Social Media Management

Building a content rhythm brands can actually sustain

Organic strategy, content systems and community management for brands that need a consistent presence built around a clear platform strategy, not a burst of posts that fizzles out.

Clients shown

3 brands

Formats

Reels, carousels, LinkedIn

Peak reach

1M+ views on a single reel

Time to traction

1 to 2 months

The pattern across these accounts

Different industries, same root problem: inconsistent posting, no platform-specific strategy, and no system separating what should live on Instagram from what belongs on LinkedIn. Each engagement below started by fixing that structure before touching output volume.

AM Infoweb Healthcare Process Automation, Instagram & LinkedIn, USA and India

Reels crossed 1M views +

Instagram ↗ LinkedIn ↗

A healthcare process automation company with inconsistent social media and no clear positioning. We turned Instagram into a culture-driven hiring engine for India-based job seekers, and LinkedIn into a high-authority business presence for US buyers, each with its own content system.

The problem

Irregular posting with missed schedules and no structured ideation
No distinction between Instagram and LinkedIn strategy
Difficulty positioning for a US audience on LinkedIn

What we built

Separate content buckets: culture and CEO-led content on Instagram, case studies and thought leadership on LinkedIn
Weekly structured posting aligned across India and US time zones
PR and conference content repurposing, plus social listening across Reddit and Twitter

DesignHub Studio Interior Design & Architecture, Instagram, Dubai UAE

3 inbound leads, organic +

Instagram ↗

A UAE-based interior design and architecture firm with no active social presence for two to three years. We rebuilt Instagram from scratch as a premium visual portfolio built to convert high-value clients, not chase vanity metrics.

The problem

Dormant account with minimal historical engagement and low reach
Previously posted content lacked production quality
No clear positioning in a cluttered luxury market

What we built

Treated the rebuild as a portfolio exercise, not a growth-first play
Started at low posting frequency to rebuild algorithm trust before scaling
Clean, minimal, high-end editing style prioritizing perception over reach

Inbound client inquiries converted organically

For premium brands, social media is not always about reach, it is about perception. A well-structured visual portfolio can convert the right audience even with low volume.

Qutub Travels Pilgrimage Tours & Travel, Instagram, India

90+ inquiries in 2 months +

A niche travel company focused on Dawoodi Bohra pilgrimage tours, with no prior social media presence at all. We built their Instagram from zero into a community-focused content system designed to earn trust inside a tightly defined audience.

The problem

No account presence, no prior content, no platform strategy
Highly niche audience, hard to reach through generic content
Needed culturally aligned communication to build trust within the community

What we built

Educational, testimonial-driven and meme-style content tailored to the community
Heavy focus on influencer collaborations to penetrate the niche faster
Funnel-based content moving followers from awareness to direct inquiry

The pattern across these accounts

Strong products, zero system behind them. No ICP clarity, no funnel, no tracking. Each engagement below started with defining who the buyer actually is, then built the TOFU to BOFU funnel and the tracking stack around that answer.

Callbotics SaaS, AI Voice Agents for Healthcare, United States

$125,000 est. CLV +

A US-based SaaS company offering AI voice agents for healthcare RCM, with no prior paid marketing infrastructure at all. We built the entire performance marketing system: ICP, full-funnel LinkedIn strategy, ad execution and tracking.

The problem

No prior ad campaigns, no funnel, no tracking systems (pixel, analytics)
Website not optimized for conversions, no clear ICP or targeting clarity

What we built

Defined ICP with leadership: Director level and above, companies with 1 to 1000 employees
Full TOFU/MOFU/BOFU funnel on LinkedIn, supported by Google search and display
14-day free trial as the primary conversion offer, multi-level retargeting across engagement and site visitors

Performance marketing is not just about running ads, it is about building a complete system. When ICP clarity, funnel structure and tracking are aligned, even high-ticket SaaS products can generate consistent, qualified demand.

AM Infoweb Healthcare Outsourcing, RCM, United States market

Sales cycle: 24mo → 6mo +

A healthcare outsourcing company transitioning into RCM, relying entirely on manual sales with only two clients closed in six years. We built their performance marketing system from scratch: ICP, funnel architecture, ad execution and backend tracking.

