When to bring me in

Marketing needs someone to own the whole picture.

You may already have campaigns, content, a marketer or an agency. The missing piece is someone who connects the work to your commercial priorities.

I help decide what matters, align the people involved and move the agreed work forward, with a clear link between marketing, sales and product.

Does this sound familiar?

  • The founder or CEO still makes most marketing decisions.
  • Your product is strong, but its value is difficult to explain.
  • Campaigns and content exist, but qualified enquiries are inconsistent.
  • Your marketer, freelancers or agency need senior direction.
  • You need someone who can lead the work and execute.

Why Bo Ekkelund

Experience from inside software businesses.

I have worked as Head of Marketing, CMO, founder and consultant across B2B software and technology, including MarketingPlatform, VirtuGO, Excitor, SoftScan, NinjaMock and Airtame.

That means understanding the product, deciding how to bring it to market and doing the work needed to reach and convert the right buyers.

More about my experience

Leadership with practical delivery

You work directly with me on priorities, decisions and execution. I connect the marketing plan with your sales process and product expertise.

Where the work needs specialist design, development or other expertise, I can brief and coordinate external partners within an agreed scope and budget.

One experienced person keeping the agreed marketing work connected and moving.

What I take responsibility for

A connected marketing function.

We focus on the areas that matter most to your business, with responsibilities and delivery matched to the engagement we agree.

Direction

Clear positioning, target customers, go-to-market priorities and a practical marketing plan.

Demand

Relevant visibility and buyer interest through the right mix of content, SEO, campaigns, PR and email.

Conversion

A stronger website, customer proof, lead journeys and sales materials that help buyers take the next step.

Measurement

CRM, reporting and marketing operations that help you understand progress and make better decisions.

The first 90 days

A clear start. A practical plan. Consistent delivery.

Weeks 1-2

Understand the business

Is this a good fit?

Built for B2B software, SaaS and IT businesses.

Particularly relevant when your product takes explanation, your buyers take time to decide and marketing needs to work closely with sales.

You may already have a marketer, agency or freelancers. You need senior direction, practical involvement and someone to coordinate the agreed work.

A different setup may suit you better if...

  • You only need regular social media posts.
  • Your main need is high-volume consumer advertising.
  • You need a full creative production team.
  • You are looking for low-cost execution of already-defined tasks.
AI in the work

Useful tools, applied to real marketing tasks.

I use AI where it improves research, content operations, sales preparation and reporting.

The focus is practical: less repetitive work, better preparation and more time for decisions and execution.

Sources, outputs and recommendations still need experienced human judgement.

Where AI can add value

  • Market and competitor research
  • SEO and content analysis
  • Sales account preparation
  • Content operations and repurposing
  • Reporting and data analysis
  • Workflow and marketing automation
Start with clarity
