EP106: Nik Sharma: Rocket Launching Your Brand

Perfectly Mentored with Jason Portnoy

We live in a world where data is abundant, but what do we do with all that information? In a rapidly changing environment, an eye for sociology and culture and a data-driven mind are essential to figuring out what works for a brand—and what doesn’t.

Nik Sharma is the CEO of Sharma Brands, a strategic-initiatives firm that works with a wide range of brands to help them grow and scale revenue across digital platforms.