The problem

No ad accounts, no funnel, no tracking, no clear ICP
Extremely long sales cycle of roughly 24 months, with only 2 clients acquired in 6 years

What we built

Account-based LinkedIn campaigns narrowed to Texas, California and Florida, targeting Director-level buyers
Three-phase funnel: awareness and data collection, retargeting conversion, then full TOFU/MOFU/BOFU optimization
Positioned RCM as a "Co-Managed" model to reduce outsourcing resistance

The Meat Avenue Restaurant Restaurant & Café, Meta Ads, Dubai

+175% direction clicks +

A Dubai restaurant aiming to increase footfall and late-night delivery orders, relying heavily on ineffective post boosting. We replaced that with a structured, geo-targeted, time-based direct-response ad system.

The problem

Heavy dependence on boosting posts with poor targeting and no conversion focus
Declining confidence due to low ROI despite strong content

What we built

Geo-targeted campaigns within a 10km radius of each outlet, time-segmented for late-night audiences
Direct-response model: ad to immediate visit or order, integrated with Talabat, Noon and Zomato
Eliminated boosting entirely, moved fully into Ads Manager for targeting and cost control

Results

+25%

Late-night delivery orders

For local restaurants, performance marketing is not about reach, it is about intent and timing. When campaigns align with location, behavior and consumption patterns, even small budgets can drive measurable impact.

BloomsBuryLane E-commerce, Flowers & Gifting, Dubai, UAE

3.4x ROAS +

An online flower and gifting brand serving Dubai and Abu Dhabi, running occasional Instagram post boosts with no product catalog, no dynamic ads and no plan for occasion-driven demand. We rebuilt the account around a live catalog, a delivery-radius calendar and a cart recovery flow.

The problem

No Meta product catalog or dynamic ads, only manual single-image boosts with weak targeting
No abandoned cart recovery, so same-day delivery orders were lost to faster competitors
Occasion demand (Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, anniversaries) went unplanned for and unbudgeted

What we built

Full Meta product catalog with dynamic ads pulling live stock, pricing and bestsellers
Occasion-based campaign calendar with same-day delivery radius targeting across Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Three-step cart recovery sequence across WhatsApp and email, triggered within 30 minutes of drop-off
Google Shopping layered on top of Meta to capture high-intent gifting searches

Revenue from recovered carts

For gifting and flower e-commerce, timing beats reach. Once the catalog, delivery radius and cart recovery are stitched together, occasion spikes stop being unpredictable and turn into the most profitable weeks on the calendar.

Fincount Solutions Accounting, Tax & VAT Advisory, Dubai, UAE

$45 cost per lead +

A Dubai-based accounting and VAT advisory firm generating leads entirely through referrals, with a website that had never captured a single form submission. We built a search-and-content funnel around the compliance questions their buyers were already searching for.

The problem

Zero paid or structured organic lead generation, fully dependent on referrals
No lead capture or tracking on the website, no visibility into which service line converted
Long, cautious buying process typical of tax and compliance decisions

What we built

Google Search campaigns built around high-intent UAE corporate tax, VAT and audit queries
A gated "UAE Corporate Tax Compliance Checklist" as the lead magnet, backed by a dedicated landing page
LinkedIn content amplification positioning the founder as a compliance voice, feeding warm traffic into the same funnel
GA4, Google Tag Manager and CRM pipeline so every lead was tagged by service line and follow-up owner

Email & WhatsApp Marketing

The pattern across these accounts

A cold email engine with no database, a 10,000-lead list going stale, and a fashion brand selling through disappearing WhatsApp stories. Three different starting points, all missing the same thing: a structured system instead of ad-hoc outreach.

CloudTalk SaaS, AI Voice Agents, Cold Email, United States

108+ signups in 2 months +

A US SaaS company wanted inbound interest through cold email but had no system in place. We built the entire cold email engine from scratch: database, segmentation, messaging and automation.

The problem

No database, no domain warming, no segmentation, no automation
Overly broad targeting across too many industries

What we built

Narrowed targeting to top-performing segments: Sales & Marketing, Healthcare, Insurance
Three-email flow: personalized outreach, automated Loom demo on reply, tracked CTA to sign up or book

Cold email is not about volume, it is about precision. When the right audience is paired with clear messaging and a low-friction CTA, even cold outreach can generate warm conversations.

Edu Plus Now EdTech, Email & WhatsApp, India

81% WhatsApp open rate +

An EdTech company sitting on roughly 10,000 mostly inactive leads with no segmentation or nurture system. We built a dual-channel conversational funnel across Email and WhatsApp to revive that database.

