15 years of marketing, design, and development experience, in one senior partner
I'm Bilal Shafqat, a Dubai-based freelance digital marketer, developer, and designer. Companies usually hire an agency for marketing, a developer for the website, and a freelancer for design, then spend their own time managing the handoffs between them. I do all of it myself, which means one brief, one point of contact, and one person accountable for the result.
What I actually do
Four pillars that connect to each other, rather than four services sold separately.
How working with me is different
You work with me, not an account manager
The person you brief is the person who plans the campaign, writes the code, and designs the creative. Nothing gets translated through a middle layer and nothing gets handed down to junior staff.
No handoffs between disciplines
Most projects lose time and quality at the seams: the agency blames the developer, the developer blames the designer. Because all four disciplines sit with one person here, those seams do not exist.
Measured against pipeline, not impressions
Tracking gets set up before spend starts, so performance is reported as cost per lead and cost per acquisition rather than clicks, reach, and engagement.
