About

Growth and customer experience, run as one system.

Towhidul Islam

I work where marketing meets the customer. At weDevs and Appsero I ran multichannel campaigns and a live support desk for WordPress SaaS. At GetGenie AI I led acquisition for an AI writing tool, and at QuantumData Innovations I built analytics driven campaigns with revenue to show for it.

That combination means I can plan the campaign, run the ads, write the content, talk to the customer, and read the data afterward. The whole loop, owned end to end.

What I do

Three things, done well and measured.

A focused skill set built around acquiring customers and keeping them.

01

Performance marketing

Paid media across Meta and Google built for return, not just reach, with clean tracking behind every campaign.

02

Content & SEO

Content with a purpose: the right message for the right person at the right moment, backed by search and outreach.

03

Customer experience

Frontline SaaS support that turns confused new users into confident, paying customers.

How I work

A simple loop that compounds.

The same operating rhythm behind every campaign I run.

01
Step 01

Audit & instrument

Map the funnel, fix tracking, and set clean attribution so every decision rests on real data, not guesses.

02
Step 02

Target & segment

Define exactly who we are after and tailor the message by segment, because one generic message rarely converts.

03
Step 03

Test & learn

Run structured creative and channel experiments, cut what underperforms, and double down on what returns.

04
Step 04

Scale & retain

Move budget into proven winners and tighten onboarding and support so new users become paying customers.

Then it loops back to the top, and every pass compounds.

Appsero is weDevs' licensing and analytics platform for plugin and theme developers. Going into Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the single biggest sales window of the year, I needed a coordinated growth push where every conversion could be traced back to its source.

  • Ran paid ads, segmented email, off-page SEO outreach, and partner co-marketing as one connected campaign.
  • Tagged every touchpoint with UTM attribution so each sale was tied to the channel that earned it.
  • Partnered with RexTheme and WPMet for co-marketing that multiplied reach without extra ad spend.
  • Tested AdRoll retargeting against the rest of the mix to see where budget actually paid off.

The season closed as the strongest on record, with growth across every revenue and retention metric that mattered.

  • UTM-tracked campaigns gave precise attribution, so I knew exactly which channel earned each sale.
  • Partner co-marketing with RexTheme and WPMet multiplied reach without extra ad spend.
  • AdRoll retargeting underdelivered (32,185 impressions, 0 conversions), so that budget moves to direct Google Display next time.
Case 02Marketing Analyst, GetGenie AI (XpeedStudio), 2023

GetGenie AI student & creator acquisition

TL;DR: two audiences, two funnels. The ChatGPT-comparison angle plus relentless creative testing turned curious visitors into paying users.

GetGenie AI is a WordPress plugin powered by the OpenAI API. In early 2023, with ChatGPT everywhere, the core challenge was clear: why pay for GetGenie when ChatGPT is free? The job was to grow adoption across two very different audiences, students and content creators, and turn early curiosity into trials and then active, paying users.

  • Built segment-specific funnels for students and creators instead of one generic message.
  • Leaned into a ChatGPT-comparison angle to capture high-intent WordPress buyers.
  • Ran continuous creative testing on Meta to push down cost per result.
  • Deployed Conversions API server-side tracking to recover conversion data most marketers lose, then used behavioral segmentation and personalized sequences to keep users engaged.

Within six months the funnel was measurably healthier on every front, from acquisition to retention to return on spend, with cost per click down 30 percent on Google Ads.

It comes down to the right message, for the right person, at the right moment. The best content blends consistency with the willingness to change course when something is not working.
