In the competitive landscape of B2B marketing, where the focus often leans towards quick wins and fast growth, Orange Owl was founded on a different principle—a deep-seated passion for marketing and a desire to transform how businesses communicate and connect with their audiences. Our journey is not just about success in the marketplace but about creating meaningful, lasting change.
The Story Behind Orange Owl
Orange Owl‘s story began with a simple yet profound realization: many innovative ideas and groundbreaking products fail to reach their potential because they are not marketed effectively. Our founder, Vivek Goel, witnessed this firsthand during his extensive career, spanning over 25 years. Throughout this journey, Vivek worked in organizations of various sizes across different geographies. His roles have been as diverse as the companies he worked for, encompassing sales, marketing, pre-sales, quality, and HR.
These experiences, gathered from working in start-ups, mid-sized companies, and large enterprises, have shaped Vivek’s understanding of the business world. But perhaps the most pivotal chapter in his career was his time at Quixy, a SaaS company where he was part of the founding team. Vivek helped Quixy grow into one of the top players in the low-code/no-code platform space. As the Vice President of Marketing, he developed and executed marketing strategies that not only raised brand awareness but also significantly contributed to the company’s growth.
During this journey, Vivek attended numerous start-up events and marketing conferences. It was here that he realized a critical gap in the market: many entrepreneurs have brilliant ideas but lack the marketing acumen needed to communicate those ideas effectively to the right audience. This realization planted the seed for what would eventually become Orange Owl.
Driven by a desire to help more than just one company, Vivek decided to leverage his expertise in marketing to assist a broader range of businesses. His passion for marketing had grown over the years, and for Vivek, passion is the key driver behind everything he does. Whether in life or business, he believes that without passion, true success is unattainable. It was this passion that led him to the decision to start his own marketing agency, one that would help other companies bring their product and service ideas to market with the right strategies and execution.
But Vivek didn’t embark on this journey alone. Alongside him was Farhan, a marketing expert with a brilliant mind and extensive experience in the industry. The two met while working at Quixy and quickly realized that they shared the same vision and passion for marketing. Together, they founded Orange Owl—a company that would be more than just another marketing agency.
