Start a buildE-commerce, AI marketing and LinkedIn growth.
The numbers, not the pitch.
Most stores here lose money in the same three places: payments that do not work, orders refused at the door, and ads judged on revenue nobody ever collected.
A small studio by design, so we take on a few brands at a time. You work with the people doing the work, never an account manager.
Each one says what we would do, how long it takes and what it costs.

LinkedIn written in your voice, from thirty minutes of your time a month. The same work is what gets you named when someone asks an AI about your category.
Monthly, ongoing · from $499 a month
Start on LinkedInWith cash on delivery, some customers change their mind at the door. The box comes back. You still paid the driver out, the driver back, and the ad that won the order. Move the sliders to see the size of it.
Nothing is sent, nothing is stored, no email required.
Sales you lose in a year
$57,600
That is $4,800 a month in products that leave your shelf, travel to the customer, and come back unsold. The delivery cost and the ad spend are on top of it.
Worked out on 15 to 25 percent of cash on delivery orders being refused, taken at the middle. That range is our own number from running Lebanese stores, not a published statistic, and the full workings are in the calculator methodology. Your real rate will differ.
Every project runs the same way, so you always know which step you're on.
A paid diagnostic: what is wrong and what each fix is worth. Yours whether you hire us or not.
One call. The two or three fixes with the biggest return, priced and dated. No retainer you cannot leave.
Progress every week in a shared link, not a slide deck at month end.
Ads come after the store converts. Spending into a store that leaks is how most money is lost here.
WhatsApp replies, order updates, the same twenty questions. A person stays in charge of anything that costs money.
Case study
A store built, a store found, a founder made visible. The same three jobs we sell, done for clients who let us publish the numbers.
7x
return on paid acquisition for Homepal, eight months from nothing to a live UAE operation with its own logistics.
Published with the client's permission. Figures as at handover.
No store, no entity, no shipping. We built all three, then ran ads once the unit economics held. Their own team runs it today.
Read the full case study6
first page positions in Lebanon for JAK Computers and Hamdan Electronics, four of them in the top four.
Published with both clients' permission. Checked from Lebanon.
Two Beirut retailers, real stock, real demand, and pages a search engine could not read. The case study prints the search terms so you can check every position yourself.
See the rankings and check them yourself42
international brands, from nine countries, now listed by Ecua Market in Malabo. We built the outreach system their team runs to open brand conversations.
Brands counted from Ecua Market's own published list. Published with the client's permission.
The problem was never demand. It was reaching the export managers who decide where a brand lands. We built the LinkedIn pipeline that does it. Their team runs it now.
Read how the pipeline was builtAsk an assistant who to hire for Shopify in Lebanon and a name comes back. Someone is winning that recommendation, in a conversation you are never part of. Two things decide whether it is you: what gets published under your own name, and whether your site can be read by the thing doing the recommending. We do both.
Thirty minutes of your time a month. We interview you, write from your actual opinions, and you approve every post before it goes out. Nothing is invented and nothing is generic, because a post under your name is the thing a buyer reads before they call you, and the thing an assistant quotes when it names a person.
Impressions are reach, not revenue. We report meetings booked beside them, because that's the number that pays for the work.
How the LinkedIn work runsAn assistant can only quote what it can actually read. So your answers go into the page itself, never behind a click or a tab that loads later. Every page carries the structured data that tells a machine what it is looking at, in Arabic as well as English. And your Bing listing gets set up properly, because ChatGPT search and Copilot read Bing's index rather than Google's, so a site that is only tuned for Google is invisible to both.
Don't take our word for it
Ask an AI who to hire for Shopify in Lebanon, or what cash on delivery really costs a Gulf store. If our work is doing its job you'll see us in the answer, with our figures.
Things that actually move what a store here earns. We write one when something real happens, not on a schedule.

Microsoft Offered 60,000 Buyouts. It Did Not Blame AI.
Microsoft opened a voluntary exit offer to about 60,000 staff on 26 October 2026. The headlines called it AI replacing workers. Microsoft's own memo says the opposite, and the mechanism underneath is capital allocation, not automation.
