The other day, I checked off a tiny task on my to-do list.

Nothing big… just something I’d been putting off.

And it felt so good.

It reminded me that progress doesn’t always show up as big announcements, new clients, or major achievements.

Sometimes, it’s...

Showing up for yourself.
Learning one new thing.
Finishing that 20-minute task.
Not giving up on a tough day.

We celebrate the loud success stories…
 
But the real journey is built quietly, one small win at a time.

If today wasn’t a huge milestone, but you still moved forward a little, that counts.

A lot. 

Here’s to celebrating the tiny things that keep us going.

Founder | Paid Media & Growth Strategist | Market Intelligence Advisor @ Seed VC Fund | Helping Founders Scale Smarter 🚀

A year ago, I’d spend hours tweaking bids, rewriting ad copies, and second-guessing every little detail.

Hoping to find that “perfect” combination.

Now, AI quietly does half of it for me. And honestly?

It still surprises me how much it gets right.

ChatGPT sparks new ad ideas when my brain’s running on low.

Google Ads scripts catch things I used to miss at 1 a.m.

And dynamic ad copy speaks to people in ways that feel personal, not robotic.

But here’s what I’ve learned, AI hasn’t replaced creativity, it has amplified it.

It gives us the space to think bigger, tell better stories, and connect deeper.

The future of marketing isn’t human vs AI, it’s human with AI.

How are you using AI to make your campaigns smarter (and your life easier)?

#digitalmarketing #paidmarketing #aiinmarketing #chatgpt

It Started With a Meme. It Ended With an Order ;)

One evening, while scrolling through Instagram, I saw Zomato post,

“Guys, don’t fight in the comments. Order biryani instead.”

And within minutes, the comment section was full of people tagging friends, laughing, and… actually ordering food.

That’s when it hit me, Zomato and Swiggy aren’t just food delivery apps.
 
They’re mood delivery brands.

Their secret? They don’t wait for trends. They become them.
 
When something happens, a cricket match, a meme, a viral tweet, they jump in with wit, simplicity, and timing that feels effortless.

They talk like us.

They sound like your funny friend who always has the perfect one-liner ready.

It’s not about big budgets or fancy visuals, it’s about understanding culture in motion.

That’s real-time marketing.

It’s about being present, human, and quick enough to make people smile before the moment passes.

And in that, Zomato and Swiggy remind every marketer of one simple truth:

Relevance beats perfection, every single time.

#zomato #swiggy #realtimemarketing #digitalmarketing #brandstrategy #contentmarketing

The other day, I was browsing a product online.

Slick ads. Perfect models. Polished shots.

All the things brands spend money on.

But guess what made me click “Add to Cart”?

A random girl’s review video saying...

“Okay guys, this actually worked for me.”

Not perfect lighting.

Not scripted lines.

Just real experience.

That’s the thing about UGC.

People trust people.

Not brands talking about themselves.

As marketers, we often look for the “perfect” creative.

But the most persuasive content is usually the most imperfect one because it feels like a friend recommending it.

If your customers love you, let them talk.

They’ll sell better than any ad you make.

A founder once told me...

“We get tons of clicks… but no one’s actually buying.”

It wasn’t that the ads were bad.

The creatives were catchy, targeting was tight, and the traffic numbers looked great on paper.

But when I asked, “What happens after someone clicks?”, there was silence.

That’s where most brands lose people in the gap between awareness and conversion.

They spend on reach but not on the experience that turns attention into trust.

No follow-up. No clear story. No consistent message.

You don’t lose customers because they’re not interested.
 
You lose them because you don’t show up enough times for them to remember you.

The truth is:

 1. Ad performance is only as good as the system it leads into.
 2. Awareness without a next step is just noise.

If you’re running ads, map your funnel like this:

Awareness → Interest → Action → Retention

and ask: “Where are we leaking attention?”

Sometimes, fixing that one gap brings more ROI than doubling your budget.

What’s one thing you’ve seen brands overlook between “click” and “conversion”? 👇

#growth #digitalmarketing #conversion #funnelgap

Most founders treat marketing like an expense.

But in VC, we’re trained to treat capital like oxygen and you don’t waste oxygen.

Last week, while reviewing a startup’s pitch deck, something clicked for me..

The way VCs evaluate investments is the same way brands should evaluate marketing.

Here’s what I mean:

1. “Show me the fundamentals.”

VCs don’t invest because something looks exciting.
They invest because the core metrics make sense.
Marketing should be the same.
Fix the funnel → then scale.

2. “Prove there’s compounding value.”

