Scaling a startup isn’t about throwing money at ads or hoping for viral growth. It’s about building a repeatable, data-driven system that works. If your marketing feels chaotic, your customer acquisition costs are rising, or your team is struggling to align sales and marketing, you don’t need more trial and error. You need an expert who has done it before.
I’m Ahlem Mahroua, a Marketing Strategist and Growth Advisor specialising in scaling tech, EdTech, and gaming startups. I’ve helped founders break through revenue plateaus, optimise acquisition channels, and build growth engines that generate predictable revenue.
With over 20 years of experience, including at Google, I bring high-impact, hands-on strategies that drive real business outcomes.
