SPAR PakistanSenior Manager Growth & Customer Strategy
Jan. 2023 - Apr. 2025PakistanIn 2023-24, I focused on driving growth across retail and e-commerce channels, while exploring new opportunities to position the brand for long-term success. Despite a challenging economic environment with over 30% hyperinflation, I consistently delivered strong KPIs. - Retail Growth: Recorded 4% YTD growth in invoices at legacy stores and 8% YTD growth at 2-year-old stores, driven by a mix of outdoor and digital marketing. New stores established a strong foothold, capturing significant market share among daily and weekly shoppers. - Loyalty Program: The loyalty program I launched in 2022 grew to over 10,000 regular monthly customers, contributing 65% of total sales. Loyalty customers’ baskets were 3.5 times larger than non-loyalty customers, favoring high-profit segments. - SPAR Canteen Pilot: Launched the first-ever SPAR Canteen in 2023-24, serving 300 students and teachers. The pilot provided insights into logistics for small-scale stores and introduced "food-for-now" and "food-to-go" services, enriching our product offerings. - Institutional Sales: Established a new institutional sales division to supply hostel kitchens, restaurants, and food production units. This new business line not only opened additional revenue streams but also enhanced our ability to negotiate commodity prices and improve logistics efficiency. - Q-Commerce Growth: Achieved 60% YoY growth in 2024 for the e-commerce division by leveraging exclusive promotions and a Q-commerce partnership with Foodpanda Shops, becoming one of Karachi’s top-performing brands on the platform. - E-Commerce Expansion: In 2024, we doubled both sales value and orders on our website by reactivating customers and promoting home delivery services in-store. An active WhatsApp ordering channel played a key role in reinforcing our "neighborhood supermarket" tagline, prioritizing customer convenience.

HTVManager Marketing Strategies
Nov. 2013 - Dec. 2014KarachiHTV is the media branch of the Ziauddin Group. The primary objective of HTV is to educate the masses on topics regarding their well being. As such it is a niche channel and operates in a very different sphere of business as opposed to other media houses. > Consumer centric approach
I helped to reorganize content in a manner which was more appealing to TV audiences by designing the specifics of our three core attributes; Health, Wellness, and Lifestyle, and applying them across the board in our programming and other projects. This helped to chalk out program attributes as well as psychographic and demographic targets for individual programs. > Incorporating marketing research
To bridge the disconnect between audiences and specific programs I led an in-depth quarterly research into our ratings and marketing research data. This helped identify which time slots were more suitable for specific TGs and which TGs were more receptive to certain programming. > Stand alone branding
I introduced the concept of programs as stand alone brands with their own individual positioning and marketing agendas. This translated into more targeted sales and marketing opportunities for the channel. It also elevated the image of the programs beyond the host names or the channel name. > Building the Products & Services portfolio
Being a unique and niche media house focusing on Health, Wellness, & Lifestyle, I spearheaded several innovative and non-conventional experimental programs at HTV to build new revenue streams for the company. This included a seminar series, weight loss packages, publications, and health related products and services. > From Health Television to Bharpoor Life
After much reluctance from management, I began the re-branding of the channel identity from its original positioning of Health Television to the brand new and more versatile and viewer friendly positioning of Bharpoor Life.
