About Us
marketANDgrow is a boutique marketing advisory based out of Fairfax, Virginia.
We specialize in Analytics, Google Marketing, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO), Landing Page Optimization and Marketing Automation.
We offer both a consulting service, where we advise your company on what to do, including strategy implementation, where we develop curated solutions and campaigns; and a coaching service for the DIYers on a weekly call to discuss performance bottlenecks, actionable steps to improve results, etc.
As a small business ourselves, we understand the personalization and time that it takes to create campaigns that suit your business needs.
Our Founding Story
Sajid founded marketANDgrow after being sick and tired of seeing so many entrepreneurs and business owners lose their shirts on their first ad campaigns, only to let their discouragement hold them back from one of the greatest advertising channels available.
Our Vision
Our vision is to help companies reach their full potential; to build a community to empower companies to accomplish more.
We Believe In
At marketANDgrow, we value transparency, proactivness, growth, curiosity and measurable outcomes. We work diligently behind the scenes to do our research, understand the market, and evaluate numerous growth strategies so that we can find the optimal strategic fit for your brand.
We practice both conscious, thoughtful work while at the same time promoting efficient deliverables that drive tangible results. We are transparent, investing in long-term marketing solutions rather than the next fad; at the same time, we are open to new ideas and always looking out for innovative strategies that help to widen your brand’s reach.
One thing we seek out when deciding to engage with a client is a good product. We are a loyal cheerleader for our clients while simultaneously offering curated strategies and advice that deliver measurable results.
Having a founder who has been through the tireless process of finding a marketing company that actually delivers on its promises, we are certain that we have what it takes to take our clients to the next level.
Our 5 Core Values
COMMUNICATION MATTERS
We are not mind readers. We openly share our feelings & opinions.
We believe in communicating early and often to avoid miscommunications.
- Communicate Clearly.
- Communicate Early.
- Communicate Often.
ASK WHY
Don’t be shy to ask questions, delve deeply into the topic, read and explore. Like a child, we always ask questions to understand the why behind the why.
We have a clear purpose of why we are doing something at work.
SEE SOMETHING? DO SOMETHING
When you show initiative, you do things without being told; and you spot and take advantage of opportunities that others pass by.
You act, instead of reacting, at work. If something is broken or not efficient, take the initiative to change. Ask forgiveness rather than permission.
GROWTH
We thrive on challenges, see mistakes as a learning opportunity and openly accept criticism because we believe it will help us grow.
We are continuously seeking better ways to do our job. Invest in growing yourself.
RESULTS
To deliver in excess of a norm, standard, or requirement. Remember how we felt when we were given an extra cupcake on the house?
When we overdeliver, everyone receive a feeling of elation. Willingness to win. Ownership of our deliverables. Accountable for our results.
