Diagnosing and Researching
I analyze your business challenge and research the market, customers, and competitors. Depending on data availability, research may rely on internal sources, external sources, or a combination of both.
Defining your ICP
I collect data to define your best customers, their business, pain, and dream state. Understanding their decision-making process, switching behavior, and objections helps in creating effective product messaging.
Crafting a product messaging framework
I develop a product messaging framework that includes a positioning statement (elevator pitch), key messages (benefits), and a set of product features with proof points for each key message.
Implementing
I provide detailed recommendations on how to implement the framework in your marketing, sales enablement and packaging. I can also write end-user copy.
Revenue Check-in
Within 2-4 months of implementation I offer a free 1hr check in to review performance and recommend further optimization tips.
FAQ
How are you better/ different than competitors?
My specialty is diagnosing business problems and building product positioning that supports business goals. Unlike most Product Marketing Managers (PMMs), who rely on generic best practices, I use data from multiple sources to create tailored solutions, including effective product messaging.

I had the pleasure of working with Artem during a critical phase of defining our Go-To-Market strategy for both talent and companies. Artem's ability to clearly articulate the strategy and provide actionable insights to improve our user journey was a key component of our success. He played a key role in adjusting our product for better conversion by focusing on optimizing every step of the user experience.
What sets Artem apart is his strong emphasis on funnel analysis and his commitment to making decisions based on data rather than intuition. His approach consistently drove meaningful improvements, and his contributions were pivotal in helping us refine our product and increase conversion rates.
I highly recommend Artem for any product marketing role where a data-driven, strategic, and user-focused mindset is crucial.

Founders looking for a strategic thought partner in product marketing - Artem is your guy! Entering a new market, we were looking to clarify and tune our positioning to improve the performance of our marketplace and marketing channels. Artem did an excellent job exploring multiple data sources - product data, secondary research, customer interviews, and a survey. He delivered a new messaging framework and built a detailed product marketing guide for our team. Artem's work gave guidance and confidence to our marketing communications and product teams to move forward with greater insights!
