HELP WANTED! Digital marketer for a tool that helps make remote teams more productive.
Holopod is a simple tool I built to help me better manage my remote team.We launched in November, and saw a slow trickle of signups.
Everything changed in March.
With the whole world desperately trying to figure out remote work, this may be Holopod’s moment.
Since the world has started working from home, dozens of companies have signed up — from 10 to 6000 employees.
We’re doubling down, and I’m looking for a digital marketer who is interested in digging in and helping to build our community, create content, and acquire customers. The deal could range from joining as a cofounder to simply getting paid for contract work.
What is Holopod?
Holopod was built out of challenges I’ve had running a fully remote team in different timezones. It’s trying to solve a few problems:
How do I know when someone is available?
How do I know when to message someone, and when not to interrupt their flow?
How do we reduce Slack interruptions? Eg. signalling when I’m on a Zoom call, so I don’t get distracted
Holopod automatically updates your Slack status based on your work state. If you’re on a call, in the flow, or available — it will update your status and optionally pause your notifications.
It also sends you a daily report that shows how you spend your time.
You can test it out at Holopod.com.
As a side project, our traction ain’t bad.
We launched November 2019, and currently 180 teams have signed up — ranging from 10 to 6000 employees — including some very big names.
Marketing needs
Our marketing currently consists of a Slack store listing and a trickle of search traffic. I need someone to work with me to:
Write compelling, search focused content
Build a community using Twitter
Generate buzz and PR
Write educational content and product guides
Ideally, you have this experience:
3+ years of experience in a marketing role in e-commerce/SaaS
Solid understanding of market research and data analysis methods
Solid content writing experience and community building knowledge
Interest in remote work
Next steps
If you’re interested in partnering on Holopod please email a brief profile along with writing samples to james@holopod.com.
The ideal skillset is a talented digital marketer looking for a side project who also wants to hustle on customer development, and is interested in how a startup goes from 0 to revenue.
Initially, this will be a contract gig that ideally leads into a full-time role after 1 month. We’re early enough that we are looking for co-founder, or early employees interested in owning a part of the business.
