Your B2B technology is complex
(Your messaging shouldn't be)


Headshot of Karen in her home office
If you're a B2B tech founder or marketing leader, this may sound familiar. 

You have a progressive technology that solves a real problem for customers. You know your solution offers massive value, with capabilities that leave competitors in the dust. But your messaging isn't pulling its weight. 

- Prospects don't understand what your solution does or why they should care
- Sales teams struggle to articulate meaningful differentiation 
- Marketing and comms teams work triple-time trying to maintain a consistent narrative across channels

Hey, it happens! Things move fast in tech, and without proper attention your messaging can drift.
 
I'm Karen Hittelman, and I can help. 


From Fortune 100s to fast-moving startups, I help standout tech brands stand out.
​Working as an embedded member of your team,
 I work with B2B tech founders, executives, and marketing teams to: 

- Develop messaging that's meaningful, memorable, and differentiated
- Create simple frameworks that keep speakers, writers, and sales teams on message
- Translate messaging strategy into high-impact communications across websites, marketing assets, sales enablement, investor relations, educational materials, and digital channels

MY PROCESS: Research driven, customer focused.

In our kickoff call, we'll discuss your key objectives for our engagement and how we'll measure success.

From there, I follow a 3-step process: 

1. RESEARCH & DISCOVERY: Jumping in fast, I gather the info I need to understand the unique value you bring to the market. I talk with your experts, review your positioning, study your solution, and check out your competitors. Most importantly, I get to know your customers: What pain were they feeling before? What motivated them to buy? Why'd they choose you? How has their life changed with your solution? What words do they use? 

2. ANALYSIS & PLANNING: Next, l develop a messaging strategy that cuts through the complexities of your solution to reveal clear customer value. What's the most meaningful problem you solve for your customers? What's at stake for them? How do you solve the problem better than anyone else? 

3. EXECUTION & DELIVERY: This is where the strategy comes to life! Drawing on my decades of copywriting experience, I distill the strategy into a Messaging Framework that guides your teams in every piece of copy, content, and communications they write.
