Yusuf was awesome to work with as a fractional CMO. He was focused on learning our product, market and how we differentiated our offerings to our customers and prospects. He pulled together the resources to help implement brand standards, deploy HubSpot as the designated tool for our sales and marketing efforts and truly became part of the team. He assisted implementing demand generation to boost ARR and identified the personas we should target with marketing efforts. Throughout the engagement, Yusuf provided valuable insights and customized materials for specific target customers.

Historically, on the paid marketing efforts when we increased budget, we were not able to get the linear growth we wanted, but since we brought Antoine we are even able to deliver beyond the rate we were projecting.

It’s difficult to stand up a marketing team in any situation, but particularly with a third party. I’m really glad we were able to utilize the associate-CMO, Brian Graf, because he had all that impact on the business and still delivered consistently.
