What's different

Six reasons clients pick Makreate.

There are thousands of design and marketing agencies. We win the briefs we win for very specific reasons — most of them boring, all of them load-bearing.

🎯

Senior-only on every project

No "the senior pitches, the junior builds" routine. Every Makreate engagement is led by someone with 10+ years in their craft — and they stay on the project from kickoff to launch.

🧩

One integrated team, not five vendors

UX, branding, web, advertising and SEO under one roof. Your brand identity, your site, your campaigns and your search strategy all speak the same language because the same people built them.

📦

Weekly shippable artifacts

Every Friday you get something working — a clickable prototype, a live page, a campaign in the wild — not a status deck. Momentum compounds; status decks don't.

🔓

You own everything

Source files, code repositories, ad accounts, analytics, content. If you ever leave, you walk out with the work and the data. No "we host it for you" gotchas, ever.

📊

Honest reporting, not vanity metrics

Monthly reports show what we did, what worked, what didn't, and what we're changing. No cherry-picked screenshots — we share the dashboard, not a curated PDF.

⏱️

Cancel anytime — no lock-in

30 days notice is all we ask. No 12-month contracts, no buyout clauses, no "your data stays with us" hostage situations. We earn the next month, every month.

Guarantees

What we'll put in writing.

Specific commitments — not "we'll try our best" platitudes.

✓

First deliverable hits the brief — or we re-do it

For every productised service, if our first major deliverable doesn't meet the brief we mutually agreed at kickoff, we re-do it at our cost. No back-and-forth invoicing, no awkward conversations.

✓

30-day cancellation, no questions

Every ongoing engagement — SEO, advertising, outreach, retainers — has a 30-day cancellation clause. No 12-month lock-ins, no exit fees, no "but you agreed to X" surprises.

✓

You own the work, the accounts and the data

Source files, code repos, ad accounts, GSC, analytics, content — it all lives in your name from day one. We never hold anything hostage. Walk out anytime with everything.

✓

NDAs, IP and confidentiality, in writing

Every engagement is covered by a mutual NDA. All IP we create transfers to you on full payment. We never use your data, brand or work in our portfolio without your written permission.

Common questions

Anything else you'd want to ask first.

What makes Makreate different from other agencies?

We work as a single integrated team across UX, branding, websites, advertising and SEO — instead of forcing you to coordinate four different vendors. Every senior on the team has 10+ years at firms like BCG, Accenture, Old Mutual, IDFC, Oracle and Wipro. We staff senior people on every project (no junior bait-and-switch) and we ship working artifacts every week, not slide decks.

How long has Makreate been in business?

Founded by Murtaza in Dubai, Makreate has grown into a team operating across the UAE, India, UK and US. The leadership team brings 10–20 years of experience each — Murtaza (10+ years UX), Alan (20+ years tech), Fatema (15+ years UX), Sanchit (10+ years UX), Nafisa (20+ years product).

What kind of guarantee do you offer?

For productised services we offer a results-based guarantee: if the first deliverable misses the brief we agreed on, we re-do it at our cost. For ongoing engagements (SEO, advertising, outreach), we report transparently every month — and you can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. No 12-month lock-ins.

How many clients have you worked with?

100+ teams across the US, UK, UAE and India — ranging from solo founders and bootstrapped startups to enterprise teams at BCG (where Murtaza supported a year-long engagement), ADCB, FAB Bank, Tata, IDFC First Bank, Old Mutual and ICICI Bank.

Where is Makreate based?

Makreate IT Services Co LLC is a Dubai Mainland company headquartered in the UAE, with team members in London (UK), Mumbai (India) and New York (USA). We serve clients across all four markets and operate in their working hours.

Do you work with startups or only enterprises?

Both. Around 60% of our active clients are venture-backed or bootstrapped startups (fintech, SaaS, healthtech, real estate, B2B services). The remaining 40% are SMEs and enterprise teams. See our pricing page for productised packages priced for every stage.
