Brand & Marketing Builder

Saadat Hussain Raj builds brands, then builds the systems that keep building them.

Brand and marketing manager with a background in B2B SaaS and global consumer research. I also build my own things on the side, Promptly Market and GizmoJudge, using AI-assisted systems to power marketing and content at a scale one person can actually manage.

Experience

Where the thinking got tested

Two roles, one throughline: turn scattered effort into a system that compounds.

Current, since May 2026

Smart Food Safe

Brand Marketing Manager

Now I’m applying that same instinct at the source, on a global enterprise SaaS platform going through a full brand repositioning: new identity, a voice-and-tone playbook, and messaging rebuilt around what buyers actually care about. Leading a small cross-functional team across content, design, SEO, video and analytics, I built out a centralised CRM and attribution setup, and introduced an AI-assisted content workflow with a documented playbook, so the team can move fast without losing quality. Different industry, same underlying job.

Previous, 2024 to 2026

Toluna

Jumpstart Research Manager, Consumer Insights & Brand Strategy

Two years turning global consumer research into decisions Fortune 500 brands, Unilever, Netflix, L’Oreal, Amazon and Diageo among them, actually acted on. Twenty-plus multinational programmes taught me the same lesson over and over: insight is worthless without a system built to act on it. The cross-study synthesis framework I built there, later applied at scale for United Breweries, and the Power BI dashboards that cut client reporting turnaround by 25%, were both the same instinct: build the machine, not just the report.

Learning Projects

What I build to learn

The same systems thinking, sharpened through hands-on practice projects.

B2B

An AI marketing systems platform for small B2B teams

The problem

Most small marketing teams have adopted AI tools ad hoc: more content, no strategy behind it, no repeatable system underneath. Output goes up, quality does not.

What I’m building

Free, plain-English frameworks and a content-gate system that pairs AI drafting with a strict quality check before anything ships, so AI speeds up production without lowering the bar.

Who it’s for

Founders, marketing managers and small B2B teams who want a system instead of another tool to manage.

Where it lives

Content on X, LinkedIn and YouTube, distributed through Buffer, all pointing back to the site.

B2C

A verdict-first review site for home-office gear

The problem

Most gear-review sites either fake hands-on testing or bury a real answer under SEO padding. Buyers just want to know: buy it or skip it, and why.

What I’m building

Evidence-based reviews built on real specs and sourced research, so buyers get a straight answer without the SEO padding.

Who it’s for

Remote workers and home-office buyers deciding on monitor arms, desks, chairs and the rest of a workspace setup.

Where it lives

Short-form video on YouTube and Instagram, produced with AI-assisted tools and distributed through Zernio.
