About

Hands-on digital marketing, from someone who started in IT.

I’m Jugal Kishore Shukla — an independent digital marketing consultant in Kanpur helping brands get found in Google, the map pack and AI search.

Strategy and execution from the same person.
My story

Marketing got interesting when it became measurable.

For more than ten years I’ve helped startups, SMBs and mid-market brands across India and abroad get found by people who are ready to buy — in Google, in the map pack and, increasingly, inside AI answers.

I began in IT: computer labs, networks, servers and firewalls. That background is why technical SEO, analytics and automation feel natural to me. From 2017 I moved fully into digital marketing — running SEO, Google Ads, social and content programmes that generated leads month after month.

Along the way I formalised the craft with a Post Graduate Program in Digital Marketing from Purdue University (2022) and an Executive PG Certification in Digital Marketing & Analytics from IIT Roorkee (2024).

Today I work directly with founders and marketing teams. No account managers and no jargon — strategy and execution from the same person, and reporting you can actually read.

The best part about having Jugal in our social media batch at Digital Vidya is that he is already doing digital marketing. His nuanced questions and existing knowledge bring a lot of value on the board. I enjoy his questioning attitude and desire to learn more than everyone else. Jugal if you can carry on this attitude in your work life and focus on improving your campaigns, there is nothing stopping you from being one of the best at what you do.
