About the Inbound4Cast

Mission statement

Inbound4Cast assists senior B2B marketers and CMOs in creating their vision for the future of organic growth by offering diverse perspectives on B2B marketing.

For who

While I believe this platform can benefit a wide range of B2B audiences, I also recognize the importance of having an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). Inbound4Cast is not commercial; as a freelancer, I do not use it to secure assignments. Establishing an ICP provides context for my content, as not everything I discuss is relevant to every business type. However, during conversations and in articles, I frequently consider this ICP and strive to be highly relevant to this group 9 times out of 10.

This description is not comprehensive and remains fairly broad. Inbound4Cast is most relevant to B2B companies with the following characteristics:

Long buyer journey
Complex Decision-Making Unit (DMU)
Significant information needs during the buyer journey
Possessing a unique point of view and being a thought leader makes the difference

B2B companies that fit this profile well include agencies, SaaS companies, service companies, manufacturing companies, and education and training companies.

B2B companies that fit this profile less well are e-commerce businesses, wholesalers, and organizations primarily focused on price differentiation.

Furthermore, I tailor my content by concentrating exclusively on organic growth through:

Generating demand (long term – content marketing, demand generation)
Capturing demand (medium term – SEO, inbound marketing, lead generation)

About Jerrel Arkes

My name is Jerrel Arkes (1985), freelance SEO and inbound marketing consultant with about 14 years of experience.

I’ve been helping B2B SMEs and enterprise organizations with organic growth (inbound markting, content marketing, SEO, demand generation, lead generation) since 2008.

I do this for organizations that believe that offering as much value as possible to their target audience, is the long-term strategy for success.

I have worked in this role from various digital marketing- and inbound marketing agencies and I’m currently doing this as a freelancer.

For the inbound marketing part, I’m working with the HubSpot Marketing platform a lot.
