"Just because you build it, doesn't mean your audience will come in droves", says Syed Irfan Ajmal - a serial entrepreneur, digital marketer, and international speaker, our first speaker for SG Grind Peshawar

Companies he has founded/co-founded include a spatial intelligence startup Silk Route Interactive, a software development company Ohyrus, and since 2013, a digital marketing agency DMR after studying/working in Sweden & Denmark.

He believes marketing isn't about being a loudmouth today, and that today's startups and SMEs have the perfect chance to outsmart slow-moving corporate giants by using growth hacking (code + data analysis + marketing) to have the audience test their MVPs and to rapidly imrpove their product.

Through the intersection of content marketing, digital PR, and SEO along with data analysis and coding, he and his lean digital agency team working remotely from different countries have helped several MOOCs, Media, and Online Retail startups and SMEs growth hack their way to 6 and 7 $$$ figure monthly and yearly revenue growth respectively,

He shares his insights on personal branding, digital marketing, and growth hacking via his columns at Forbes ME, HuffPost, the World Bank among others; plus his blog has also been cited on Entrepreneur.com, TNW (The Next Web), Reader's Digest etc.
