I build systematic growth systems for B2B technology. Engineering thinking instead of campaign gut-feel — because strong products deserve a partner who truly understands their technology.

From engineer to B2B marketing partner

Industrial engineering at RWTH Aachen, then years at Bosch in Industry 4.0 — that's where I learned how to build complex systems and why processes, data, and clear structures make the difference. On a factory floor, inputs have to lead to predictable outputs. No room for guessing.

After that I marketed and sold tech products myself — I know what a long B2B sales cycle feels like from the inside. What I then saw in the B2B world frustrated me: companies with strong products failing at marketing. Agencies deliver campaigns, not systems. Freelancers deliver pieces, not the whole picture.

So I founded Brixon. My approach is an engineer's: understand the process first, then optimize. We build the system that attracts the right customers and turns them into paying partners — so your product gets the attention it deserves.

Three principles for predictable growth

  1. 01

    Concept over content

    Strategy beats volume. We start with positioning and messaging before creating a single piece of content.

  2. 02

    Outcome first

    What doesn't work gets killed — no matter how much time went into it. We measure by results, not effort.

  3. 03

    System over campaigns

    Integrated beats isolated. Every tactic connects to the next, creating a flywheel that compounds.

Keynote speaker & thought leadership

I share how B2B technology companies build marketing systematically — from the conference stage to the lecture hall. Most recently as keynote speaker at the Brixon AI Conference in Malta: “Enterprise AI Architecture — From Shadow AI to Revenue Agents.”

The person behind the system

I use daily what we implement. No hype, substance. When I'm not building growth systems, you'll find me in conversation with founders and marketing leaders — usually where the good ideas happen: between the sessions.
