Growth marketing specialist for SaaS and service businesses, minus the second full time job.

As a growth marketing specialist, I find what's actually blocking growth, then fix it myself. SEO, Reddit, social, content, design and ads, handled by one person instead of five. Fewer tabs. Fewer meetings. Same coffee.

I usually reply within a couple of hours. No 60 minute discovery call.

Across SaaS and service clients.

What a growth marketing specialist actually does

Most SaaS teams don't have a marketing problem. They have one bottleneck hiding behind ten tasks. My job is to find it, fix it, then build the channel that brings users in. Usually that's SEO, Reddit, social or ads. Sometimes it's the landing page nobody wanted to touch.

Growth marketing specialist vs agency vs full time hire

Agency

A team, an account manager and a retainer to match. Great if you need ten people. Overkill if you need one bottleneck fixed.

Full time hire

Salary, benefits, recruiting time and usually one specialty. Worth it once a channel is proven.

Me

One person across SEO, Reddit, social, content and ads. Plans from $1,199/mo, everything handled for $3,999/mo. No 87 slide strategy deck.

Selected work

Growth work that had to
earn its place.

No vanity metrics. Just the numbers that actually moved something.

Zero to 85K+ users.
No paid ads.

Blainy needed users without an ad budget. I built growth around search, Reddit and content so each channel fed the next one.

That brought in 85K+ users and ~30M search impressions in 12 months.

Home service marketing that isn't "post and hope."

Their Facebook page had gone quiet after the last manager left. I rebuilt it around before and afters, myth busting and real reviews, with visuals homeowners stop for.

Virtarix had solid technical knowledge and almost no distribution.

I turned that into technical content, community activity and Reddit conversations people could actually find.

More marketing isn't
always the answer.

Sometimes it's just more tabs open.

Three dashboards, two freelancers and one Reddit thread you keep meaning to reply to.

Everything looks busy and growth still feels stuck. Usually one or two things are holding the rest back. We find those first. Everything else can wait.

Diagnose first. Panic never.

One person instead of five

The stuff that usually
takes a whole team.

Strategy, SEO, Reddit, social media, articles, graphics and ads. All handled by me.

Most founders end up hiring an SEO expert, a social media manager, a designer and an ads person, then managing all four.

That's a job on its own.

You get one person, one plan and fewer "wait, who was doing this?" moments.

Who it's for

Is this a fit?

Good fit

  • You have a real product and real customers.
  • You're marketing but can't tell what's working.
  • You'd like to stop thinking about it at 2am.

Not a fit

  • You want page one of Google by Friday.
  • You need a 20 person agency.
  • You want someone to "just post more."
Client proof

About

I came into growth
through the work itself.

I started writing, then SEO, then distribution and community.

Somewhere along the way, they stopped looking like separate channels.

Before marketing, I ran a sales floor, so I care about closed deals more than likes.

My job isn't to make every channel look important. It's to find the one that matters right now.

Based in Lahore.
Working with teams in the US, UAE and Europe.