VCs look for returns that grow over time.
In marketing, that’s your retention, your repeat purchases, your referrals.
Not just CPMs.

3. “Deploy capital intentionally.”
 
VCs don’t throw money everywhere.
They fund what’s working and starve what isn’t.
Marketing budgets deserve the same discipline.

When you apply VC thinking to marketing, you stop chasing hacks and start building systems that multiply.

If you’re a founder and want to understand where your marketing is leaking capital, DM me or drop a question below, I’ll break it down for you.

People kept telling me...

“Make a website first.”
“Build a portfolio first.”
“Wait till you have everything in place.”

But perfection has a funny way of delaying dreams.

So I launched Stackwise Media anyway.

No website.

No big case studies.

Just my skills… and belief that I’ll build the rest as I grow.

Because businesses don’t hire a website.
 
They hire a person who can solve their problem.

Starting small is still starting.

Done > Perfect. Always.

If you’re waiting for the “right” moment…
 
This is your reminder to begin with whatever you have.

Also, if you haven’t already...

Check out my company page & follow along.

Stackwise Media

A founder I spoke to recently said...

“We’ve tried every growth hack out there, nothing sticks.”

When I asked what they’d learned from their customers so far, they paused.

That’s the thing, most small brands lean on algorithms before they lean on insights.

They boost posts, test audiences, run retargeting…

But skip the simplest part, understanding who’s actually clicking, and why.

The truth?

You don’t need a massive budget or AI dashboards to scale efficiently.

You just need curiosity.

1. Look at your top 10 customers, what do they have in common?
2. Check which content drives replies or DMs, not just likes.
3. Listen to the words customers use, they’re your best-performing copy.

Scaling doesn’t start with smarter ads.
 
It starts with smarter questions.

Because when you understand your audience deeply, every campaign becomes more intentional and every rupee spent works harder.

What’s one insight you’ve learned from your audience lately and how did it change your approach? 👇

Some brands don’t struggle because of competition.

They struggle because their inside is messier than their outside looks.

And ads can’t fix that.

Here are 3 signs it’s not an ad problem, it’s a structure problem:

1. Every message feels “kind of right” but not sharp.

If your value prop changes every time someone asks what you do… ads won’t save it.

2. Your team debates data instead of using it.

GA4 says one thing, Meta says another, and everyone ends up guessing.

3. Customers buy once and disappear.

A leaky journey makes scaling feel like pouring water into a broken bucket.

Before increasing spend, fix the foundation.

When the structure is right, even simple ads perform better.

Comment “Structure” and I’ll share a clean 3-step checklist you can apply today✌

I’ve realized “starting over” doesn’t always mean a big life change.

Sometimes it’s small… almost unnoticeable.

A new morning habit.

Letting go of something that drains you.

Choosing rest instead of forcing productivity.

Saying, “I’ll try again tomorrow.”

These tiny resets matter.

They quietly shift how you think, how you feel, how you show up.

You don’t need a dramatic restart.
 
Sometimes one small change is enough to begin again.

Somewhere between campaign deadlines, CTRs, and ad spends..

It’s easy to forget why we do this in the first place.

Marketing isn’t just about selling products.

It’s about understanding people.

Their small frustrations, their little joys, their daily choices.

When a skincare brand helps someone feel confident,
 
When a fitness app makes mornings easier,
 
Or when a tiny ad makes someone smile after a long day,

That’s marketing doing what it’s meant to do.

We don’t just sell.

We solve, simplify, and sometimes, spark joy.

And maybe that’s the side of marketing we should never lose sight of the human one. 

What’s one campaign that made you feel something lately?

#marketingstrategy #digitalmarketing #brandstorytelling #emotionalmarketing #humanconnection

Ever walked into a store… and walked right back out?

Maybe the lights were too bright.

Maybe the layout was confusing.

Or maybe… it just didn’t feel right.

That’s what happens when visitors land on your website and bounce.

They came in curious…

 … but left before buying, signing up, or even exploring.

High bounce rate = lost opportunities.

Common culprits I see:

~ Slow loading pages (people won’t wait).
~ Confusing navigation (too many clicks to find anything).
~ No clear “what’s next” (they don’t know where to go).

Think of your website like a physical store:

~ Make it welcoming.
~ Make it easy to find what they came for.
~ Guide them to the checkout or next step.

If you’re wondering why conversions aren’t happening, start by asking:

 “Are people sticking around long enough to take action?”

What’s one thing you’ve done to keep visitors on your site longer? 

Share below 👇🏻 it might help another founder out.
