Newport Beach, CA · Remote · CMO-direct on 3 of 5 accounts
  • Owns $70K+ MRR across 5 B2B SaaS accounts (mid-market through enterprise) in cybersecurity, HR tech, observability, legal tech, and marketing tech.
  • Q1–Q2 2026: 100% KPI attainment both quarters (Q1 review: Exceeds Expectations on all 3 KPIs), 4 upsells, 0 90-day opt-outs.
  • Cybersecurity SaaS (XDR): Comprehensive schema rollout drove +45% MoM organic clicks; BOFU click capture 2× on flat impressions; +469 SERP features.
  • Legal SaaS: Platform-page rebuild and BOFU content wave drove +63% organic sessions, 362 influenced demos (6mo review). Results led the client to end a 3-year incumbent paid media relationship and bring Directive on instead, a $150K engagement the CMO attributed directly to the organic partnership.
  • Creator-tools SaaS turnaround: Inherited an unhappy account early in the engagement, stabilized client trust, expanded into $18K MRR content package. Self-initiated an AI-native audit (929 programmatic pages, 45 hubs) using Claude, now reusable agency methodology.
  • Same account, separate workstream: Foundational technical and schema work, unrelated to the audit, coincided with LLM-referred traffic up 353.5% MoM and organic subscriptions hitting a record 2,548/month, highest since Oct 2024.
  • Piloting Directive's generative-engine optimization approach: retrofitting client content for LLM answer visibility, tracked via Scrunch AI.
