Meet Mitasha Haripal

Brand Stratergy & Digital Marketing Coach

Mitasha is a digital marketing strategist and marketing leader with extensive experience across brand, digital and performance marketing.
 
Having led digital marketing for major corporate brands before founding her own digital marketing agency, Mitasha brings a rare combination of strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
 
Her approach starts with the business, not the marketing channel. She immerses herself in the business to understand its objectives, challenges, customers and growth ambitions, then translates those priorities into marketing strategies and actions that can make a meaningful commercial impact.
 

Her expertise spans digital strategy, social media, paid media, content, SEO, websites, customer journeys and marketing performance, giving her the ability to connect the dots across the entire digital ecosystem.

Mitasha helps business owners move beyond simply “doing marketing” to understanding what their marketing needs to achieve, where to focus their efforts and how to use digital strategically to grow their business.

Mitasha’s marketing career has taken her across some of the most dynamic sectors of the South African economy. From B2B ICT, where she developed a strong understanding or marketing in complex, technology-led businesses, to B2C fashion retail, where she went on to lead digital marketing for Jet. 
 
This breadth of experience has shaped the way she approaches marketing today. She has worked across different business models, audiences and customer journeys, learning how to translate complex business objectives into marketing strategies that are relevant, measurable and commercially meaningful.
 
Her corporate career culminated in leading Digital Marketing at Jet within Edcon, giving her experience operating at scale, managing digital transformation and using digital channels to connect a major consumer brand with its customers.
 
In 2020, she took that corporate experience into entrepreneurship, founding clicked Digital and applying the same big-brand thinking to businesses of different sizes and across industries.
 
It is this combination of B2B, ICT, consumer, retail and entrepreneurial experience that allows Mitasha to look beyond individual marketing tactics and understand how marketing needs to work within the bigger business.
  • Business-to-Marketing Strategy - Turning business objectives into focused marketing strategies that drive growth.
  • Brand & Positioning - Defining what makes a brand matter, who it matters to and how to own that space.
  • Digital Growth & Performance - Using digital channels strategically to attract, convert and grow.
  • Customer & Audience Strategy - Understanding people deeply enough to turn attention into action.
  • Integrated Digital Marketing - Connecting channels, content and customer journeys into one cohesive strategy.
  • Marketing Leadership & Commercial Thinking - Bringing a business-first lens to marketing decisions that deliver real value.
  • Commercial Thinking - Connecting decisions back to growth, profitability and business outcomes.
  • Strategic Thinking - Seeing the bigger picture and turning complexity into a clear direction.
  • Business Acumen - Understanding how the business works before deciding what it needs.
  • Problem Solving - Getting to the real issue, not just treating the symptom.
  • Marketing Strategy - Turning business objectives into focused, actionable marketing.
  • Brand & Positioning - Making a business relevant, distinctive and memorable to the right audience.
  • Customer & Audience Insight - Understanding what makes people pay attention, engage and buy.
  • Digital Growth - Using the right channels and tactics to turn attention into measurable growth.
Beyond marketing, Mitasha is driven by curiosity and a love of experiences. She’s always on the hunt for the newest restaurant, a new destination or an experience worth trying, preferably with family and friends along for the ride.
 
She believes in staying active and regularly practices fitness and yoga, although she’ll be the first to admit that yoga doesn’t always love her back. 
 
And then there’s the attention to detail… Mitasha is famously particular about the little things,  some might even call it a touch of OCD .. which probably explains her party trick: ridiculously good handwriting. Give her a pen and she’ll happily prove it.
 
At her core, she’s someone who loves to experience life fully – curious, connected, a little particular, always up for something new and happiest when surrounded by good people, good food and great experiences.
  • Less guessing. More clarity. Know what to do, why you’re doing it and what to focus on.
  • No marketing waffle. Just practical advice that makes sense for your business.
  • Big-picture thinking. We look at your business first, then make marketing work for it.
  • Ideas into action. Turn “we should…” into “we did.”
  • Honest, straight-talking guidance. Not only about vibe checks but more about marketing that moves the needle.
