What we can actually evidence.
How these are measured
- SaaS brands served:
- n = 30 SaaS brands. company inception to August 2026. Count of distinct SaaS companies under a signed advisory agreement. Excludes one-off audits, workshops and prospect calls.
- Years in-house experience:
- n = 1 founding team. 2015 to 2026. Cumulative years spent in salaried, in-house growth and marketing roles at SaaS companies before founding Surge45.
- AI assistants tracked:
- n = 6 assistants. current monitoring coverage. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Grok, plus the AI Overviews and AI Mode surfaces inside Google Search. A coverage fact, not a performance claim.
- Growth pillars, one system:
- n = 4 pillars. current advisory model. Discover, Convert, Attribute and Grow. A structural fact about how the advisory is organised, not a performance claim.

Go-to-Market Has Changed. Has Your Playbook?

- Buyers complete 70% of research before talking to sales
- PLG and SLG require different GTM motions
- Category creation demands different strategies than category entry
- Multi-product GTM requires portfolio-level thinking
- International expansion needs localised go-to-market
- AI is changing how buyers discover and evaluate SaaS solutions

Questions teams ask.
When should we engage a GTM strategy advisor?
Ideally 3-6 months before a product launch or market entry. However, we also help companies course-correct on underperforming GTM strategies already in market.
Do you help with execution or just strategy?
Both. We provide strategic advisory with execution-ready deliverables, and can lead execution end-to-end through our Execution engagements. Where you keep it in-house, we direct and advise your team or existing agencies throughout.
How long does a GTM strategy engagement take?
A typical engagement runs 8-12 weeks for the strategy phase, with optional ongoing advisory during the launch and optimisation phases.
Can you help with multi-product GTM?
Yes. We frequently help SaaS companies manage portfolio-level GTM strategies where multiple products serve different buyer personas and market segments.
What deliverables do we get?
You receive a comprehensive GTM document including ICP profiles, positioning framework, messaging guide, channel strategy, launch plan, sales enablement materials, and success metrics dashboard.
