About Me

Hello, I'm Rajan Watts, a Digital Marketing Manager specialising in affiliate marketing, media planning and social media management, with 14+ years across India's most competitive media markets.

I build and scale affiliate partner networks and plan multi-channel media campaigns — paid social, programmatic, affiliate and native — while managing organic and paid social media presence via Meta Business Suite, consistently improving CTR, CPA and ROAS for brands including Coursera, KFC, Pizza Hut, Popeyes, Navi UPI, Farmley, Subway, Bissell, HMSI, New Holland Tractors, KIA, Nissan, Air India and Uniqlo.

Now based in Frankfurt, actively building German language skills (A2/B1), and looking to bring that track record to an Affiliate Marketing, Digital Marketing or Social Media Management role in the DACH region.
