          Head of Content, Apify

          "You helped us land messaging that clearly states the problem and solution in the words our champions actually use. The homepage is super crisp now."

          Dave Barton, Head of Content, Apify

          "We reached out because we struggled to articulate our users’ pain points in their language.

          Most marketing folks default to fluffy words that don’t make sense to technical users, especially when you're creating a new category.

          But you helped us cut through that and land messaging that clearly states the problem and solution in the words our champions actually use.

          The homepage messaging is super crisp now." -

          Dave Barton,
          Head of Content, Apify

          "His insights made a significant impact on how we present our content and we're very satisfied with the final output."

          Recep Kütük, Senior Product Designer

          Dave Barton, Head of Content, Apify

          "Jakub's suggestions in our sessions were very reasonable and accurate. His insights made a significant impact on how we present our content and we're very satisfied with the final output." - Recep Kütük,  Sr Product Designer at Refine

          "Working with Jakub was great for our team. He really understood what we needed and gave us great advice that made our content much better.

          He sticks to the plan and keeps in touch even after our meetings. He always checks on how things are going and is passionate about learning the results.

          We're so glad for all the help he gave us." -

          Head of Content, Apify

          "Even if you think you don't need to, you'll gain new perspectives and he'll share surprising solutions that will have an immediate impact."

          Dave Barton, Head of Content

          Dave Barton, Head of Content, Apify

          "At first, I wasn't sure of the value of consulting with Jakub. We've been steadily growing and our schedule is already packed. But I quickly realized I was wrong. Jakub immediately got to the heart of our concerns, especially the unique challenges of crafting a marketing and content strategy for a developer audience.

          Far from just being a sounding board, Jakub brought a depth of experience and a fresh perspective. He listened to us and made a visible effort to understand our company. Then he continually questioned our existing approach, encouraging us to explore new ideas. Engaging with someone outside our organization, who understood our challenges so precisely, gave us a surprising amount of freedom to think differently.

          His approach is thorough. He consistently engaged with us outside the sessions to discuss our workflow and suggest improvements. He also made sure to follow up with notes after each session.

          By the end of our sessions, we were left with one "problem": sorting through a stack of new ideas. That's a problem we're happy to have. I wholeheartedly recommend talking to Jakub. Even if you think you don't need to, you'll gain new perspectives and he'll share surprising solutions that will have an immediate impact."

          Who am I?

          I am Jakub (Kuba) Czakon, a CMO of a dev tool startup called neptune.ai and a dev tool startup advisor. 

          I grew an acquisition engine from 0 to 3M yearly visitors, 50k+ product users, and hundreds of paying customers.

          I can help you build strategy, find good channels, improve developer experience and conversion, or optimize content ROI.

          Before getting into dev marketing, I was a data scientist, stock trader, pro chess player, and theoretical physicist.

          Through all that, I learned to dissect how things work, get to the core problems, and find pragmatic solutions quickly.
