Dated proof, not promises
We show real client work with the dates left in and use the platforms' own metric names. We never promise a number of sales.

Our story
Why UpStream exists
Too many UAE businesses are sold their marketing in pieces: a website from one supplier, ads from another, a social account from a third, and nobody accountable for whether any of it brings enquiries. Umar Qaisar started UpStream in Sharjah in 2023 to fix exactly that: one connected team where the website, the content and the ads all pull in the same direction.
The name is the point. Most agencies go with the flow: they report vanity metrics, tie you into long contracts, and promise numbers they cannot control. We go against it. We show real, dated results, we keep the entry plan month to month, and we hand you full ownership of your accounts, code and content.
Today UpStream is a full-service team. Strategy, accounts and ads are led from Sharjah by Umar, and a remote production team handles design, content and development. Every piece of work is reviewed against the brief before it reaches you, and Umar signs off the strategy and the monthly numbers.
We are honest about what we can and cannot promise. A conversation is a warm enquiry, not a booking. Rankings move. Results depend on the offer, the budget and the market. What we hold ourselves to is the approach, the proof and the reporting, and we would rather show you a dated figure with its source than a claim you cannot check.
What we believe
Five things we hold to
You own everything
The ad accounts, the website code and the content are all in your name. If we ever part ways, you keep it all.
Approve before it goes live
Every plan, design and campaign is reviewed against the brief and signed off by you before anything is published.
WhatsApp-first
Enquiries land in a chat you can answer, and we reply within one working hour on working days.
Plain-English reporting
One monthly report that ties spend to enquiries, with the source of every figure. No jargon, no vanity metrics.

FAQ
About UpStream, answered
Where are you based?
We are licensed in Sharjah at the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP), and we serve businesses across Sharjah, Ajman, Dubai, the wider UAE and the GCC.
Do you have an office I can visit?
We meet clients in Sharjah by appointment rather than keeping a walk-in office. Most work is remote, and we come to you or arrange a meeting room in Sharjah when a face-to-face helps.
Who will work on my account?
Strategy, accounts and ads are led from Sharjah by Umar, and a remote production team handles design, content and development. Every piece of work is reviewed against your brief before it reaches you.
Do you work in Arabic and English?
Yes. We design and write in Arabic and English, and build right-to-left layouts where your audience needs them, so both read naturally rather than being machine-translated.
Do I own my website and accounts?
Yes. Your website, its code, your content and your ad accounts are all in your name, with no lock-in. You keep everything and its history if we ever part ways.
Do you work with small businesses?
Yes. Plans start from AED 499 a month and a Business Website is AED 999. We start small, prove what works, and scale only what earns it, so a small budget is not wasted.
Want a team that goes against the flow?
Send a short brief and we will reply on WhatsApp within one working hour. Starter Social is AED 499 a month, a Business Website AED 999, and All-in-One AED 1,999 a month.
