Borrow practitioner credibility for your content. Whitepapers, webinars, and technical content that resonates.
Who This Is For
Data product companies and agencies that want expert perspective to enhance their content and credibility.
Common situations:
- Your content sounds like marketing, not practitioner insight
- Technical audiences tune out because you’re not “one of them”
- Whitepapers need credible expert voice
- Webinars need someone who’s done the work
- You want to build trust with data practitioners

Not marketing speak. The way practitioners actually talk.

Blend your product knowledge with independent expertise.
Webinar Participation

How It Works
| Model | Details |
|---|---|
| Per-project | Single whitepaper, webinar, or content piece |
| Retainer | Ongoing content support (2-4 pieces/month) |
Flexible based on your content calendar and needs.
The Investment
Content credibility pays back in pipeline.
In-house content team: €80-150K/year + management overhead
Agency whitepapers: €5-15K per piece, often generic
Expert contributions: Fraction of in-house cost, real practitioner voice
One whitepaper that generates qualified leads pays for itself quickly. Generic content that gets ignored is the expensive option.
Signs You Need This
- Marketing team writes great copy, but data practitioners tune it out
- Competitors have “thought leaders” on staff; you don’t
- Sales team struggles to articulate technical differentiation
- Content gets clicks but doesn’t convert technical evaluators
- You’re entering a market where credibility must be earned
What Changes
- Content that carries weight - Technical audiences engage with practitioner voice
- Stronger positioning - Association with independent expertise builds trust
- Marketing that resonates - Content data practitioners actually want to read
- Credibility transfer - Your brand benefits from practitioner association
Why This Works
Third-party perspective is more credible than self-promotion.
Your audience trusts independent voices.
