About Rankital

A small team of operators, working global hours from Punjab

Rankital was founded in 2023 with one idea: brands in the US, UK and Europe should be able to hire senior media buying without paying senior agency overheads. Three years on, that is still the whole business model.

Our story

Started by a media buyer, not a salesperson

Rankital was founded in 2023 by Umar Farooq, after years of running paid campaigns for other people’s clients. The pattern was always the same: the person who won the account was rarely the person who ran it, and the reporting got prettier as the results got worse.

So we built the opposite. A small team where the people who pitch you are the people in the ad account every day. Pricing published on the website rather than extracted on a call. Reporting that shows spend, revenue and cost per acquisition in plain language, including the months that did not go to plan.

Since launch we have worked with brands and agencies including Snow, Uni Team Marketing, Evolvo Technologies, AZTAL and Quantum Quest. Almost all of that came from referrals and clients who stayed — which is the only growth metric we have ever really tracked.

Today the team works from Multan and Bahawalpur, on hours that overlap with the US, UK and European working day. Being based in Pakistan is what lets us put senior people on accounts that could not otherwise afford them. It is an advantage for our clients, and we are direct about it.

Who it is not for

Mission

To make measurable, profitable growth available to businesses that were told they needed a six-figure agency retainer to get it.

Vision

To be the performance partner international brands recommend by name — the team they mention when someone asks who runs their ads.

What we hold to

Five things we do not compromise on

Say the uncomfortable thing

If a channel is wrong for you, if the budget is too small, if the problem is your offer rather than your ads — you hear it from us early, not after three months of invoices.

Own the number

We hold ourselves to a cost per acquisition, not to activity. Hours worked and posts published are not results.

Nothing hidden

You own every account, every pixel, every piece of data. Pricing is published. Reports show what actually happened.

Ship, then improve

A campaign live this week beats a perfect plan next month. We launch, learn from real data and iterate hard.

Stay small on purpose

Growing headcount means junior people on senior accounts. We would rather take fewer clients and keep the work in experienced hands.
