Hi, I’m Alok.
A digital growth hacker with 15 years of experience running marketing for everyone from scrappy startups to billion-dollar brands. MBA from Northumbria University, UK. Also a self-taught guitarist who’s busked his way through 10 countries — which is maybe why I’m good at finding the long, unglamorous route that actually gets you somewhere.
15 years, four things I actually know how to do

A few things that don’t fit on a résumé
I can solo and improvise over pretty much any song — guitar’s been the one constant hobby through every career move. I’ve busked my way through a 10-country Eurotrip, and I still prefer a 2,000km road trip to a flight when I can get away with it. My sisters would tell you I cook better than they do; I’d let them keep believing that.
Let’s find your next growth lever.
