How to Develop a Personalized and Value Driven Content Marketing Strategy with Ali Payani Ep. 68

Immigrant Entrepreneur: Ali Payani Ali is originally from Iran but his entrepreneurial journey started when he was living in Dubai. He wanted to launch his startup but the government in Dubai did not allow him to do it only because he was Iranian. He tried so hard for 2 years, but was unsuccessful. So, he took his business idea to Silicon Valley. He came to the United States to be able to launch his company. He was working on a prototype in the air quality industry but a year later he decided to pivot. So he connected with one of his friends from Dubai and they launched a digital marketing agency without any knowledge, or any experience in that field. One year after coming to the States, Ali took his business to the streets of Ventura Blvd. in Los Angeles County. In the middle of summer he went knocking on businesses and asking them if they wanted any of his digital marketing services. With his fire and drive he kept on going and saw massive success. Only 4 years later, LookinLA announces 300% growth and didn't lose a single client in 2020 during the pandemic. LookinLA is a full service digital marketing agency beating all the odds.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/immigrantentrepreneurs/support
