How YOU should position yourself for Associate Director – Marketing (Truww)
I’m a performance-first marketer who has scaled interiors & home-services demand, built full-funnel systems, and now want to own brand + growth together, not just run ads.
Tell me about yourself
I have 13+ years of experience across performance, SEO, and growth marketing.
What differentiates me is that I’ve scaled demand for interior & home-service brands at Quikr and managed large budgets with accountability at Novo Nordisk.
I’m now at a stage where I want to own brand + growth together, build teams, and create predictable revenue engines — which is why Truww strongly interests me.
How will you build Truww’s marketing strategy in first 90 days?
First 30 Days – Understand
- Audit performance channels (Google, Meta, YouTube)
- Funnel analysis (Lead → Visit → Closure)
- SEO health & keyword gaps
- Understand sales objections & close rates
- “I’ll spend time with sales, not just dashboards.
31–60 Days – Optimise
- Fix CPL vs lead quality mismatch
- Separate brand vs performance budgets
- Improve city-wise GTM
- Content aligned to decision-stage keywords
61–90 Days – Scale
- Predictable lead engine
- Strong remarketing + WhatsApp CRM loops
- Partnerships (builders, brokers, architects)
- Hire/structure team
How do you balance Brand vs Performance?
Brand builds trust, performance captures intent.
In interiors, performance without brand increases CPL, and brand without performance delays revenue.
I allocate budgets across:
- Upper funnel (YouTube, Meta Video, PR)
- Mid funnel (SEO, content, remarketing)
- Lower funnel (Search, Lead Forms, WhatsApp)
All tracked through assisted conversions, not just last click.
How do you approach SEO for a brand like Truww?
SEO for interiors is not just traffic — it’s decision influence.
I focus on:
- High-intent keywords (cost, comparison, reviews)
- Local SEO (city + micro-market)
- Content answering real objections
SEO helps reduce long-term CAC and improves paid performance as well.
How do you build and manage teams?
Clear KPIs, ownership per channel, weekly reviews, and open communication.
My role is to remove blockers and help the team think like business owners.
