Questions founders actually ask.

HG Digital does product marketing for founders of product companies, before the first PMM hire. We decide who the product is for, what it replaces, and why it wins, then ship the work that carries that decision, from the positioning and the messaging to the launch, the sales enablement, and the deck, page, and battlecard a rep uses on Tuesday. You stop being the only person who can tell the story. We do the product marketing. You build the company.

If you sell something that has to be explained, somebody has to decide who it's for, what it replaces, and why it wins, then make sure the deck, the site, and the sales call all say it. That job is product marketing, whether or not anyone has the title. Early on it sits with the founder. The signs it needs an owner are familiar. You're still the only person who can explain the product well, every launch starts from a blank page, and every rep tells the pitch a little differently. Eventually that owner is a product marketer of your own. Until the seat is open, HG Digital can own the work and build what your first product marketer inherits.

A fractional CMO owns marketing as a whole, meaning the plan, the budget, the channels, and the team, for a slice of the week. Product marketing owns the story of the product. Who it's for, what it replaces, why it wins, how it launches, and how the sales team says it. The two fit together, and each does what it was built to do. A marketing plan works better on top of a decided story. At an early-stage company, though, the positioning, the launch, and the enablement usually land back on the founder, because the CMO's job sits above them.

A fractional CMO owns the marketing plan and usually hands the positioning, the launch, and the enablement to someone else to produce. At your size that someone is you. HG Digital owns those pieces and ships them. The positioning becomes the deck, the page, and the talk track, so the decision and the output stay attached.

Most agencies get paid to produce activity, so they produce a lot of it. HG Digital decides what the company says before anything gets made, then makes the artifacts that carry it, to one written standard. You can make anything now, and the tools will never tell you the thing you asked for was the wrong thing. Deciding the story is the job.

You absolutely can, and eventually you should, with a product marketer of your own. The question is what happens before that seat is filled. Right now the story lives with you, and every new rep, page, and deck is a fresh translation of it. We decide it with you, write it down, and build the function your first product marketer inherits.

When the story is decided and there's enough launch and enablement work to fill a seat. A first product marketer does their best work inheriting a decided position, a messaging house, and a launch plan, and building from there. HG Digital builds what they inherit. When the seat opens, we'll help you write the job description and hand the work over.

Ghost motion is marketing activity that looks real and isn't carrying a message anyone decided on. The deck got made, the site got rewritten twice, and the posts go out, but the deck, the site, and the sales call each describe the company a little differently. It builds up because every busy team presses the figure-it-out-later button and starts making things before anyone decides the story. You can't reproduce what you can't explain.

With a First Build. We build the first thing before you pay for anything. You name one artifact you need in the next thirty days, like a positioning and messaging one-pager, a battlecard, or a section of a launch kit, and we make it for your business, to the same standard a paying client gets. You judge the work instead of our claims.

Nothing. The GTM Signal Check is free because the value of the work that comes after it is significant. It takes about sixty minutes and you walk away with a read on where the system is, whether or not you ever engage further.

Founders of product companies where the product is ahead of the story. That usually means software, a tech-enabled business, or a productized service, somewhere between Seed and Series B, with no product marketer in seat yet. If you sell something that has to be explained and three people explain it three ways, the work applies.

Founders and revenue leaders at product companies, plus the marketing leads working next to them. The founder who is still the only person who can explain the product well. The revenue leader whose reps are telling four versions of the pitch. The head of marketing who owns positioning on top of everything else. The common thread is a company where nobody owns the story yet.

Yes. HG Digital owns the product marketing end to end, from the positioning to the artifacts that carry it, and brings in trusted partners when a job calls for deeper execution in their lane. Demand Frontier handles AI-powered B2B marketing execution that turns strategy into measurable pipeline. Heroic Rankings handles data-driven SEO and authority building that turns search visibility into durable organic growth. The story and the accountability stay with HG Digital. The specialists extend the work where focused execution earns it.

Every receipt comes from Eric's prior roles, and each one proves something specific. The commercial narrative and sales enablement he built at CallRevu contributed to 21% pipeline growth. At Notified, a book of 168 accounts and $50M in ARR held a 100% renewal rate and an 89 NPS, a customer success result that shows the message held after the sale. At Bulldog, a webinar-services business grew from $500K to $5.5M. Nearly 20 years across product, sales, and customer seats sit behind them. None of these is an HG client result, and we won't dress one up. The First Build is how you judge the work instead.

It builds. A positioning workshop ends with a framework doc. HG Digital ends with the deck, the page, the launch kit, and the talk track, all carrying a story you decided together, so what gets handed back is a function your team can run and your first product marketer can inherit.
