Meet Taj
For over a decade, I've operated as a full-spectrum marketing engine for businesses across diverse industries—from the brand-centric world of Harley-Davidson to the complex B2B sales cycle of heavy machinery.
My approach is a blend of high-level strategy and meticulous hands-on execution. I thrive on architecting the complete customer journey, leveraging data analytics, compelling content, and the power of AI-powered marketing to deliver tangible results.
Whether it's driving a 60% increase in organic traffic, achieving a 3.5X ROAS on ad spend, or leading a brand to win "Dealership of the Year," my focus is always on creating momentum and driving measurable growth.
Now based in Canada, I am actively seeking opportunities to help a forward-thinking Canadian company build its next chapter of success.
