When you're a marketing lead and the stakes are high, you need your marketing to work — it needs to book calls and close deals. But we're spending thousands on inefficient marketing channels with diminishing returns.
I'm Matthew Proctor, CEO and Founder of Narrative Bent.
We have an unprecedented opportunity to cut out the ad platforms, go direct to our customers, and earn their attention — to earn their respect and their money. I started Narrative Bent because I believe there's a better way to do marketing.
I call it "Content-led Growth Marketing."
I've used this approach to do things like:
• grow a proptech startup from Series A to $1B unicorn
• grow a healthtech startup's traffic from 0 to 30K visits/month.
• drive qualified leads to webinars for our fintech and SaaS clients
• go from $0 to 10's of millions in recurring revenue
My team and I help tech startups, B2B, and professional services firms in high stakes industries like real estate, finance, and health build their brands and close more deals through Content-led growth marketing.
Our approach gets you:
1. Consistent qualified leads for your sales team.
2. You build an enduring brand people trust.
3. You cover your bases: SEO, Social Media, PR, Sales — all done!
No other marketing channel has the same impact on your business.
If you want to effectively get your message out there in this attention economy then Content should be the backbone of your strategy. It takes a bit to get going but once its up and running — it delivers.
At one point, I looked back at the money one client had spent with us over 2 years and realized they'd pay all of it back in ONE MONTH!
I want more people to realize that kind of ROI.
This ain't easy. But it works.
Book a call and I'll tell you more about it.
We want to do work we’re proud of, for clients who get it, at organizations we can deliver sizeable ROI for.
You need to educate your customers, win them over, and earn their trust.
You believe marketing needs to deliver revenue as much as reach and influence.
Investing $5K+/month towards growing your business doesn't scare you.
Your sales cycle takes a while and there are multiple stakeholders to win over.
We're a completely remote distributed team with members all over the world. But our roots go deep in Boston, Massachusetts.
