What our clients say

Working with Amir and the team has been a great experience. They have an exceptional eye for design, a very high level of taste, and consistently delivered thoughtful, high-quality work. Communication was always smooth, they were proactive, receptive to feedback, and genuinely cared about creating the best possible outcome. I couldn’t be happier with the collaboration and would absolutely work with them again.

Bobby Offterdinger, Founder of TAM to Target

We’ve worked with ALIF for over a year now, and they’ve been one of the biggest drivers behind how we grow today. The team’s hard-to-find mix of curiosity, creativity, and technical acumen really makes them standout from other agencies I’ve worked with. The work they’ve done on our site and in AirOps sent our rankings for top AI search terms skyrocketing in about two and a half months. Easily one of the best investments we’ve made at TAM to Target.

Jelena Brajovic, Founder of Nomads Haus

I’ve had the pleasure of working with ALIF for over a year, and they have been an incredible creative marketing partner throughout our collaboration. The team is smart, talented, highly creative, and extremely professional in everything they do. They have an exceptional eye for branding, marketing strategy, content creation, and visual storytelling. Beyond creativity, ALIF simply understand how to turn ideas into impactful campaigns that strengthen brand presence and connect with the right audience.

Anja Zunjic, Co-Founder of ANeMA

Working with ALIF on ANONA was the easiest part of building this brand. Kaya and the team took a loose idea and turned it into a complete identity, a logo, a pattern, and a palette that feel unmistakably ours. Every application came back considered and finished, down to the postcards. They listened closely, moved quickly, and pushed back when it made the work better. I would trust them with whatever comes next.

Bart Chapot, Founder of Uluwatu Property

When I started looking for a digital marketing partner, I really struggled to find people who were both competent, reliable, and genuinely available. That’s exactly what I found with Amir, Kaya, and the ALIF team. Beyond the quality of their work, what I appreciate most is their responsiveness and the weekly meetings, which allow us to review the results, adjust the strategy, and always know where we are going. I’m genuinely very happy with our collaboration and would definitely recommend them.

Matias Mangas, Founder of Altoura

Working with ALIF on our web launch was a great experience from start to finish. They felt more like a partner than a vendor; they went above and beyond to support us, were incredibly flexible and accommodating with our requests, and made the whole process easy. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner for Altoura’s launch.

Patricia Stuart, Founder of MULD

MULD existed before ALIF, but it didn’t look like itself until they got involved. They gave us a word-mark with real character and carried it through everything we hand to customers, the packaging, the cards, the stickers, even the tote. Nothing feels like an afterthought. The process was straightforward, deadlines held, and every feedback round made the work better. If you care how your brand feels in someone’s hands, this is the team.

Communication was always smooth, they were proactive, receptive to feedback, and genuinely cared about creating the best possible outcome.

Evelin, Founder of EEVE

Working with Kaya was such a great experience. She has an exceptional eye for aesthetics, a very personal approach, and a level of professionalism that made the whole process feel effortless. As I was building EEVE from the ground up, I didn’t have complete clarity yet: even the name and visual direction were still evolving. I’m especially grateful that they never rushed my decisions, gave me space to change my mind, and were always willing to talk things through...

Working with brands that matter

Blog.

Marketing approaches, launched work and the thinking behind it; written by the people doing it, not a content farm.

Faq.

What does ALIF actually do?

Everything a brand needs to launch and grow, under one roof: branding and identity, web design and development, digital advertising, SEO and GEO, UI/UX, social media, content production and marketing strategy. Most clients combine two or three.

How long does a project take?

Brand identity runs 3–5 weeks, websites 4–8 weeks depending on scope, and growth work is structured in monthly sprints. Every proposal carries a committed timeline before we start.

Do you work with startups or established businesses?

Both. We take early-stage brands from zero to launch and help established companies rebrand, rebuild and scale. The only requirement is ambition and a decision-maker at the table.

How is pricing structured?

Fixed-scope projects are quoted upfront; growth work runs on transparent monthly retainers. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, and ad spend always sits in your own accounts.

How do we get started?

Book a free 30-minute discovery call. You will leave with an honest audit and a clear next step, whether or not you end up working with us.

Are you a branding agency or a digital marketing agency?

Both. ALIF is a full-service branding and digital marketing agency in Dubai: we build the brand, the website and the growth engine behind it, so strategy, design and performance sit with one team instead of three suppliers.

Do you work with brands outside Dubai and the UAE?

Yes. We are based in Dubai and work with brands across the Gulf, Europe and the US. Calls run on your time zone, and every project has one senior point of contact.

What is GEO, and do you offer it alongside SEO?

GEO, or generative engine optimisation, makes your brand the one AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name when buyers ask for a recommendation. We run it alongside classic SEO, so you rank in Google and get cited in AI answers.

What happens on the free discovery call?

A founder joins, not a salesperson. We look at your brand, website and channels, tell you honestly what is holding growth back, and outline a clear first step. It takes 30 minutes and costs nothing.

Who will we work with day to day?

One senior point of contact who owns your account, backed by specialists in design, development, paid media and SEO. You get a written update every Friday and a call whenever a decision needs you.

Can you work alongside our in-house marketing team?

Often that is the best setup. We take on strategy, design and production; your team keeps what it knows best. We agree the split and the handover points in the first week.

Do we own the work, the website and the ad accounts?

Yes. Source files, the website, ad accounts and analytics are yours, and everything is built inside your own accounts, so nothing is locked to us.

How long does a brand identity project take?

Three to five weeks for most brands: an immersion week, then positioning, identity design and brand guidelines, with a review at every stage.

How long does it take to design and build a website?

Four to eight weeks, depending on scope and how ready the content is. A focused marketing site sits at the shorter end; a larger CMS-driven site with integrations at the longer end.

How quickly will we see results from SEO and paid ads?

Paid ads give first data within days and a reliable signal in two to four weeks. SEO and GEO compound more slowly: technical fixes move things in weeks, and rankings on commercial terms usually take a few months.

Can you work to a fixed launch date?

Yes. Tell us the date on the first call. We plan backwards from it and confirm in the proposal whether it is realistic before you commit.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on scope, not page count. A focused marketing site and a larger CMS-driven build sit in different ranges, and you receive a fixed quote after the discovery call, before any work starts.

Do you offer fixed-price projects or monthly retainers?

Both. Brand and website projects are fixed-scope with a fixed quote. Ongoing work such as SEO, GEO, paid media and social media runs on a monthly retainer you can scale up or down.

What is the minimum ad spend to work with you?

Below roughly USD 5,000 a month in media there is not enough data to test properly, so that is where we usually start. Ad spend is paid directly into your own ad accounts, separate from our fee.

Is the first consultation free?

Yes. The 30-minute discovery call, and the honest audit that comes out of it, are free, with no obligation to work with us.
