With more than 3 billion people now using the internet, the online digital medium has become the newest battleground for businesses to find users. Jugular Social Media is a best-in-breed digital marketing company that helps businesses of all sizes maneuver this battlefield successfully.
Set up in February 2010 by Ashwin Sivakumar, Jugular Social Media has a carefully selected name that literally means “going for the jugular” — this suggests the aggression it brings on behalf of the companies it serves to help them have an impact in the digital space. No wonder Jugular Social Media has an enviable record of client retention and referrals across diverse segments of travel, healthcare and real estate, as well as many others.
Headquartered in Hyderabad with an office in Bengaluru, Jugular Social Media has an army of 30 employees.
Digital innovation is key
As a digital marketing company, Ashwin was well aware of the role a website plays for his business when reaching out to prospects and conveying information about the company. To take his company to the world, he launched Jugularsocialmedia.com in January 2010. Ashwin confirms the critical role the company’s website plays in its business development efforts:
“We receive 90 percent of our business through our website.”
Familiar with GoDaddy from a previous workplace and its reputation as the world’s largest domain registrar, Ashwin’s choice was an easy one. His trust in GoDaddy has only grown over his seven-year association.
“GoDaddy has played a pivotal role in starting me off as an entrepreneur,” says Ashwin. “My digital evolution has happened with GoDaddy.”
Today, with GoDaddy products and services, Jugular Social Media is able to manage digital innovation for themselves and their customers without bother.
