Furqan T.
SaaS Growth Marketer | ex-CMO | PLG & Inbound | HubSpot Certified
Over the past 10+ years I've served as CMO, Senior Marketing Manager, and growth consultant for 12+ companies — from early-stage SaaS startups to established tech brands, including 3 years as Digital Marketing Lead at PureVPN. A few things I've led: — Joined a bootstrapped US marketing agency as founding marketing hire and helped take it from a standing start to a sustainable, profitable business within two years — Led organic growth as CMO for a SaaS business, where customer acquisition meaningfully accelerated within the first year — no paid spend — Helped an interactive fitness platform acquire its earliest cohort of members within a tight two-month launch window — Contributed to early development of an AI marketing assistant SaaS and a food ordering app MVP — Held CMO roles across two companies, owning strategy, team, and full accountability My core focus is the full SaaS funnel: bringing in the right users through SEO and content, activating them with smart onboarding and email automation, and scaling what works with paid acquisition. I build systems, not one-off campaigns. What I can own for your business: — Full-funnel SaaS growth strategy (acquisition → activation → retention) — SEO-driven content marketing and topical authority building — Email automation and lifecycle marketing (HubSpot, Intercom, Active Campaign) — PLG onboarding flows and free-to-paid conversion optimization — Paid acquisition on Meta, Google, TikTok, and Vibe — SaaS marketplace presence (G2, Capterra, Product Hunt) with review strategy If you're not sure exactly what you need yet, that's fine too — happy to start with a quick call to figure out where the highest-leverage work actually is. Message me and I'll usually respond within a few hours.
