Michael Chagala’s career began sweeping the server room floor as an unpaid intern at a software development company, later progressing from software engineer to digital marketing then leadership. Michael was an executive at one of the fastest growing companies in the United States helping bring a small energy company from $20 million annual revenue to nearly $70 as part of a small team of Directors.
While burning out from 20 years in the corporate world, Michael started Rank Harvest as a side-hustle. He started by advertising on Craigslist and doing all the work himself. He got up at 4am to work 4 hours before his day job, then another hour during lunch, 4 more in the evenings and 12 hours each on the weekends. He did this for several years until taking a leap of faith and quitting his day job; the rest is history.
Today, Rank Harvest is a full digital marketing agency that employs multiple full-time, part-time and contract workers. While the company’s main focus is direct, long-term engagements with businesses, Rank Harvest has sold over $2 million in digital marketing services on Fiverr. Rank Harvest has served over 4,000 customers since opening its doors in 2018.
