From the desk of
Syed Irfan Ajmal
Peshawar · Founded DMR.agency 2013

I started my career in tech, moved into sales, then found my calling in SEO and earned media. The questions have stayed the same since 2004: who reads what, what earns trust, why this story now. I lived and worked in Sweden and Denmark, then built DMR.agency from Peshawar into a practice serving clients across twenty-plus countries.

You can usually find me writing from Peshawar. Occasionally I am working remotely from California, Madinah, Kuala Lumpur, or Dubai Not all at once.
