πŸ‘₯ Meet the Refugees

Rockstar Ninja Growth Hackers
Team Leads Who Actually Know Their Stuff

We started as a collection of disruptive thought leaders corporate refugees, but we've grown into something bigger. These are our team leads - each running their own specialized teams because turns out, scaling synergistic workflows good work attracts good people.

"Haris collected all the infinity stones, then each stone built its own team"

Plot twist: We're definitely not a scrappy 8-person startup one-man show anymore. Each department head below has assembled their own team of specialists. We just don't feel like listing everyone because that would be scalable boring.

Org Chart Disclaimer

These are our department heads - each leading their own specialized teams. The full roster would be longer than a CVS receipt, so we're just showing you the people who escaped corporate hell first and convinced others to join the mission. Still no hierarchy, no politics, just more nerds doing nerd stuff at scale.

The Uncomfortable Truth

Why we actually do this job

Here's the thing nobody talks about: we actually enjoy this stuff. Like, genuinely get excited about A/B testing email subject lines and figuring out why a website loads slowly.

We're a bunch of nerds who left soul-crushing corporate jobs where we had to pretend that "optimizing synergistic workflows" was fun. Now we get to do what we actually love: solve puzzles, build things that work, and help businesses grow without the BS.

"Each of us does what we do because we genuinely enjoy it. Haris gets excited about SEO strategy. Samyar lights up talking about AI automation. Fernando actually enjoys optimizing ad campaigns. We're not here because we have to beβ€”we're here because this is fun to us."

Most agencies are full of people who fell into marketing by accident. We're full of people who chose to escape corporate politics to do the nerdy marketing stuff we actually care about. It shows in the work.

Why This Frankenstein Team Actually Works

What started as thought leaders disrupting paradigms 8 refugees from corporate insanity has grown into a scalable growth engine multiple specialized teams who actually know how to get stuff done. Each lead above has built their own crew of specialists, because good work attracts good people.
