Performance & Demand Generation

I turn paid media into measured, booked revenue — across B2B, e-commerce, and live commerce.

Paid media and demand-generation leader with 14+ years across agency, B2B, e-commerce, telecom, fintech, and FMCG — now running Canadian and U.S. client accounts at Douglas Marketing Group, with platform-scale live commerce at Daraz (Alibaba Group) and media leadership at MBA Bangladesh (a GroupM/WPP-network agency) behind me.

Murshidul Hasan, performance and demand generation marketer
Most performance marketers can run Google and Meta. Fewer can connect the full path — from a privacy-compliant tracking setup, to the creative and audience strategy that moves CPA, to the live and creator formats that are quietly becoming the next acquisition channel. That span is where I work.
 
I’ve managed up to $500K/month in media at MBA Bangladesh, led platform-wide live commerce at Daraz that grew livestream-driven orders 139%, and today I build and optimize paid media, tracking, and conversion paths for North American clients in Canada. The throughline across all of it: measurement built for decisions, not vanity metrics.

Approach

Measure first.

Clean tracking — server-side GA4/GTM, CAPI, consent compliance — before spend, so every decision rests on real data.

Spend toward revenue.

Optimize to CPA, CAC, ROAS, and pipeline, not impressions and clicks.

Test the full funnel.

Audience, creative, and landing page treated as one system, not separate levers.

Find the next channel early.

Live and creator commerce are where I built an edge before they were obvious — I look for that edge everywhere.
