Digital marketing / Partnerships / Sales Written from inside the work
Digital marketing / Partnerships / Sales

Most companies fund the channel that gets the credit, not the one doing the work.

Search is fragmenting across five answer engines. Attribution stopped telling the truth a while ago. And the channels that quietly drive the most revenue usually have nobody assigned to them.

I write about all three: the digital marketing that fills a pipeline, the partner programs that outperform it, and the handoffs between them where the money disappears. Everything here comes from running the work.

What I write about

Three disciplines. Usually three teams. Almost never one conversation.

01

Digital marketing

SEO turned into a multi-surface visibility problem and most programs are still optimizing for a results page that keeps shrinking. Paid, organic and lifecycle all need judging on contribution, not on last click.

  • AI visibility and citation share
  • Entity and structured data foundations
  • Channel mix and incrementality
  • Reporting a CFO will actually accept
02

Partnerships

Referral, reseller, co-sell and affiliate are four different businesses sharing one word. Picking the wrong one is the most expensive mistake in the discipline, and it usually happens in month one.

  • Program design and model selection
  • Commission structures and timing
  • Enablement partners will actually use
  • Sourced and influenced attribution
03

Sales

Marketing hits its number. Partnerships hits its number. Revenue still misses. The gap is almost always the seam nobody owns between the three.

  • Pipeline definition and stage hygiene
  • Speed to lead and routing
  • Discovery that disqualifies early
  • Forecasts people believe
