Before you get too invested...
Look, I know this site doesn't look that great. My headshots? They aren't professional. The one on the homepage was taken by my daughter at a brewery in North Vancouver, Canada. The site design? Done by me on Google Sites. The colors? The header? The weird stuff you see?
That's just me.
I like working with people who want to work with someone like me. That's it. Maybe you don't care but I do.
Right now, I am only taking small, freelance projects and consulting. If you like what you see here, you can reach out to me at hey@lance.fm.
What exactly do I do?
I've spent the better part of two decades in the work technology space as an agency strategist, researcher, and writer as well as a long-time industry journalist, speaker, and columnist. Please enjoy this selection of inoffensive stock pictures paired with some descriptions of my favorite types of work.
Strategy
New product? New company? Need traction? Need a sounding board with some industry expertise? Start with strategy.
Messaging
With more than 100 messaging engagements, ensure that your message stands out in a crowded market.
Go-to-market
Part research, part recommendations, let's figure out your next move (and tell that story).
Research
Need some research done or need to make sense of data? I've specialized in multi-modal research for over a decade.
Writing
I've written hundreds of thousands of words about work technology. I've got a few more in me, too.
Media
Industry columnist, journalist, and editor, as well as ghostwriting hundreds of contributed articles.
Analysis
Want a somewhat-objective view of the market? Need a third-party to talk to customers and prospects?
Speaking
Small groups, webinars, and sure, even a few events. I'd love to partner with your organization on that.
Vibes
If nothing else, we're going to have a great time working together. That's why you're here, right?
Selected work
I've been lucky enough to work on some interesting projects over my career. While much of the strategy work I've done is confidential, I can share other work that's out there in the public for all to see.
