The story
Runs the search, content and experimentation work that starts the week a product ships, not six months later.
Sana came to growth from journalism, which is an unusual route and a useful one. She spent four years as a reporter before moving into content strategy, and she still approaches a keyword brief the way she would approach a story: what is the actual question, who is asking it, and what would a genuinely useful answer look like?
Why that matters now
Search results and AI answer engines have both converged on the same thing: content that answers the question directly and demonstrates real expertise. The thin, keyword-stuffed page is not just underperforming any more, it is invisible. Sana's work has looked the same for years; the industry moved toward it.

How a growth engagement runs
- Fix the measurement first — most analytics setups are quietly wrong
- Find the questions the audience actually asks, not the ones with volume
- Ship the smallest useful answer and watch what happens
- Double down on what moves, cut what does not, monthly
I have told two clients to stop paying us for paid search. Both are still clients. — Sana Iqbal
In their words
Launch is when the interesting work starts. Most people treat it like the finish line and wonder why nothing happens.
