Hiring a marketing consultant in Bangladesh

Organisations searching for the "best marketing consultant in Bangladesh" usually need someone who will stop a bad spend, not add another deck. Azizul Hoque Shiplu works from Dhaka with over twenty years' experience, including time at Ogilvy & Mather. A half-day diagnostic is typically BDT 45,000–80,000; campaign architecture BDT 1.5–4.5 lakh; monthly counsel BDT 80,000–2.2 lakh.

What "best" actually means for a consultant

Not the longest CV. It means someone who will name a bad decision out loud, in the room, even when it's the client's own idea. It means diagnosis before recommendation — a real half-day session and a written note, not a template deck reused from the last client. And it means proof, not adjectives: named campaigns with published results, not "extensive experience across sectors."

How to actually compare consultants

Four questions worth asking before signing anything. What specific spend have you told a client to stop, and can that client be named? What does your written output actually look like — can you show a real deliverable, not a description of one? Who reviews and approves the media plan once your recommendation is made — you, or someone else who never sees your reasoning? And what's excluded from the quoted fee — media spend, production, follow-on work — stated plainly before the engagement starts.

Proof, named

Xtreme Aerosol, Pran Potatos, Ring Chips, BIR Cement, Astha Life, Ashok Leyland / IFAD Autos, MK Electronics. He will not buy your media as a farm; he will say if the plan is overspending.
