Zied Youssfi
Founder & AI Strategist — MBA, CPIM, Lean Six Sigma
I was born in Tunisia, where I earned my Bachelor's in Marketing from HEC Tunis. In 2010, I crossed the Atlantic to Canada — first to New Brunswick, where I completed a BBA in Operations Management and an MBA at the Université de Moncton, then to Vancouver where I built my career.
With 10+ years in business analysis across asset-intensive industries — transportation (TransLink), forestry (Western Forest Products, Canfor), distribution (BCLDB), and transit (BC Transit) — I learned that growth doesn't come from intuition. It comes from data, systems, and execution.
In 2025, I pivoted into AI — designing multi-agent systems for immigration (ImmiCase) and language education (LinguaLearn), while building KriftAI, my own AI platform. I saw firsthand how AI transforms businesses, and I founded Velora Digital Marketing to bring that same power to local businesses.
Why I Built Velora Digital Marketing
For years, I watched brilliant local businesses — therapists, lawyers, restaurants, artisans — struggle with digital marketing. They were excellent at what they did but invisible online. Marketing agencies sold them vague promises and reports nobody read.
I founded Velora Digital Marketing with one conviction: marketing should be a system, not a gamble. By combining my enterprise systems background, AI expertise, and the fact that I speak three languages (English, French, Arabic), I could build something different — an agency that delivers data, not promises.
Our first client went from 0 to 150+ Google keywords in 3 months. Referenced by ChatGPT in their niche. Automated lead capture 24/7. That's our proof it works — and now we're doing it for businesses across Canada and beyond.

Our Values
Structure Over Chaos
We believe that great marketing is built on systems, not one-off campaigns. Every action we take is part of a larger, intentional framework designed to produce consistent, compounding results.
Results Over Vanity
We measure success by revenue impact, not likes or impressions. Every strategy we implement ties back to real business outcomes — more customers, higher retention, and increased profitability.
Partnership Over Transactions
We do not see ourselves as vendors — we are growth partners. Your success is our success. We invest the time to understand your business deeply because surface-level marketing produces surface-level results.
