CyberSaint Security

Transforming The Cybersecurity Landscape

CyberSaint operates in a space no one reads for fun. Risk and compliance automation isn’t just complex—it’s dry, repetitive, and usually written like a whitepaper no one asked for. Most cybersecurity content sounds the same, and most CISOs have seen it all before. So I didn’t write like everyone else.

 

 

 

I ran content and performance marketing with a different tone on purpose—smart, clear, and occasionally playful. It worked. Our emails stopped sounding like legal memos and started sounding like something you might actually open. Open rates jumped from 4% to 50%. Social engagement went up 700% after I brought in GaggleAMP and restructured our content approach.

I handled all copy across email, blog, and paid channels. I managed campaigns on LinkedIn and Facebook, rebuilt nurture flows, wrote and edited blogs, and cleaned up SEO with SEMrush to drive better traffic. I brought in Databox to get a handle on performance metrics, and cut cost-per-lead by 32% with smarter targeting and better creative.

 

But the biggest shift was tone. I took a category people dreaded reading about and made it approachable—without dumbing it down. The result? Better engagement, stronger trust, and content that actually pulled its weight.

How I Did It

Startups don’t come with clear lines—and this one was no exception. I worked across marketing and sales to make sure campaigns didn’t just go out—they actually went somewhere.

I launched email and nurture sequences in HubSpot, managed content and creative across social, and built graphics and assets as needed to support launches. I worked closely with Sales to tighten the feedback loop between teams—setting up systems to route cold leads back to marketing, and moving MQLs forward with the right touchpoints in place.

It wasn’t glamorous, but it was essential. Every project had to serve a real purpose, and every process had to reduce noise. The goal was simple: get the right content in front of the right people, and make it easier to act on.

The Results

My efforts increased CyberSaint’s audience across all platforms by 33.2% in 2021 and increased social media interaction/engagement by 698.03%.

As the sole email marketing campaign manager, I brought open rates from 3-4% to 30-50%. There was no nurture or drip campaign in place when I arrived and I got it off the ground and brought over 500 new MQL’s to the pipeline using that alone. My average CTR hovered around 11%, up from the 1.5% it was sitting at before I arrived.

Email marketing generated 12% of all revenue through the pipeline in 2021 compared to 2% in 2020.

I increased paid social traffic through LinkedIn and FB ads over 1400% from 2020 to 2021.

I learned the ins and outs of the cybersecurity industry and wrote several blog posts on complicated topics like:
