You Need the Right Story — and the Right Support
You already have the raw material. The challenge is turning it into a GTM advantage.
Your message is too broad, too technical, or too founder-centric. The market needs a story it can connect with and remember.
Your narrative needs clarity
Your GTM engine hasn’t scaled
Lean teams can’t do everything. You need the right strategy, assets, and execution to move smarter, faster.
New objections, competitors, and use cases continually surface, creating demand for fresh massets while Marketing is already stretched thin.
Your best insights stay buried
AI tools and buyers discover, evaluate, and trust content differently today. If you’re not showing up in AI engines, you’re being overlooked.
AI is reshaping buyer discovery

About Talented Tenth Media
I’m Satta Sarmah Hightower, founder and principal of Talented Tenth Media, LLC.
For the last 12 years, my consultancy has collaborated with founders and lean marketing teams to transform product innovation into a clear GTM narrative, and then turn that narrative into the strategic content their companies need to grow.
Testimonials
I truly enjoyed working closely with Satta at Context Labs and have the highest regard for her intelligence, collaboration, strategic thinking, and storytelling.
Her journalistic background gives her a unique ability to listen, learn, and break down complex scientific technologies into clear, compelling GTM and marketing narratives.
Satta’s value extended well beyond her exceptional writing. She consistently brought forward thoughtful, strategic ideas that helped strengthen our GTM approach and elevate how we communicated the value of Context Labs’ technology.
- Michele Henault, Senior Channel Marketing Leader
Satta has my full faith and trust. She approaches every project with a journalistic curiosity, precise storytelling ability, and an unwavering professionalism that is rare to find. When she takes on work to support our GTM efforts, I know it will be exactly what we need — and often, it will be submitted well before the deadline.
As a growth marketing leader, Satta eliminates nagging worries about the end product we receive. It’s such a gift to have one less thing to think about.
Having worked with Satta for close to a decade now, I can honestly say she has had such an impact on the quality of our work and the standards we hold ourselves to, and I’m so thankful for our continued working relationship.
