Company Summary
Distrobird (SaaS, Sales Engagement & Automation Platform)
Distrobird is a unified sales engagement and automation platform for revenue teams at B2B SaaS, financial services, and technology companies in North America to streamline multi-channel outreach and accelerate deal cycles.
In early 2024, Distrobird prioritized inbound demand generation to compete more effectively in the crowded CRM and MarTech tools categories, focusing on organic acquisition channels.
Engagement Summary
Challenge:
Distrobird had strong outbound sales workflows but lacked a scalable inbound marketing engine. Competing in saturated categories like CRM and sales engagement, they needed visibility, authority, and organic lead flow.
Solution:
As Head of Inbound Marketing & SEO, I owned inbound OKRs and designed growth experiments across SEO, content, community, and events. I built and managed a high-velocity content engine (5 writers + 2 editors) to scale SEO presence and bottom-of-funnel acquisition.
Results:
Ranked for 3,000+ competitive keywords in 3 months, achieved 500K monthly impressions, and drove 5,000 organic clicks within 90 days.
"James built our inbound growth engine from scratch and proved we could win in SEO against far bigger players. His leadership, experimentation, and execution gave us the inbound pipeline foundation we were missing."