The problem

~10,000 leads collected over time but largely inactive, broadcast-style messaging with no funnel
No automation or nurturing system, messaging focused on selling rather than value

What we built

Segmented into students and professionals, then further by program and experience level
WhatsApp as the primary channel for students, Email as the primary channel for professionals
Flat 20% course discount plus a referral incentive, fully automated through Zoho CRM

+225% sales in 3 months +

A women's fashion and accessories brand selling entirely through disappearing WhatsApp stories, with no catalog and no way to scale. We built a complete WhatsApp Business commerce ecosystem instead of running campaigns.

The problem

No catalog or centralized product display, no automation, segmentation or lead capture
Reach limited by story content disappearing within 24 hours

What we built

WhatsApp Business API via AiSensy and WAPI, with Meta green tick verification
Full product catalog inside WhatsApp, segmented broadcast lists for retail versus wholesale buyers

CallBotics SaaS, AI Voice Agents, United States

10,000+ visitors in 2 months +

A US SaaS company with a newly built website but no SEO structure, visibility or traffic, in a niche with low search volume. We built a complete SEO and content framework from keyword strategy through technical fixes.

The problem

No keyword rankings or organic traffic, blogs existed but were unoptimized
Weak website architecture and technical gaps, low search volume niche

What we built

A local IT services business with zero online presence, relying entirely on offline referrals. We built the digital foundation from scratch: Google listing, a landing page, and local SEO.

The problem

IT services niche faced extra restrictions on Google, making approvals harder

AI Automations

Workflows that run without anyone babysitting them

Two automation systems built on two different platforms: Zapier for fast, connected everyday workflows, and N8N for deeper, self hosted logic that Zapier alone could not handle.

Systems shown

2 automation builds

Platforms

Zapier and N8N

Focus

Reporting, leads, follow up

Outcome

Manual steps removed

Two platforms, two different jobs

Zapier is fast to build and easy to maintain, so it handles the connective work: pulling data between tools, formatting reports, and moving leads along. N8N runs the workflows that need more control: multi step logic, conditional routing, and AI agent calls that a simple trigger and action tool cannot express. Both live inside DigitalTohfa's own operations, running daily across client accounts.

Client Reporting and Lead Ops Built on Zapier, DigitalTohfa agency operations

Multiple automations, one system +

Monthly client reporting and lead handling were both running manually: pulling numbers from ad platforms into spreadsheets by hand, then separately copying new WhatsApp and form leads into a tracker. Neither step needed a human doing the copying, so both got automated on Zapier.

The problem

Ad performance data pulled manually from each platform every month before reports could be built
New leads from WhatsApp and web forms logged by hand, with delays before follow up started
No single system connecting ad accounts, lead sources and the reporting sheet

What was built

A set of connected Zaps pulling spend and performance data into the standing report format on a schedule
A lead capture Zap moving new WhatsApp and form submissions straight into the tracker with owner and source tagged automatically
Notification triggers so a new lead gets flagged the moment it arrives instead of during the next manual check

Results

0

Manual copy paste steps left in monthly reporting

Same day

Lead logging instead of end of week batches

Hours

Saved weekly across reporting and lead entry

Most agency time loss is not strategy work, it is copying numbers between tools. Once that is automated, the hours go back into the work that actually needs a person.

AI Lead Qualification Agent Built on N8N, self hosted workflow

Always on, first response +

Inbound leads from WhatsApp and web forms were getting the same generic reply regardless of how qualified they actually were, and follow up only happened once someone had time to review the list. N8N runs the logic Zapier could not: reading each inbound message, checking it against qualification rules, and routing it before a human ever sees it.

The problem

Every inbound lead treated the same, regardless of budget, timeline or fit
Response time depended on when someone next checked the inbox
No structured way to route high intent leads ahead of casual inquiries

What was built

An N8N workflow that receives the inbound message, calls an AI model to read intent and extract key details
Conditional branching that scores the lead and routes it: high intent to immediate WhatsApp follow up, lower intent into a nurture sequence
Automatic logging into the CRM with the qualification summary attached, so no context is lost between the bot and the human handoff

Results

Minutes

First response time instead of next available check

Auto

Qualification and routing before human review

0

Leads lost to delayed manual triage

Zapier is enough until the logic needs branches and judgment calls. N8N is where automation stops being a shortcut and starts acting like a first responder.
