Hi, I'm Daniel Ng.

About me

Who am I?
My name is Daniel. I’m a Growth Marketing professional with 10+ years of experience in Digital Marketing & Marketing Automation. I own the heart of a marketer and the brain of an engineer. I help international tech startups and SMEs grow with Digital Marketing and Growth Hacking solutions. I’m based in Helsinki, the beautiful capital of Finland.
I have worked in different positions at marketing agencies, tech startups and non-profit organizations in Finland and internationally. Over the years, I have honed a quite range of hard and soft skills that enable me to navigate complex situations and solve difficult business problems to achieve the desired business outcome in this ever-changing world. In everything I do, I want to bring value to customers, partners and community.
A digital citizen, I have left a few footprints on the internet. If you are interested in getting to know more about me professionally and personally, here are a few shortcuts:
GET READY!
"I have a dream..."
And I have a (rough!) plan to make it come true.
My ultimate goal is to become a Business Leader who can make the world a better place through the power of business. There are many ways one can change the world. For me, I choose to create real and lasting change through meaningful and impactful bussiness.
Throughout my career, I have gained vast experience in the world of marketing and business, going all the way from execution to planning to strategy. I have also been actively involved in numerous freelance and volunteer projects, which have strengthened my skills and business acumen.
It’s still a long way to go. But I’m happy I’m on the right track. And afterall, it’s not about the destination, but the journey I’m going through to become a better version of myself every day.
"The world keeps spinning..."
But something never changes: my passion for Marketing and Business.
I’m originally from Vietnam. I used to study Mechatronics at one of the top universities in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, but one day I realized I didn’t want to become an engineer. I want to become a businessman, one who can make a meaningful, impactful contribution to the society through business and make it a better place for everyone.
In 2013, I left Vietnam to Finland for a second chance to make things right. It was the biggest, and the best decision I have ever made in my life. I’m grateful for a new life I am able to create in Finland.
I made this animated video in 2016 when I was applying for my first internship in Finland. Years has passed by since then. Many things have changed, but something remains the same. Re-watching this video makes me smile every time – to realize how far I have gone and how much I have grown – as a proffessional and as a person.

Anatomy of a Strategy Workshop
It always starts from the fundamentals.
Before I start doing anything, I make sure I understand fully and correctly what is the business goal? Who are the target customers? How will our products/ solution solve their problems/ pain points? I get the information through a series of strategy workshops.
Strategy workshops are essential for any serious companies to define their business goals, identify opportunities and challenges, and create a roadmap to achieve long-term success. In these workshops, I have company leaders come together and pick their brains.

My Personality
Protagonist (ENFJ-A)
According to 16Personalities, The Protagonist is a charismatic and inspiring personality type who often feels called to serve a greater purpose in life. Protagonists feel a near-constant drive to expand, improve, and grow… often in the name of serving others. But it’s all too easy for Protagonists to feel lost when the results that they envision and strive for don’t manifest.
Protagonists are the personality type most likely to…
- know how others are feeling just by looking at them
- believe in karma
- actively volunteer
- defend someone who is being bullied
- consider themselves spiritual


My Super Power
Empathy
I have a natural ability to connect with people, understand their needs and concerns, and respond in a compassionate and effective way. This is extremely helpful for me to navigate difficult situations, resolve conflicts, and build strong relationships.
In a professional context, empathy helps me build strong relationships with colleagues, clients, and customers. When I am able to understand and connect with others on a deeper level, I am better able to anticipate their needs, communicate effectively, and build trust.
By putting myself in the customers’ shoes and understanding their pain points and concerns, I am able to provide solutions that meet their needs and exceed their expectations.
