SF Digital Studios

What SF Digital Studios does

SF Digital Studios is a UK-based digital marketing agency founded in 2002 and operated by co-founders Farzana and Uzair Kharawala from Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. The company delivers Google Ads management (search, display, video, shopping, remarketing, and mobile ads), video production and marketing, website design, and content creation, primarily to small and medium-sized businesses and e-commerce operators. It is an official Google Partner (agency ID 6103415082) and Google Premier Partner 2026, a YouTube Certified operation (Uzair Kharawala), and a Shopify Partner, positioning it inside the official ecosystems of the three platforms that anchor its service portfolio. The agency also maintains a subscription education product called Traffic Leads Conversions (TLC) on the Skool platform at $97/month, offering weekly coaching, bite-sized training, and a proprietary "Lighthouse Framework" to small business owners worldwide.

The business generates revenue through two streams: (1) professional services fees for agency engagements with SMBs and select enterprises across the UK, USA, UAE, India, Tanzania, and Argentina, and (2) recurring subscription income from TLC. Go-to-market is dual-mode: a sales-led motion for direct agency contracts, layered with a community-led motion in which a YouTube channel (sfdigital) with daily weekday uploads and a 70+ post blog feed free training content that converts viewers into TLC members or agency prospects. Farzana's prior campaign work for Unilever, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Orange, and Van den Bergh Foods underpins the company's brand credentials, and Uzair's role on Clarion Events' Traffic & Conversion Agency Advisory Committee provides event-stage visibility. Visible integrations span Pipedrive, ClickMagick, ClickUp, SEMrush, TikTok for Business, Unbounce, Xero, and American Express, several of which appear to be monetized via affiliate referral arrangements on the company's blog.

No external funding, acquisitions, leadership hires beyond the founding pair, or subsidiaries are disclosed. The company is private, founder-owned, bootstrapped, and remains small by disclosed headcount (two founders), which constrains capacity for scaling large enterprise engagements despite the credentialed brand. Revenue figures are not disclosed.
