We had the good fortune of connecting with Ahmaad Green and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Ahmaad, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I wanted to create a business that created value in others’ lives. For much of my life, I’ve always wanted be an entrepreneur and follow in the footsteps of my late grandfather, Willie Brown, who owned a restaurant for over 40 years in Savannah, GA. After he passed when I was around 3 years old, I never truly had anyone to show me the ropes. But with my newfound knowledge in digital marketing and advertising that I acquired after dissolving my first business, Vipaji Kiumbe Brand, due to lack of cash flow, online traffic, and brand awareness.
I want to help entrepreneurs overcome these challenges and grow long-lasting businesses.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What sets me apart is that I have over 5 years of experience with digital marketing and advertising campaigns. I have crafted multi-million dollar strategies for brands like STAINMASTER brand™️ and Home Depot. I’ve generated 1000s of leads and managed campaigns that directly produced over $10MM in revenue.
I’ve gotten to where I am through failure. Honestly, I’m not that afraid of failure, because I’ve been able to learn every step of the way. My first online business went down fast unceremoniously due to my lack of knowing how to get people to my site and then get those people to actually convert into customers.
After that failure, I studied deeper into online advertisement and marketing. I washable to grow and hone my skills by helping small to large sized businesses. The strategies and tactics I have used to create results are revenue proven even after iOS 14 & 15 updates.
Was it easy? Nope! But every setback has brought me to hear. I have had many failing campaigns, but I didn’t let that stop me and it created exponential growth in future campaigns. Persistence and consistency is key in the online business game. Taking imperfect action results in becoming better and better. This is something that other businesses can learn from.
What I want people to know about me is that I am entrepreneur after God’s own heart, and I want to see a new revolution of entrepreneurs who put God first in their service to others. That’s what business is… it’s service! I want people to know that if I could do it, then they can too! And for them to remember that we are loved and called by God through Christ Jesus who wants us to impact this world by our service and love to others.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My family and I’s favorite place to visit weekly is Ponce City Market and the Old Fourth Ward Park. We enjoy picnics and fun near the beltline.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost, I give all glory to God for giving me the entrepreneurial spirit to bring value to others. My wife, Shari Green, has been instrumental in encouraging me to share my knowledge and expertise with the world.
