Ben Ackles

I help technical products find their market.

I'm Ben Ackles, a product marketer and builder in Boulder, Colorado. I work across positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy, with a particular focus on products built for developers and technical teams.

I've spent my career helping companies turn complicated products into clear reasons to care.

That work usually starts well before launch. I partner with product managers, engineers, designers, sales teams, and customers to understand where a product fits, who it matters to, and what needs to be true for people to adopt it.

My sweet spot is technical products. At BigCommerce, I worked on developer-facing products including GraphQL APIs, App Extensions, and Catalyst, an open-source storefront framework. At Storyblok, I led a company-wide positioning initiative to sharpen how the headless CMS differentiated in a crowded market, then translated that positioning into messaging for developer, marketer, and enterprise audiences. More recently, I’ve worked on bringing AI capabilities to market inside an established SaaS platform.

I also like getting close to how products are actually built. This site is one small example.

Built, not just briefed. This site moves from design to code to production, with Claude Code connecting the workflow.
