About
One senior strategist, fully on your side.
No account managers, no handoffs, no jargon. Just 12+ years of hands-on marketing experience focused on your business.
A decade in Vancouver
Where I learned how this industry really works.
I’m Vikram Shivahare. I’ve spent more than 12 years in digital marketing. For ten of them I lived in East Vancouver and worked agency-side for a Vancouver agency, running campaigns for businesses across the Lower Mainland, and for clients elsewhere in Canada and the US.
I worked across Google Ads, SEO, social, websites and analytics, in many different industries. That breadth is what lets me see how the pieces fit together.
What frustrated owners
I saw the same problems again and again.
The jargon. The senior person who sells the account, then hands it to a junior. The reports that look impressive and explain nothing. Owners paying every month without knowing what they were getting.
None of it was necessary. I started Clear Growth Plans to do the opposite: senior attention, plain language and honest numbers.
Today · a global base
Same senior-level work. An honest reason it costs less.
I now run Clear Growth Plans remotely from India. I’m telling you that up front because a company called Clear shouldn’t hide anything.
Lower overheads mean you get big-agency depth without the big-agency price. You still get someone who knows the Vancouver market first-hand, and you always deal with me directly.
“Very few people can spot the dots that matter, and even fewer can connect them. That’s the job.”
Vikram Shivahare, founderHow I work
Four things I won’t compromise on.
Plain language, always
If you can’t understand what you’re paying for, I haven’t done my job. I explain what I’m doing and why, in words that make sense.
Senior attention, start to finish
You get me on your account: the person who reviews it, plans it, runs it and reports on it. Nothing gets quietly handed down.
The truth about the numbers
I’d rather tell you something isn’t working than keep billing you for it. Measurable results, honestly reported.
As involved as you want to be
Some clients hand everything over. Others want to be part of every decision. Both are fine. You choose, and you can change your mind.
Why “Clear Growth Plans”
A fixed point to steer by.
For centuries, sailors found their way by the North Star, because it stays put while everything else moves. That’s the compass in our logo, and it’s the promise behind the name.
Marketing shouldn’t feel like guesswork. You should always know where you’re headed, how you’re doing and what happens next. Find your clarity.
Let’s see if we’re a fit.
The first conversation is just that, a conversation. Tell me what’s going on and I’ll give you a straight answer.
