Hi, I’m Kevin Nakao. I work as a hands-on Fractional CMO, Chief Growth Officer (CGO), and Go-To-Market (GTM) operator for post-Product-Market Fit B2B and B2C companies ($2M to $150M+ ARR).
Over 30+ years as an operating executive (Harvard MBA, 1x COO, 2x VP Sales, 4x VP Marketing), I’ve led growth on the path to IPO at Remitly (NASDAQ: RELY, managing a $43.5M/yr media budget and cutting CAC payback from >16 to ~10 months) and through NYSE IPO at Spire Global (NYSE: SPIR, leading $50M+ in SaaS renewals and global demand gen), built four $100M+ ARR product lines at AT&T Wireless and Rhapsody/Viacom, and scaled TINYpulse from $0 to $10M ARR (acquired by WebMD).
Unlike agencies that hand your account to junior staff, the person you meet does the work. My 90-day system gets measurable lift now and trains your team to run it on their own:
1. 60-CHECK BOWTIE CUSTOMER JOURNEY AUDIT
A 2–3 week diagnostic across Data & Attribution (GA4, GTM, pixels, GCLID-to-CRM pass-back), Acquisition (Stages 1–4), and Post-Sale Retention & Expansion (Stages 5–8) so you stop pouring ad spend into a leaky funnel.
2. MINIMUM VIABLE EXPERIMENTS (MVEs)
Rapid, ICE-scored tests across positioning, landing pages, paid media (Google, Bing, LinkedIn, Meta, YouTube), signal-based outbound (Apollo, Clay, HeyReach, Instantly), and CRO to prove what lowers CAC and drives SQLs in days, not quarters.
3. MY AI-ENABLED GROWTH SYSTEM (BUILT FOR HAND-OFF)
Connecting only to the tools you already use, I wire enterprise-safe AI (Claude + BlazeSQL) to your stack via MCP, CLI, and APIs. Every workflow, skill, and readout lives in a shared Markdown repo (SKILL.md & MEMORY.md) with SOPs and Loom training so your team owns the engine after 90 days.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
Kevin helped me get my first-ever LinkedIn outreach campaign off the ground, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about the experience. We wanted to connect with executive assistants, relocation teams, and business travelers — people who could really benefit from our furnished rentals and high-touch service — but I had no idea where to start.
Before we even launched the campaign, Kevin reviewed my LinkedIn profile and gave super helpful feedback to make sure it reflected the right messaging and credibility. I ended up rebuilding it based on his suggestions, and it made a huge difference in how confident I felt reaching out.
From there, he walked me through everything — how to speak to the audience, what listings and services to highlight, and how to position our brand in a way that actually connects. He didn’t just give me a strategy — he gave me a roadmap and the support to follow through.
We’re already starting to get some early recognition from the people we’re trying to reach, and I feel like this is just the beginning. It’s still ongoing, but I’m way more comfortable now doing something I had zero experience with before. I really appreciate how thoughtful, clear, and patient Kevin was through it all — he truly cares and wants you to win.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We’ve already seen some solid momentum in just the first couple of weeks. Kevin helped us clean up our LinkedIn presence and put together a clear playbook to start building real connections with the right audience — executive assistants, business travelers, and relocation teams.
We’ve published around 15 posts so far, which is way more than we’ve ever done before, and we’re starting to attract interest and engagement from people in our target market. We’re also building a strong base of connections we can continue growing over time.
It’s still early, but this foundation is already making a difference and giving us something solid to build on in the coming months.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Kevin’s been incredibly helpful and consistent every day we’ve worked together. He’s always pushing things forward — sharing new ideas without hesitation, giving thoughtful feedback, and reviewing what I’m working on in real-time. It’s felt more like having a partner than a consultant.
His responsiveness and encouragement have really helped me build confidence, not just in the campaign, but in this whole area of the business that didn’t even exist for us before. I never felt like I was waiting on him — he’s proactive, quick to follow up, and genuinely invested in helping us succeed.
What was your primary form of communication with REVgtm?
In-Person Meeting
Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
What stood out the most is how deeply Kevin cares— not just about delivering a service, but about helping you win. He doesn’t sugarcoat things or let you cut corners, which I really appreciate as a small business owner. It’s like having a mentor in your corner who’s not afraid to get real with you, while still being fully supportive.
He treated my project like it mattered — like it was his own — and that gave me a ton of confidence. His mix of strategic thinking, hands-on help, and honesty is rare. He made something that felt intimidating (launching a campaign and building my presence) feel manageable and logical at the same time.
Are there any areas for improvement or something REVgtm could have done differently?
Nothing comes to mind! Thank you!
