Product Marketing Leader

Using Strategic Storytelling to Drive Results

Why Hire Me?

Nicole Heger headshot

Hi, I’m Nicole—a product marketing leader who thrives on solving complex problems, building strategies that deliver measurable results, and telling stories that connect products with the people who need them.

What sets me apart? I don’t just launch products—I craft experiences. I don’t just build frameworks—I drive results. I work at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and execution to bridge the gap between product and market, helping companies grow and win.

Here’s why you should hire me:

  • I drive measurable impact. Whether it’s influencing pipeline, increasing lead conversions, or boosting competitive win rates, I don’t just deliver work—I deliver results. Every strategy I craft is designed to move the needle on metrics that matter.

  • I lead with empathy. By deeply understanding customer pain points through interviews and data analysis, I craft GTM strategies, messaging, and enablement tools that not only align with buyer needs but drive results in the market.

  • I simplify the complex. Sophisticated products? Niche markets? High-stakes launches? I excel in distilling complexity into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with technical and non-technical audiences alike.

  • I enable teams to win. Whether it’s through battlecards that improve objection handling, playbooks that boost confidence, or tailored enablement assets, I equip teams with what they need to close deals and hit revenue goals.

What I Do Best

Strategic Product Launches

I don’t just manage product launches—I design and execute end-to-end GTM strategies that align teams and drive revenue. My launch frameworks have been adopted across organizations and have contributed to key milestones, including seed-to-acquisition growth and +22% Y/Y annual recurring revenue increase.

Compelling Messaging & Positioning

Crafting the right message isn’t about fluff—it’s about getting into the mind of your buyer. I build messaging matrices, positioning frameworks, and objection handling that resonates with prospects and empower sales teams to close high-stakes deals.

Sales Enablement that Wins

Great strategies mean nothing if your sales team can’t execute. I create playbooks, battlecards, and enablement materials that align product, marketing, and sales, ensuring consistent messaging and boosting close rates.

Customer-First Marketing

I’m passionate about understanding the customer’s journey, from initial touchpoints to deal close. By leveraging insights from interviews, feedback loops, and analytics, I craft data-driven campaigns and content that increase engagement and adoption.
