The brief

Hockey Stick Advisory helps SaaS companies grow through partnerships. The firm had a respected framework, a strong founder network and a flagship conference on the calendar. What it did not have was a growth engine: a way to attract SaaS leaders at scale, convert them into conference seats and advisory work, and turn the framework into software clients could use every day.

What we built

  • The marketing site and the Accelerate conference funnel, with ticketing, email sequences and paid retargeting on Meta and LinkedIn.
  • Free tools: the Revenue Gap Calculator, Ecosystem Maturity and Partnership Readiness, joined by one identity so each result feeds the next step.
  • A unified admin with magic-link login, LinkedIn publishing, post analytics and per-contact attribution, so the team can see which content actually moved someone.
  • The HockeyStick AI platform: agent workflows, an MCP server and a Slack integration that put the framework inside a client’s own tools.

SEO and AEO

  • The free tools are the SEO engine. Every result is a real page that ranks for a partnerships term the firm never ranked for before.
  • Each result page is also a benchmark an answer engine can cite: a clear number, a plain sentence explaining it, structured data underneath.
  • A public Help Centre with article schema, and the 5 Pillar framework named the same way everywhere so AI describes it correctly.

Paid that pays for itself.

We run the Accelerate conference campaign on Meta and LinkedIn. Tight audiences, creative built for the platform, and tracking that follows a click all the way to a ticket sale.
