  • Afzan Abu Bakar

    Nor Afzan Binti Abu Bakar or simply Afzan — is a passionate marketer who believes that great marketing starts with strong branding. For her, branding isn’t just about visuals or logos — it’s about creating a lasting impression that people remember, even years later. She often says, “Branding is long-term. Once people know your brand, they’ll always recognize it.”

    Afzan manages social media accounts for clients, helping them grow their presence, build engagement, and communicate their message effectively. She understands how important it is for every post, caption, and design to reflect the identity of a brand — because consistency is what builds trust.

    In addition to marketing, Afzan also creates websites. Her platform of choice is WordPress, because it gives freedom and flexibility without needing complex coding. Although she doesn’t come from a developer background, Afzan has mastered the art of building complete and professional websites — from layout planning and content setup to SEO optimization and branding integration.

    Her strength lies in combining creativity with strategy. She loves finding simple but effective ways to make businesses look more professional online. For Afzan, every project — whether it’s social media management, website creation, or brand development — is a chance to help someone turn their ideas into something real and impactful.
