Digital Marketing

I started doing digital marketing when I was in school. My first ever project was to help a push-cart selling coloured socks to set-up their e-commerce website & running ads to drive traffic. That was my first exposure to digital marketing when I was 18 years old. 

Went into digital marketing right after graduation and more than 10 years later, I’m running my own digital marketing agency Weave Asia.
