Why hire one marketer instead of an agency

Agencies in Dubai are built for big accounts. You pay for account managers, office space in a free zone tower and a team you rarely speak to. For a startup, a restaurant, a clinic, a consultancy or a growing e-commerce brand, that overhead often costs more than the work itself.

Working with me is simpler. You talk to the person who writes the copy, designs the page, edits the video and sets up the ads. There's no hand-off between departments, so things move faster and nothing gets lost in a brief.

Side by side

Agency vs. working with me

Typical agency

  • Monthly retainer, often with a minimum term
  • Account manager between you and the work
  • Separate teams for design, content and ads
  • Pricing built around overhead

Lohith, freelance in Dubai

  • Fixed quote in AED per project, or a small monthly scope
  • You speak to the person doing the work
  • Design, content, ads and tracking in one place
  • Freelancer rates, no office overhead

How pricing works

I don't publish a rate card because a two-page site and a full launch are very different jobs. What I do instead is give you a fixed price in AED before anything starts, based on a short call or a written brief. No hourly surprises, no retainer you have to cancel.

  • Fixed quotes in AED, agreed before work starts
  • Start small: one landing page, one deck or one month of content
  • Freelancer rates, typically well below agency retainers for the same scope
  • Payment in stages for bigger projects

Who I work with

Mostly small and growing businesses in Dubai and across the UAE: founders preparing to raise, local service businesses that need more enquiries, brands launching a new product, and teams that have a marketer but need someone to build things fast. I work in English, in person in Dubai or remotely.

Questions people in Dubai ask

It depends on the scope. I quote a fixed price in AED per project after a short brief, and freelancer rates are usually well below an agency retainer for the same work. You can start with one small piece, like a landing page or a month of social content.
Yes. Most of my work is with startups and small to mid-sized businesses in Dubai and the UAE.
Both. I can take one job, like a website or a pitch deck, or run the full loop: content, website, ads and tracking.
Yes, I'm based in Dubai and can meet in person. I also work remotely with businesses across the UAE.
