Content Strategist & Writer | Helping B2B SaaS brands build a content engine that generates product sign-ups and demos through original research

As head of marketing at a B2B SaaS brand, you know your content isn’t yet achieving its full potential in support of your company’s marketing goals. 

Most prospects aren’t resonating with your brand for 3 reasons:

1. Your content isn’t telling your client how you solve their problem 
2. Your content isn’t creating or capturing demand for your product
3. Your content isn’t original - and doesn’t align with your brand 

If you’re looking to fix this and bring in more MQLs, I can help. 

After working together, my clients feel confident about using content to increase product sign-ups and improve deal velocity.

"Tanaaz brings a rare mix of strategic and tactical execution to her content work. We've been working with Tanaaz at Content Camel for months now—after an exhaustive search for the best writers and content creators—and her work really stands out.

• Tanaaz brings a really structured approach to the work and is always on time, and on point. It helps keep us on track on our side as well.
• Tanaaz brings creative suggestions and real insight to her work. We've helped refine our content briefs and workflow based on our collaboration
• Tanaaz executes beyond our expectations - does an awesome job sourcing industry expert input and expanding upon our briefs."

— Dave Shanley, Founder, Content Camel

I have 7+ years of writing experience—more than half of which was spent in the B2B SaaS space, writing and creating content that resonates with the target audience. 

That’s how more than 200 of my blog posts have ranked for their target keywords on Google's top 10 results in 2022/23.

If there is one thing I’ve learned through all my years as a content marketer, it’s that the real power of content is when your audience transforms from "We have no idea how this company can solve our problem" to "We know exactly how they can help me.” 

Strategic content makes your company visible, teaches buyers that you are the go-to resource on topics you’re an expert in, and clarifies that your product does what it says it does. 

Let’s work together and make this possible for your B2B SaaS company.

Here’s how I’ll get the job done: 

→ Research your ideal audience and ICP 
→ Establish internal alignment within your GTM team
→ Develop a channel-agnostic topic cluster strategy 
→ Set up a content production and distribution system
→ Create high-quality content based on original research (surveys, SME interviews)

Services: 

✅ Content strategy 
✅ Content writing
✅ Content management

Recourse was on a mission to empower companies and individuals to achieve maximum productivity, by giving them access to years of aggregated knowledge and research as the building blocks of success.

I don't make the rules. 

✨ Today's post is brought to you by questionable life choices.✨

"Not actually a marketer," apparently. I help SaaS companies connect the dots in a way that even gets engineers excited about marketing.

An image of a bingo sheet, titled "a completely impractical marketer's drunk bingo - linkedin fun edition"

Most SaaS companies hit multiple growth plateaus during their lifecycle, yet we almost never talk about them.

Plateaus (besides being a horrible word for a dyslexic 💀) are a natural part of every SaaS company’s lifecycle. Yet, they’re treated more like a personal failure of the CEO or a mysterious sickness afflicting the audience, instead of a product-market signal.

They can be a real handicap or a great opportunity. It depends on how you handle them.

𝗧𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿, 𝗜’𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲.

I'm talking about the stagnation (or slow decline) in any key metric relevant to company growth. 

Roughly, I classify growth plateaus into 4 buckets:

1️⃣ Acquisition plateau
You grew on the back of a few early channels… that are now zombie-fying. They still cost time/money, but no longer move the needle.

2️⃣ Activation plateau
Intake is fine, trials are coming in… and then people bounce before they even experience the value.

3️⃣ Retention plateau
Customers use you… until they quietly don’t. No lifecycle flows, no education, no reason to build deeper habits.

4️⃣ Loss of PMF
The hardest pill: you’re no longer the obvious pick for the same audience/problem. The market moved, but your positioning didn’t.

So what do you do? You don’t guess. You audit.

𝗦𝗰𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹, 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝗱:
Think both strategically (which direction we focus on?) and operationally (what do we actually change on Monday?)

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

• Acquisition → kill zombie channels, double down on the ones with provable CAC + intent

• Activation → tear down onboarding, simplify ruthlessly, or even start “bare” and add back only what helps people reach first value faster

• Retention → build lifecycle flows, surface underused features, give people reasons to come back before they drift

• Loss of PMF → go back to audience research, refine who you’re really for, and reposition accordingly.

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻? Start with baby steps:

1. Map the full buyer journey
2. Define a few micro conversions (clicked X, tried Y, invited Z) and macro conversions (activated, expanded, renewed)
3. Track them over a month or a quarter to get enough signal to be statistically useful.

*PS I worked extra hard to make this wall of text as digestible as possible for fellow dyslexics. Please stop hating on text formatting. Some of us depend on it. 🥲
