Jagrit and Truls met through forums dedicated to digital marketing
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 10 years, you’d know there’s a lot of money to be made in social media. Today, we’ll be talking with a long-distance business duo who have made things work out pretty much in their favor. Today, we met with the Chief Executive Officer of Hiptoro, Jagrit Pratap Singh, and the Chief Executive Officer of Your Marketing Partner (ymp.no), Truls Aandal. Jagrit Pratap Singh is based out of New Delhi, India - while Truls Aandal is based in Oslo, Norway. But although the distance between them is far, they’ve both separately and combined left huge footprints across the digital media landscape. How? Grab your pencil, we’re going to school. Jagrit and Truls met through forums dedicated to digital marketing. Forums like these are where marketers and enthusiasts share ideas and get help on marketing concepts all around the world. Jagrit Pratap Singh at Hiptoro has made a name for himself as one of the founding figures and industry leaders when it comes to making things go viral on the Internet. When he launched Hiptoro in 2017, it took less than 6 months for the viral distribution website to reach the list of the most popular websites in the world, with an Alexa ranking of almost 200. He’s also known for his e-commerce ventures where he managed to close in over $2M in sales in a matter of 5 months through viral video marketing over social media platforms. Truls Aandal at Your Marketing Partner started out rather more simplistic. First as a co-founder of a Canadian marketing agency, and then alongside Jordan Daley, he founded Your Marketing Partner in July 2020. Truls is known for his out of the box thinking. He’s rescued some of the biggest marketing companies with the talent he possesses - overcoming obstacles in a breeze. What these two marketers have in common, is that they’ve made “big bills” through utilizing social media and monetization tools. Jagrit, for instance - has operated some of the world's biggest Facebook pages, which generated over 2 billion million video views over time. Jagrit’s brainchild Hiptoro Private Limited has an inventory of premium Facebook pages which he built from scratch with no ad spend. Hiptoro’s inventory includes Petrolhead, an automotive niche-based page, The Dog Channel, and Most Amazing Videos on The Internet. The list goes on. The combined followers of the Facebook pages branched under Hiptoro is over a whooping 6M followers with a weekly reach of over 20M. Truls Aandal is an avid client closer, who is known for working with some of the biggest names in US entertainment, business, and fashion, and has been providing marketing services to multi-billion dollar companies all around the world.
