About
Tanveer
I’ve spent 25+ years trying to understand…People
My career in marketing started in Market Research & Consumer Insights, and that foundation has stayed with me throughout my career. The focus working in this field was to first understand consumers, their behaviors, needs & perceptions before you start marketing to them!
I’ve worked across brands, categories and markets, including more than a decade with Unilever and a decade with BIC, leading marketing and growth agendas across multiple countries & channels.
But marketing taught me something bigger than how to build brands.
It taught me how to understand people.
Then I Found Comedy
Marketing is my profession; humour is my identity!
Humour is the active combination of insight, knowledge, and skills working together to recognize incongruities and deliver them effectively.
It turned out that understanding an audience is remarkably useful whether you’re sitting in a boardroom or standing on a stage.
Comedy taught me:
Timing
Observation
Storytelling
Empathy
Improvisation
And perhaps most importantly:
You cannot make people listen… You have to give them a reason to.
Today
I bring these experiences together. I work with businesses that need experienced marketing thinking without necessarily needing a full-time marketing department.
I train teams to think more commercially and creatively. And I host and entertain audiences at corporate events, conferences and private functions.
Different settings. Different audiences. But the same fundamental skill:
Understanding people - and knowing how to connect with them.
A few things i've learned
Marketing isn't about having more ideas.
It's about choosing the right ones.
Strategy isn’t a presentation.
It’s a set of choices.
People don’t remember everything you say.
They remember how you made them feel.
And humour isn’t the opposite of business.
Sometimes it’s the fastest way to make a serious point.
