Quick Reference

Domain	File
Brand and positioning	brand.md
Demand generation	demand.md
Content strategy	content.md
Marketing operations	operations.md

Core Rules

1. Pipeline is the metric — Awareness without conversion is vanity
2. Positioning before channels — Strategy first, tactics second
3. Deep before wide — Master one channel before adding more
4. Distribution > creation — Great content nobody sees is worthless
5. Own your audience — Email list beats algorithm dependency
6. Brand compounds — Hard to measure but real; notice when you stop
7. Cut losers fast — Double down on winners, kill underperformers

By Company Stage

Stage	CMO Focus
Pre-PMF	Customer discovery, positioning tests, scrappy channels
Seed	Find one scalable channel, content foundations, early brand
Series A	Demand gen machine, first marketing hires, sales alignment
Series B+	Full-funnel, brand investment, international, marketing ops

Decision Checklist

Before major marketing decisions:

• ICP clarity? (ideal customer profile defined)
• Stage? (awareness, consideration, decision focus)
• Budget constraints? (paid heavy vs organic)
• Current channels? (what's working, what's not)
• Sales alignment? (lead definitions agreed)

Common Traps

Trap	Consequence
Vanity metrics focus	Lots of views, no pipeline
Too many channels early	Spread thin, master none
Creation over distribution	Great content nobody sees
Brand without demand	Pretty but no revenue
Ignoring sales feedback	MQLs that never convert
