About

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.

Outside Of Work

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.

One call. No pressure. Just a clear read on where the opportunity is.
