The problem

You hired a PMM team. They're still waiting on strategy.

Talented marketers executing without a foundation underneath them. The output looks busy. The pipeline doesn't move.

01

Every rep tells a different story

Without documented positioning, each seller invents their own. Win rates depend on who took the call.

02

Messaging lives in six places

The website, the deck, the one-pager, and the email sequence all say something slightly different.

03

Launches are a scramble

Marketing finds out engineering shipped when the changelog goes out. There's no repeatable process.

04

Your PMMs are order-takers

They're building assets on request instead of shaping strategy, because nobody defined the strategy.

The approach

Build the foundation. Then build on it.

Fifteen elements, grouped into four layers. Each one builds on the last. Start where the gap is widest and let the work compound — owned by your team, not rented from a consultant.

The elements

Every element your go-to-market needs.

Four services, each one building on the last. Whether you're starting from scratch or building on what you already have.

How it works

Three phases. No long ramp.

PHASE 01

Assess and prioritize

Two conversations to understand your GTM goals, name the real gaps, and agree on where to start. No deliverables owed before there's a direction.

PHASE 02

Build the foundation

I do the strategic work your team doesn't have the bandwidth or seniority to do — positioning, messaging, ICP, narrative — in a format they can actually use.

PHASE 03

Hand it off

Your team runs it. I train them on the system, document the process, and step back. Built to be owned, not rented.

What this is

A real conversation about where you're stuck.

Every engagement starts the same way: a conversation about where your business is trying to go and where your PMM function is getting in the way.

Most marketing leaders already sense what isn't working. The assessment is about getting specific — naming the gaps, understanding which ones are actually blocking progress, and deciding what to address first.

The output isn't a report. It's a shared point of view on where to start, and the confidence to actually start there.

No deliverables owed before there's a directionThis isn't a consulting project disguised as a free kickoff. It's two conversations designed to make sure any work we do together starts in the right place.
Bring materials, or don'tPositioning docs, a pitch deck, messaging frameworks — share them ahead of the first call and I'll review them. They give me context, but the conversation works either way.
No obligation to engage furtherYou'll leave with a clearer picture of your gaps and a prioritized view of where to focus, whether we work together after that or not.
How it works

Two conversations. About two weeks.

Your time commitment is two calls, roughly an hour each. Everything else happens between them, on my end.

CONVERSATION ONE

Goals and gaps

We talk through your GTM objectives, what you're seeing in the market, and where your PMM function feels like it's holding you back. You share what you believe the biggest gaps are. If you've sent materials, I'll have reviewed them beforehand.

BETWEEN CALLS

Synthesis

I map what I heard against the fifteen elements and form a point of view on where the real leverage is. Not a list of everything that could be improved — a specific read on where to start and why.

CONVERSATION TWO

Direction

I share my read: here's what I heard, here's where the gaps are, here's where I'd start. We pressure-test it together and align on a direction. If there's a fit for an engagement, we'll talk about what that looks like.

03 · About

Senior PMM expertise, without the hire.

Most VPs of Marketing know what a strong PMM function looks like. The problem is getting there — building the positioning foundation, developing the messaging system, and establishing the GTM processes, while running a marketing org at the same time.

Tim Busa has spent a decade building and scaling marketing and product marketing teams at public companies, Series A startups, and everything in between. From repositioning companies at inflection points to building PMM functions from scratch, the work has always been the same: establish the foundational elements first, then build the execution layer on top.

That institutional experience is what Elemental PMM brings to every engagement. Not a framework template. Not a generic playbook. The actual work of building a PMM function that compounds.

How I work

Three principles.

01

Foundation before execution

No campaign, deck, or launch performs without positioning underneath it. We build in the right order, always.

02

Documented, not improvised

Everything gets written down in a format your team can use, brief new hires on, and update as the market shifts.

03

Built to be handed off

The goal is a function your team runs without me. I train, document, and step back.

Let's talk about what your team actually needs.

Two conversations to figure out where to start.
