Hi! I'm Talal 👋
I’m a marketer who has over 13 years of experience growing early and growth-stage startups.
As an in-house marketer, I've worked with companies ranging from seed to Series B across content marketing and SEO, product marketing, and growth marketing.
Now, I consult full time.
Here's a quick snapshot of my experience:
Content Strategist @ Optimist: Built content marketing & SEO strategies for SaaS companies like OpenStore, Jack Archer, Stampli, AppFire, and many more.
Marketing Lead @ Stable (YC W20): First marketing hire. Built the marketing function from scratch and doubled ARR in less than a year.
Marketing Lead @ On Deck: Drove over $5 million in revenue for On Deck's cohort based programs & worked on key launches across the company (like ODX, a YC competitor that got 20k applications & 360 investments in 6 months).
Chief Content Officer @ ProPakistani: First employee. Led growth from 1 million to 17 million page views per month, increased revenue by 11x, and grew headcount from 1 to 45.
Content Manager @ GSM Nation: Fifth employee. Wore a lot of hats as employee #5 (content, SEO, operations) until the company was acquired.
I started consulting full-time in 2024 and help companies (mostly B2B SaaS) drive revenue with content, SEO, and product marketing.
Founders and marketing leaders mostly bring me on when they need a senior IC who can deliver immediate value and can handle strategy and execute in the trenches with them.
Get in touch with me on Linkedin or book a call if you're interested in working together.
