Testimonials

Personally, I was kind of lost after losing my dream job all of a sudden. Though I knew it’s a part and parcel of life, yesterday I met a ‘real’ person who stood up after going through the same phase as mine. Your transformational story encouraged me in moving forward! I can’t thank you enough for de-cluttering my thoughts and a month of dilemma!

Makarand has a remarkable curriculum vitae. He is a digital marketing expert. He is a best-selling author. He is a leadership trainer. He works with a series of corporations to help them dramatically improve their operations. He is a man of many talents.

Thanks for your input today and your help getting me into the website so I can make the necessary changes needed. The structure you put together is simple and pretty. It offers a good platform for telling our story. Changing the pictures and some of the language has made this a really beautiful site for which I am very pleased. I have the ability to add pictures and maybe strengthen some of the pages which makes me happy. Thanks again.

Although I use social media on routine basis, I didn’t know its “business angle” or “branding angle”. Makarand’s book helped clarify it for me. I also found author’s journey to build his personal brand an inspirational one. Great tips and strategies for professionals and business owners.

Great presentation by Mak. One of the important takeaways for me is the importance of 1st Page of the Google and that your business needs to be on the 1st page of the Google. That was really an important learning for me.

I was thinking that digital marketing would be a very difficult one but the tools and tips provided by Makarand are very helpful. The training was very informative. I have learned many new things. This training motivates me. I have attended many sessions before but this one is perfect.

What I like about his courses is that his content is understandable and to the point, without the fluff.

He is a practitioner and conveys things practically and not in textbook style. His hands-on tutorials are also nice and allow anyone to watch and implement as he’s showing things on the screen. Thank you for creating good courses. It’s going to help many business owners.

As a PR person, I need to have a strong Marketing person with me and in my business. You need to know what Mak knows.

I’ve known Mak for couple of years now and he’s certainly an expert in the Digital Marketing Field.

We were exploring Instagram platform and its features but got lost very quickly when it came to IG reels, IGTV, Stories and Instagram Live and everything else that today’s business requires. The thing is that while I appreciate the power of social media, we are still “old school” in many ways. For example, many of my team members are senior employees who can’t learn the ropes of modern marketing strategies fast enough. Makarand helped us unravel the mysteries of Instagram in terms of which feature to use when and how to use it. He is a terrific person full of energy yet humble and patient enough to deal with our limitations. We just love him.

I’m Avi Gaje. I’m a Founder and President of NJ Softball Cricket Association (NJSBCL) which is considered as one of the largest Cricket leagues in the USA. We’ve a massive scale with more than 150 teams comprising 7000 plus active player members. Through our league, we participate in a 1,400-game each season. NJSBCL’s games are played with a heavy tennis ball in the sixteen-over format.

I recently contested and ran for the elections for USA Cricket Board as Individual Director. I was elected for 3-year term. During that time, I had approached Makarand to help me out with and to take a look at my voter engagement efforts, which consisted of Email Marketing Campaigns & Facebook Ad campaigns. His assistance helped me grow and expand my social media outreach efforts. I highly recommend Makarand’s expertise and his services.

I reached out to Makarand as a last resort. I had stretched myself too thin in different directions and didn’t know what I was doing wrong the way I was trying to market to my audience. Long story short, I’ve been blown away at how much insights he provided in optimizing my efforts and my investments. As a comparative amateur in social media and online marketing, he quickly introduced me to top 3 high-value areas I needed to focus on. The best part was that Makarand took the time to ensure I understood the strategies and processes he had planned for me — which is why I trust him completely. I can’t thank him enough!

I learned of Makarand (Mak) when I was looking for a digital marketing expert to help me with my business. I was doing all the work on my own and had ran out of ideas that would create an engagement and bring in customers. After a quick phone call with Mak, I learned of new trends and strategies, along with the things I was doing wrong and were counterproductive. It’s going to allow me to finish 2020 with a good bang. It has been a great learning experience working with him!

I worked with Makarand for developing high level Digital marketing roadmap and strategy plan for my new startup venture. Before meeting Makarand, I did some research about makarand and realized that I have come to right person but I was skeptical about how much time Makarand will spend with me given by startup stage. When I interacted with makarand one thing became very clear that makarand is very good listener and with few right questions get the gist of the requirements and problem very quickly. Makarand is very good listener and most importantly is he expert in his field. He has in-depth understanding of the digital marketing space. Other important part is Makarand spent lot of time understanding my background and me as a person and then my business goal/dream. That made a huge difference when he provided the solution customized for me and my business. I am impressed with Makarand’s time responsiveness and expectation management. Throughout the process Makarand kept me informed abound the progress. The actual digital strategy roadmap presented to me by Makarand exceeded my expectations. I was impressed with details and how much soul he put in his work. Makarand’s plan was to the point and actionable I wanted one time plan for my business but I think in Makarand I got my strategic partner and buddy. Highly recommended for digital marketing and execution Thanks Makarand.

Practical and Quite Inspiring – I came to know about Makarand’s Youtube channel through a business associate of mine. Digital Marketing always seemed daunting to me and Makarand’s videos helped me a lot. His tips are practical and quite inspiring. After watching a few of his videos, I approached Makarand to sign up for his services. I can’t believe how far I have come in the last 4 months. HUGE thanks to Makarand for his consistent support and guidance. I highly recommend him to all New Yorkers.

Makarand has a ton of experience in both the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds. I appreciate him sharing his journey and the struggles he had to face. I would recommend this to any entrepreneur out there. Even if you consider yourself “seasoned” you will get a refresher and look back at things you might have neglected in your Digital Marketing strategy (which was the case for me). If you are new to the entrepreneur world, then this book will give you all the knowledge you need to start putting your strategy together. A must book in your business library!

I am the owner of a small private preschool with 37 years of teaching and administrative experience in both pubic and private schools. I hold several post graduate degrees and have focused on curriculum development over the past 23 years in my private preschool. My marketing plan has relied heavily on word or mouth. Although I had a web site and a presence on social media, I didn’t spend much time analyzing my marketing plan. After reading Utpat’s book, I must confess, I had more questions than answers, but these questions made me realize how much I didn’t know about digital marketing. This book clearly shows the reader how to approach marketing and social media in a systematic, thoughtful and mindful way so your business can flourish in very noisy and competitive markets. I’ve revamped my thinking about digital marketing and am now working on a cohesive plan going forward. This would not have happened without my reading this book. Thanks, Makarand.

Mak taught me the importance of your own Website. Although Social Media is important, Website is equally important because that’s the face of your business. I’ve learned a great deal from Mak. I’ll highly recommend Mak’s Services.

A complete gamechanger for my business – “The business I started last year, right after my graduation, barely received any support the first two months. I was losing all hope for my business to ever flourish and eventually decided to call it quits. Thankfully a friend stopped me on time and told me to check Makarand Utpat’s marketing services. I must say, Makarand Utpat’s social media marketing and brand-boosting techniques have been a complete game-changer for my business. I now have an ever-growing customer base, and my business is achieving new heights every single day! I would recommend Makarand Utpat’s digital marketing services for anyone looking to establish the online presence of their business.
