Story so far...
I started as a field salesman and then inside sales, and now growth marketing – I focus on Acquisition, Activation, Revenue, Retention and Referral.
I’ve been fortunate enough to work with several SaaS companies to grow their business with SEO, Paid Ads, Content Marketing, Onboarding & Activation & Sales (Revenue).
What I am currently working on
I’m currently working on Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and Influencer Marketing at Synthesis. While working at it, I’m creating a category of the new way of teaching kids with game-based approach.
About Synthesis:
Six years ago, Elon Musk walked into a parent-teacher conference to meet with his child’s teacher, Josh Dahn. Elon approached Josh with a life-changing question: would he be interested in starting an experimental school at SpaceX?
Josh agreed and Elon gave him one directive: “Make it great.”
Out of the terror and opportunity of that request, Josh created Ad Astra School.
At Ad Astra, there were no grade levels or age segregation. Learning was problem-focused rather than tool-focused, and one of the most popular classes was called Synthesis.
In this class, Josh gave kids wildly complex conundrums and case studies that pushed their thinking. The kids were not intimidated, they were obsessed.
When Chrisman Frank, then the first engineer at ClassDojo, visited Ad Astra in 2017, he encountered kids buzzing with excitement about Synthesis. Seeing kids enthralled by a school subject is rare. It was then that Chrisman knew he had to find a way to scale the experience for everyone.
In November 2020, Josh and Chrisman launched Synthesis, the company, as a subscription service.

What folks are talking about my work
I've previously worked various founders to personally help them grow faster sustainably.
Aazar has been and important part of our growth strategy. He supported Rocketbots with growth hacking service and consultation since our product was on beta, now we have over 10,000 corporate users in 54 countries.
Hiring Aazar as a consultant has been the best decision so far. He fixed the limecall website, improved our conversion rates and created conversion-focused content plan. He has been an asset to set up a product-led growth marketing & sales team. Always recommended to use his services.
Aazar goes deep with growth marketers to explore how they gained mastery in their craft and highlight how listeners can apply simillar principles at their businesses. This is a great listen for anyone who works in / around growth roles.
A lot of B2B SaaS marketing shows are pretty boring. Back and forth interviews with the same people get old after a while. I really appreciate Aazar’s fresh take – part narrative, part interview. There’s always good stuff in there and heaps of takeaways too.
Aazar is not only having amazing guest, but he’s also so focused on asking the right questions, that is podcast is a no-brainer for any growth marketing person that wants to up its game! Not convinced? Head to the end of any podcast, he’ll do his rundown of the episode and share his learnings! You’ll want to listen more 🙂
