four running it at Blockstream. Now I run Perception, which reads thousands of sources on Bitcoin and digital assets every day. I take on outside work where those two things help: positioning, research, talks and marketing leadership.

01

Narrative & GTM advisory

Bitcoin and digital-asset companies with a launch, a raise or a new market coming up.

  • Positioning and messaging your team can say out loud and the market will repeat
  • A read on how media and the market talk about you today, from Perception data, and what to change
  • A launch or go-to-market plan with the channels and the sequence

Monthly retainer or a fixed project. Calls with your team, written deliverables.

02

Custom Perception research

Funds, exchanges, treasury companies and comms teams that need to know what the market is saying and why.

  • A commissioned report built on the thousands of sources Perception tracks
  • How a narrative is moving, who is driving it, and how your coverage compares to competitors
  • Written by me, with charts you can publish

One-off report or a quarterly read.

03

Speaking & moderation

Conferences, company offsites and investor events.

  • Keynotes on Bitcoin narratives, media data, and what AI does to companies
  • Panel moderation that keeps the conversation honest
  • In English, Spanish or Norwegian

In person or remote.

Hosting a podcast instead? Here’s the guest kit.

04

Fractional CMO

Bitcoin companies that need senior marketing leadership before they can hire it full time.

  • Marketing strategy, team, agencies and pipeline, run by me part time
  • What I did at Blockstream and Xeneta, sized to your stage
  • A hiring plan for the full-time lead when you’re ready

A set number of days a month, ongoing.

Track record

  • Four years leading marketing at Blockstream: Liquid Network, mining, satellite and Blockstream App
  • First growth hire at Xeneta, through growth from 17 to 120 employees
  • Go-to-market for three companies valued at €1.3B entering the Norwegian market
  • Perception data cited by CoinDesk and Cointelegraph

How it works

  1. 01

    A 30-minute call

    You tell me where you are and what’s not working. I tell you honestly whether I’m the right person.

  2. 02

    A short proposal

    Scope, timeline and price on one page.

  3. 03

    We start

    Most work begins with a Perception read of how the market talks about you today.

The fastest way to find out if this fits is a short call.
