FDC in plain terms
A Dubai digital marketing agency built around qualified growth.
Forward Digital Consultancy (FDC) is a UAE-licensed digital marketing agency, co-founded by Faizan Riaz and Waleed Khan, with offices in Dubai and Karachi. It plans and runs paid media, SEO, social media, creative, video and websites for established businesses that need enquiries a sales team can close.
The founders each bring more than 12 years of experience, and the agency more than 10. That experience sits in a campaign dataset of 4,196 campaigns across 17 industries, which is what FDC plans budgets and targets from before a new campaign goes live.
The studio behind the campaigns produces 10,000+ creative assets every year, 2,500+ videos every year and 1,000+ webpages every year. See the work in the portfolio, or the results in the case studies.

What makes FDC different from other Dubai agencies?
