How we are different

Three things that decide whether an agency is worth it

Most agency pages describe the same services in the same words. These are the differences that actually change what you get.

If a proposal does not address these, it is not a proposal you can hold anyone to

  1. Design, build and growth in one team

    The expensive failures in this industry happen at hand-offs — between the studio that designed it, the developer who built it and the media buyer spending against it. We do all three, which means nobody gets to blame the other two, and the person who scoped your work is the person doing it.

  2. We report the number your P&L recognises

    Impressions, reach and MQL counts are easy to grow and easy to hide behind. We agree the metric that matters to your business before spend starts — booked appointments, funded accounts, qualified viewings, pipeline created — and report against that, including when it is not moving.

  3. We will tell you a channel is not worth your budget

    An agency that recommends everything it sells is not advising you. Some of the most useful conversations we have end with us talking a client out of a retainer, or telling them the constraint is their onboarding rather than their advertising. That is cheaper for you and it is why clients stay.

What we do

Design, build and grow

Twelve services across three disciplines. Most clients start with one and add the others once the reporting proves it is worth it.

What we believe

Four values, and what they actually cost us

Every agency publishes values. These are ours, in the words we already used before this website existed — and what each one means when it is inconvenient.

Passion

We believe personal growth matters as much as our own company's growth, because remarkable people build remarkable companies. In practice that means we hire for curiosity over credentials and we give people work slightly beyond what they have done before.

  • The people who scope your work are the people who do it
  • No juniors learning on your budget without someone senior alongside

Courage

We are not governed by fear. Brave, informed decisions grounded in data and fact are what we are here for. The uncomfortable version of that is telling a client their campaign is not the problem, or that a channel they like is not earning its budget.

  • We say when a channel is not worth your money
  • We show the experiments that failed, not only the ones that worked

Respect

We believe in a world where people want the best for one another, so we do our utmost to show real respect to our planet, to each other and to our clients. That includes respecting your time: shorter meetings, written findings, and no reporting theatre.

  • Findings written down, so you can read them without a call
  • Your data and your accounts stay yours, always

Fun

Life is too short to be boring, and that applies at work too. Having fun boosts creativity, so we never turn down a laugh. It also makes the hard conversations easier, which is the part nobody mentions.

  • Direct, human communication rather than account-management padding
  • A team you would actually want in the room

Where we work

Two offices, one team

Dubai and Stockholm, working across the UAE, the wider GCC and Europe — with fifteen years of work behind us in retail, FMCG, fintech, edtech, healthcare and start-ups.

  • 01

    Dubai

    Our UAE base, and where most of our client work sits — healthcare, real estate, retail and B2B across the Emirates.

  • 02

    Stockholm

    Our European base. Meniga, Permizon, PaceUP! and Seatech all came through this side of the business.

  • 03

    HubSpot Partner

    Certified, and it matters: most of what decides whether a lead becomes revenue happens after the click.

  • 04

    A senior team

    Small enough that you know who is doing your work, experienced enough that they have done it before.

How we work

Four steps, no guesswork

01

Growth health check-up

A full read of where you are — search visibility, campaign performance, funnel and where enquiries leak. You get the findings written down whether or not you go on to work with us.

02

Analysis and strategy

We size the demand that actually exists for what you sell, then decide which channels earn budget and in what order. Including the ones that do not.

03

Implementation

Campaigns, pages, tracking and CRM built and shipped by the same team that scoped them, with reporting agreed before spend starts.

04

Evaluation and optimisation

Reviewed on a fixed cadence against the metric we agreed, so budget follows what works rather than what is easiest to report.

Stage 01 / 04

Who runs it

Founded and led by Ehsan Khorsand

Ehsan has spent the last decade as a growth advisor, investor, mentor and public speaker, and still contributes to other founders trying to scale globally. Clients name him directly in their testimonials, which is unusual enough in this industry to be worth mentioning.

You work with the people who sold it to you

No account layer between you and the team doing the work. The person in the pitch is in the delivery.

Fifteen years of pattern recognition

Across retail, FMCG, fintech, edtech, healthcare and start-ups — which mostly means we have already made the expensive mistakes.

Two markets, genuinely

Dubai and Stockholm. Arabic and English. GCC and European clients, with the differences understood rather than assumed away.

Regulated categories are normal here

Healthcare under DHA rules, property under Trakheesi, financial services under CBUAE, SCA, DFSA and VARA. We plan for the rules rather than discovering them.

About Adnika

Questions people ask before they call

The things worth knowing before you spend an hour on a first meeting.

Growth-oriented companies that already have something working and want it to work harder. Across fifteen years that has meant retail and FMCG, fintech, edtech, healthcare, real estate, B2B and start-ups, in the UAE and across Europe. We are less useful to businesses looking for the cheapest possible execution of a plan they have already fixed.

Small and senior by design. The people who scope your engagement are the people who deliver it — there is no account layer translating between you and whoever is really doing it, and no juniors learning on your budget without someone experienced alongside them.

Both, and the honest answer is that it depends on whether the work compounds. Campaigns, SEO and lifecycle marketing get better with continuity and suit a retainer. A website build, a rebrand or a CRM implementation is a project with an end. We will tell you which one your problem is rather than defaulting to whichever is better for us.

Frequently, and it is often the better arrangement. A common split is that we handle strategy, tracking, the technical build and the specialist channels while an in-house team owns content, social and customer relationships. The growth check-up usually makes the right division obvious.

It scales with scope, how many channels are in play and how much production the work needs — so we scope from a growth check-up rather than quoting blind. Two things we will always do: separate media spend from our fees, and name the metric the engagement will be judged on in writing.

It is a structured read of where your growth actually stands: search visibility, campaign performance, funnel and the points where enquiries leak. You get the findings written down whether or not you go on to work with us — that is deliberate, because it is also how we work out whether we would be useful to you.

You do, always. Ad accounts, analytics, CRM and domains stay in your name with us given access, not the other way round. If we stop working together you keep everything, including the tracking setup and the documentation. An agency that holds your accounts hostage is telling you something about how confident it is in the work.

Yes, and we treat it as a first-class requirement rather than a translation step at the end. Right-to-left is a layout problem, not a language toggle, and machine-translated copy reads as careless at exactly the moment someone is deciding whether to trust you.

Measurement and the obvious leaks first. Before we recommend spending anything, we want the tracking to be trustworthy and the fixable friction — response times, broken flows, dead pages — dealt with. It is unglamorous, it is usually the cheapest gain available, and it makes every subsequent dirham of media work harder.

We say so, early, with the numbers. The failure mode in this industry is an agency that keeps reporting activity while the metric that matters stays flat. We agree that metric before we start precisely so the conversation has somewhere to go when it is not moving.
