Strategy & Market Intelligence

Know where to play.
Know how to win.

Most science and technology companies know their market. Fewer are clear on where they actually fit, who they're really competing with, and how to talk about what makes them different. A go-to-market strategy fixes that, and it's where we start.

WHAT WE HELP WITH

Strategy you can act on, not a deck that sits on a shelf

Before you spend on marketing, sales, or a new market, you need a clear read on your market and your buyers. Our go-to-market consulting starts there. We research the market, define your ideal customers, and build a go-to-market strategy your team can actually run day to day. It fits whether you're at first revenue or entering a new market.

SIGNS IT'S TIME

Signs it's time for a go-to-market strategy

A go-to-market strategy earns its keep when growth starts to feel like guesswork. A few signs it's time:

01

Misalignment

Your team describes what the company does three different ways in three meetings.

02

Differentiation

Deals stall because buyers can't see why you're different from the next option.

03

Expansion

You're entering a new market or segment and the old playbook doesn't fit.

Attribution

Marketing stays busy, but you can't tie the activity to pipeline or revenue.

WHO IT'S FOR

Built around your stage

What works at pre-revenue rarely works mid-scale. We tailor the work to where you are:

Startups

Find your first repeatable customers and a position you can defend, before you pour money into channels.

Growing Companies

Sharpen your ICP and channel mix so what's already working scales up cleanly.

Mature companies entering new markets

Move into a new segment or geography with a plan built for that market, not a rerun of the last launch.

OUR SERVICES

What our go-to-market consulting covers

Good decisions start with knowing what you're walking into. We size the market, map the competitors, and find the whitespace others miss, so you build where demand actually is and skip the segments that are already crowded. You get a clear read on where the opportunity sits before you spend a dollar chasing it.

Market Research

Nobody knows your market better than the people buying in it. We talk to your customers and prospects directly, through interviews, segmentation, and win/loss analysis, to learn what they value, why they buy, and why they walk. That research turns your messaging from guesswork into language grounded in what buyers actually said.

A strategy is only useful if your team can act on it. We define your ideal customers, prioritize your channels, and build a go-to-market plan with clear next steps and owners. We build it around your stage, whether you're a startup finding your first customers or a mature business entering a new market.

Go-to-Market Strategy

When buyers immediately understand why you're different, everything gets easier: sales, marketing, hiring, fundraising. We define your position against the real alternatives and build the messaging that makes it stick, so your whole team tells the same story. In science and technology markets, that clarity is often the first credibility test you pass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why hire Markeny for strategy instead of a bigger consulting firm?

Big consulting firms study markets from the outside and hand you a research deck. We've spent 20+ years inside science and technology companies making the same commercial decisions you're facing, and we bring accumulated market intelligence into every engagement. You spend less on expensive reports, get to a strategy your team can execute faster, and work with senior operators instead of a large firm's overhead.

How is a go-to-market strategy different from a marketing plan?

A marketing plan lists the activities you'll run. A go-to-market strategy decides the bets those activities serve: which segment to prioritize, how to position against competitors, and which channels fit your buyers. The strategy comes first; the marketing plan executes it. For science and technology companies with long sales cycles, skipping the strategy is how teams stay busy without moving the pipeline.

What is the Signal-to-Scale™ framework?

Signal-to-Scale™ is Markeny's commercial methodology. Signal: we read your market, competitors, and where demand actually is. Segment: we define exactly who to target and which accounts to prioritize. Story: we build the positioning and messaging that resonates. Scale: we hand you a plan your team can act on. It moves you from market intelligence to executable strategy in weeks, not months.

How do you build a go-to-market strategy?

We build a go-to-market strategy in four moves: research the market and competitors, define the ideal customer and priority segments, set positioning and messaging, then map the channels and a 90-day plan to reach buyers. For science and technology companies, each step accounts for long sales cycles and technical, multi-stakeholder buying committees.

How long does a strategy engagement take?

A focused go-to-market strategy engagement typically delivers in four weeks, covering competitive analysis, ICP definition, positioning, and a 90-day execution roadmap. Larger, multi-market engagements may run six to eight weeks. We scope the timeline to your needs before we start.

Do you work with early-stage startups or only established companies?

Both. We work with companies at every stage, from startups finding their first customers to growing companies scaling what works to mature businesses entering new markets or navigating M&A. The strategy work is always tailored to where you are and what you need next.

Ready to get clear on your strategy?

A Signal-to-Scale™ engagement runs four weeks and ends with something real: a clear go-to-market strategy, a defined ICP, and a plan your team can execute.
