Read how Jugal Joseph, a certified freelance digital marketing strategist from Ernakulam, Kerala, facilitates brand growth through experienced and passionate strategies to achieve results.
From MBA Classrooms to Building Digital Brands in Kerala
Hello, my name is Jugal Joseph, a Freelance Digital Marketing Strategist from Ernakulam, Kerala. Many people fell into this career path by accident, but I took an intentional and personal route. I have a background in business (I have an MBA) and I always believed you should complement right and left brained thinking with the ability to tell a good business story, which eventually materialized into a viable career- a blend of data, design, and human behaviour.
But let me backtrack a little.
During my post graduate days, I was more interested in the behaviour of brands online than what the textbooks taught about marketing theory. I progressed from running mock-up campaigns in class to genuinely helping local businesses setup Facebook ads. By the time I completed my MBA, I was not looking for the usual 9 to 5 , I wanted to build digital empires through digital marketing for other people, starting from right here in Kerala.
Why Choose Me as Your Digital Marketing Strategist?
I get this question a lot-and I believe in earning the answer, not just stating it.Here’s what makes my approach different:
Certified Expertise + Local Context
Having an MBA gave me the baseline knowledge about consumer behavior, branding, and the use of marketing analytics. But it was independent contracting with real clients in Kochi, Ernakulam, and throughout Kerala that taught me what marketing really is, solving human problems with the help of creative and analytical expertise.
From running PPC campaigns for fitness brands to improving SEO for local boutiques, I understand what works for businesses in Kerala, and more importantly, I understand why!
Results-Driven, Not Just Trend-Driven
The digital world is noisy. Tools change, platforms evolve, algorithms update. But the goal stays constant: to generate measurable results.
Whether it’s:
3X-ing a local cafe’s traffic through local SEO, running ROI-positive ad campaigns for a Kerala-based coaching institute, or redesigning funnels to increase conversions by 45%, I always start with the goal and work backward. Ethical, Transparent & Personalized Strategy You’re not a “client” in my eyes. You’re a brand with potential. I don’t believe in copy-paste strategies.
My approach?
Listen first. Execute next. Optimize always.
- No vanity metrics.
- No black-hat SEO.
- No automated bots.
Just transparent communication and clear KPIs.
