Janko is the founder and executive director of MARK&TING, Boutique Digital Marketing agency in Hong Kong, providing marketing services for small companies with BIG potential.
Most of their clients are small companies, entrepreneurs and startups with limited budgets, who need help with digital marketing campaigns, social media, web design, graphic design and video content creation.
Janko works with clients from different industries who all have a few things in common:
- Their budgets are limited and they cannot afford (or find) an experienced full-time marketing team.
- They are forced to handle marketing themselves, wasting precious time on learning to manage their website, design flyers, understand SEO, or social media marketing.
- They want less talk and more action. Tangible results reflected in their bottom line.
- They favour responsiveness and fast turnaround times.
With MARK&TING:
- a chef can finally focus on cooking instead of building websites,
- a yoga instructor can spend more time teaching yoga, instead of designing brochures
- a furniture manufacturer gets to sell furniture instead of learning about AdWords and Analytics.
