About

B2B marketing, grounded in customers, markets and data.

I’m Elsa, a B2B SaaS marketing professional based in Porto. My experience spans demand generation, account-based marketing, campaign strategy, customer insights and marketing analytics — turning market understanding into focused marketing activity and measurable growth.

How I think about marketing

Good marketing starts with understanding who you are trying to reach, what matters to them and where the business can create value. I look at the market, the audience and the data before deciding where to focus, what to communicate and how to measure success.

For me, strategy is about making better choices — not simply doing more marketing. The strongest campaigns connect customer needs, business objectives and the right channels, with clear priorities and a way to understand what is working.

My career started in marketing, with a degree in Marketing and early experience across branding, communication, digital and campaigns. I later moved into B2B SaaS, where I developed deeper experience in demand generation, account-based marketing, customer research and data-driven marketing. Today, I bring these perspectives together to approach marketing with both customer understanding and commercial awareness.

Selected Campaigns & Projects

A selection of B2B marketing projects across demand generation, ABM, campaign strategy, market research and positioning. Some details are kept general to respect confidentiality.

01

Market Prioritisation & Demand Generation

Creating focused demand across markets through better segmentation and prioritisation

The challenge

A B2B technology business was pursuing growth across markets with different levels of maturity. The task was to create a consistent approach without treating every market, audience or opportunity as the same.

The strategic question

Where should marketing focus its efforts, and what needed to change by market to make campaigns more relevant to each audience?

My contribution

I combined campaign, CRM and market signals to identify higher-potential segments. I refined ICP considerations, audience priorities and messaging direction, then translated these insights into more focused campaigns across markets.

Tools

Amplemarket · HubSpot · Salesforce · Power BI · Monday · Seismic · Claude · ChatGPT

Impact

Increased lead generation by 20% over six months by replacing broad activity with more focused market and segment priorities.

02

Lead Generation & Lead Quality Optimisation

Improving lead quality without sacrificing volume

Objective

Improve lead quality and conversion by refining targeting, qualification criteria and customer journeys.

Context

The business generated a healthy volume of leads, but many failed to progress through the funnel. Different qualification criteria were creating gaps between lead generation and conversion.

Approach

I reviewed targeting, qualification criteria and conversion paths to identify where lead quality was being lost. We refined audience criteria and improved the journey from initial interest through qualification.

Measurement

Performance was measured through lead quality, conversion rates and progression through the pipeline rather than lead volume alone.

Reflection

This experience taught me that generating more leads is not always the answer. The real challenge is generating the right leads. Clear qualification criteria often have a greater impact than simply increasing campaign activity.

Impact

+5% conversion rate and improved lead quality across the funnel.

03

Lead Generation & Market Prioritisation

Increasing lead generation through better segmentation and market focus

Objective

Improve lead generation by focusing resources on the markets and segments with the strongest potential.

Context

Lead volume was below expectations and marketing efforts were spread across multiple audiences. The challenge was understanding where demand existed and where resources would have the greatest impact.

Strategy

I analysed campaign performance, customer data and market behaviour to identify higher-potential segments. From there, I refined ICP definitions, adjusted targeting and aligned priorities across teams to focus on the opportunities most likely to convert.

Measurement

Success was measured through lead volume, engagement and overall campaign contribution to pipeline generation.

Reflection

This project reinforced how important prioritisation is. Growth rarely comes from doing more of everything. It comes from focusing effort where customer fit and business opportunity overlap.

Impact

+20% increase in lead generation over six months.

Tools & workflow

HubSpot · Salesforce · Power BI · Monday · Seismic. I combined campaign and CRM data to guide prioritisation, used Power BI to make performance patterns easier to discuss, and coordinated execution and sales assets across the team.

Partner Marketing & Enablement

Helping partners communicate a shared value proposition and support partner-led growth

Objective

Increase partner engagement and support channel growth through positioning, communication and enablement.

Context

Partners play a key role in growth, but they need to understand the value proposition quickly and feel confident communicating it to their own customers.

Approach

I developed enablement materials, contributed to partner recruitment initiatives and supported joint marketing activities. The focus was helping partners understand the value proposition and communicate it confidently to their customers.

Reflection

Working with partners reinforced an idea I still apply today: a message is only truly ready when other people can repeat it and communicate it with confidence.

Brand Repositioning Campaign

Using positioning to create differentiation in a competitive market

Objective

Increase perceived value and attract higher-quality demand by repositioning the brand around a more premium market position.

Context

The brand operated in a competitive environment where competing on price would have been difficult to sustain. The challenge was to create differentiation through positioning rather than discounts.

Strategy

The strategy focused on clarifying the brand proposition, refining the target audience and prioritising the channels most likely to reach and influence that audience. Every communication decision was aligned with the desired market perception.

Execution

I planned and coordinated digital marketing initiatives across paid media, content, email and website optimisation, ensuring consistency between positioning and execution.

Impact

Increased sign-ups by approximately 7% over six months, while maintaining consistently strong participation in events and activities.

Approach

Good B2B marketing starts with understanding the market, the audience and the business.

I start by understanding the market and the people I want to reach: what they need, what influences their decisions and where there is a real opportunity for the business. From there, I shape the positioning, build the campaign strategy, activate the right channels and use data to understand what is working and what should change.

01

Understand the market and the audience

Good marketing starts before the campaign. I look at the market, competitors, customer needs and audience segments to understand where the strongest opportunities are. This helps define who to focus on, what matters to them and where marketing can create the most value.

02

Shape the message and the strategy

Once the audience is clear, I translate those insights into positioning, messaging and campaign strategy. The goal is to make the value proposition relevant to the people we want to reach — and clear enough to guide every marketing touchpoint.

03

Turn strategy into campaigns

Strategy only matters when it reaches the market. I turn positioning and audience insights into campaigns across the channels and journeys that make sense for the audience, from email and digital campaigns to ABM and lifecycle activity.

04

Measure, learn and improve

I look beyond activity metrics to understand what is actually moving the funnel. Campaign performance, audience behaviour and conversion data help me identify what is working, where opportunities are being lost and what should be changed in the next iteration.
