Meet Ketna

Marketing at its finest creates believers, builds bridges between brands and people, and amplifies impact when done with purpose, creating ripples that transform moments into movements."

I've spent my career helping B2B companies improve their marketing and transform how they operate.

Working across different sectors, I've learned that real change happens when you combine practical operational knowledge with fresh thinking.

What drives me is creating approaches that actually work long-term, not just quick fixes. I focus on making sure any transformation directly supports what the business is trying to achieve.

My clients appreciate that I deliver measurable improvements rather than just strategies that sound good on paper.
