01 / Positioning for MediaTech

Most MediaTech companies don't have a product problem.
They have a positioning problem.

TDMW helps MediaTech companies turn complex products into clear positioning, stronger go-to-market and commercial stories that buyers can understand, value and buy.

We work exclusively in MediaTech, across video workflows, media infrastructure, content technology and applied AI.

02  /  Who this is for

Built for the people responsible for making MediaTech growth happen.

TDMW works with companies selling technically complex products into equally complex media environments. Usually, that means the product is good, the sales cycle is long, the buying committee contains several different species of human, and somebody needs to make the whole thing easier to understand and buy.

Founders & CEOs

You know the product has value. You need the market story, commercial strategy and GTM engine to catch up.

CROs & Sales Leaders

Your sales team needs a clearer story, stronger differentiation and better tools for turning technical interest into commercial urgency.

CMOs & Marketing Leaders

You need sharper positioning, stronger demand and experienced MediaTech support without adding another enormous team.

Product & Operations Leaders

You know what the platform can do. We help turn that capability into a narrative the market actually understands and cares about.

03  /  Why this is different

MediaTech shouldn't be marketed like generic SaaS.

A MediaTech buyer is not choosing a neat little point solution in total isolation. Your product sits inside production workflows, media supply chains, creative operations, broadcast infrastructure, rights environments, cloud architectures and increasingly AI-driven content systems.

Which means the buyer isn't simply asking:

"What does it do?"

They're also asking:

  • Will it work with what we already have?
  • Will our technical and operational teams trust it?
  • Can the commercial value be explained beyond the demo?
  • Can we justify the investment internally?
  • What changes if we buy it?
  • And, perhaps most importantly, what happens if we don't?
04  /  What we do

We make complex platforms make sense, and make money.

01 / Foundation

Positioning & Category Design

If your positioning is unclear, everything downstream gets harder. We define where you fit, why you matter and the story that makes buyers care.

  • +What you are, and what you're not
  • +The category you compete in, redefine or create
  • +Differentiation buyers can actually recognise
  • +Messaging for technical and commercial audiences
  • +A narrative Sales, Marketing and Product can all use
02 / Strategy

GTM Strategy

Good positioning needs somewhere to go. We turn the story into an executable go-to-market strategy built around real MediaTech buyers and buying journeys.

  • +ICP and segmentation
  • +Persona and buying committee strategy
  • +Market and competitive positioning
  • +Partner and ecosystem strategy
  • +Commercial-ready GTM plans
03 / Execution

Pipeline & Growth Execution

Strategy decks are lovely. Revenue is rather more useful. We build the campaigns, content and demand programmes that put the strategy to work.

  • +Demand generation and pipeline programmes
  • +Campaign strategy and execution
  • +Thought leadership and category content
  • +ABM and targeted account programmes
  • +Events, partner marketing and sales enablement
  • +Measurable commercial outcomes
04 / Leadership

Fractional CMO

Sometimes you don't need another agency. You need somebody inside the business who can lead it. TDMW provides hands-on senior marketing and GTM leadership, working directly with your leadership, Sales, Product and partner teams.

  • +Own and lead GTM end-to-end
  • +Align Product, Sales and Marketing
  • +Build the team, systems and growth engine
  • +Create commercial accountability
  • +Operate as part of the leadership team
05  /  How we work

From a positioning problem to an embedded marketing leader.

Not every MediaTech company needs the same thing. Some need the story fixed. Some need a GTM strategy. Some need somebody to roll their sleeves up and build the thing. Usually it's a mixture of all three.

Focused Projects

Positioning, messaging, category strategy, GTM planning, launches, campaigns and specific commercial challenges.

Embedded GTM Support

Ongoing senior support working alongside your existing Marketing, Sales, Product and leadership teams.

Fractional CMO

Hands-on marketing leadership for businesses that need experienced strategic direction and execution without hiring a full-time CMO.

06  /  Experience

Built from inside MediaTech, not borrowed from generic SaaS.

TDMW is led by Martin Coles, a MediaTech marketing and GTM leader with more than 20 years' experience building positioning, demand, product marketing and growth programmes for technology businesses.

The MediaTech bit matters. The work comes from inside the category: working with Product, sitting alongside Sales, building global marketing teams, launching complex platforms, developing partner strategies, running industry campaigns and translating technical infrastructure into stories buyers can understand and act on.

07  /  Point of view

Great products don't win complex MediaTech deals on features alone.

They win when buyers understand the problem, believe the approach, trust the vendor and can defend the investment internally.

That's why our work goes beyond better copy. TDMW helps build buyer confidence across positioning, marketing, Sales and the wider go-to-market journey.
