Apse
Growth Content Operator · B2B SaaS
Building content systems that drive organic growth & pipeline
✦ Available for hire ✦

I'm a B2B SaaS content marketing leader with a track record of building content systems that connect SEO and AI optimization, product storytelling, and demand generation into measurable pipeline. At Tripleseat, I owned content strategy end-to-end — from SEO architecture and editorial planning to product launches, gated ebooks, case studies, and in-product messaging.

What makes my approach different is that I don't think in individual pieces — I build systems. Repeatable workflows, scalable frameworks, AI-assisted production pipelines, and optimization loops that compound in value over time. I did this as the sole content person on a 14-person marketing team — which means I've owned strategy and execution simultaneously, not one or the other. I'm looking for my next challenge: a Content Marketing Manager or Growth Content Manager role where I can bring that same systems-thinking and hands-on execution to a team ready to scale.

My perspective on AI-era content marketing

The companies that win won't be the ones producing the most content. They'll be the ones producing the most useful content — and knowing the difference.

📉
Quality over volume
AI lowered the cost of creation. Expertise, originality, and business impact are now the real differentiators.
🧠
Human expertise wins
AI can draft and summarize. It can't replace customer empathy, strategic judgment, or the insight that builds real trust.
AI creates leverage
Eliminate repetitive tasks. Free teams for strategy, storytelling, and optimization. AI is a force multiplier, not a replacement.
🔍
SEO + AEO converging
Buyers find answers through AI search, not just Google. Content must be authoritative, structured, and optimized for both.
📈
Content = growth engine
Not a publishing function. A growth function — driving visibility, demand, and pipeline that compounds over time.
