- Will McTigheCO-FOUNDER in SaywhatThere are two things that I love about The Career Accelerator: 1. It starts with a personal story and brings me into Harvey's world, and 2., Harvey includes really practical tools for marketing, like his 1,000 word template. Keep up the great work Harvey!
- Amitai RichmanDIRECTOR OF PRODUCT MARKETING in K2viewHarvey Lee's "Career Accelerator" newsletter is a breath of fresh air: informative and entertaining; it tackles the real challenges that keep marketers up at night. Harvey uses illustrative case studies and personal anecdotes to convey essential insights in an easy-to-digest manner.
- Akash AithalPRODUCT MARKETING in Duke UniversityHarvey's newsletters aren’t just marketing guides—they’re like a crash course in strategy and leadership with a side of wisdom! He takes those big, scary frameworks and breaks them down like he's teaching a toddler to ride a bike (with training wheels, of course). But the best part? His newsletters and LinkedIn posts give you that motivational kick, reminding you to crush it at what you're already awesome at!
- Zoe KoumbouziFRACTIONAL CMO & LINKEDIN MARKETERHarvey Lee's newsletter is not your usual clickbait content fluff. His writing is genuinely valuable, I actually look forward to reading it.

- Alina MironPRODUCT MARKETING MANAGER in LushaHarvey Lee's newsletter is an invaluable free resource every product marketer should use. His article on versus positioning was a game-changer for me. It provided concrete, actionable steps to turn product features into advantages, even in a saturated market. I applied this strategy in a recent job interview, using it to highlight unique differentiators and position a newly launched feature. The result? I landed the product marketing manager position! What sets Harvey's advice apart is its practicality - no fluff, just straightforward, applicable insights. In just two months of subscribing, I've found his content to be relatable, to-the-point, and incredibly effective. If you're looking to elevate your product marketing game, Harvey's newsletter is a must-read!
