Hi, I’m a husband, database marketer, growth hacker and storyteller.

Masibu-Manima-bw

I’m passionate about data, growth hacking, people and checkered shirts.
I run a digital media network called 8ighty20, which has helped scale ideas into award winning digital projects – attracting audiences of 40,000+ a month. I have been fortunate enough to have our work featured in the national press including: The Guardian, BBC 1xtra, FT and Complex.

I enjoy sharing my experience in the field of growth hacking, community building and lesson learnt, through talks at universities across the UK and online courses.

I created 8ighty20 to help creatives and entrepreneurs grow their online communities, by driving visibility and engagement through specialist growth strategy and hacks.
