‘Go To Marketing Partner’ For Young Startup.

I'm Divyank. I'm passionate about ideas and people. Anything that involves the intersection of these two elements is where I want to be. As a co-founder of a content marketing agency and a D2C FMCG brand, I understand the challenges of the entrepreneurial journey from zero to one.

I am also a portrait photographer and philosophy student.

Services I can offer to those who are in their zero to one stage,

as a fractional CMO or whatever else you may call it.

• Developing an interim marketing strategy to initiate momentum.
• Interviewing and hiring founding team members.
• Negotiating with agencies, freelancers, and contractors on your behalf.
• Mentoring and training internal founding teams, interns, and founders.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams.
• Serving as a brand custodian until the team is ready to take over.
• Offering listening, observational, and advisory support.
• When needed, I can also serve as the devil's advocate (backed by my legitimate law degree).
