Serial entrepreneur Saqib Malik was only born in 2000 but is already leading the way in the century’s digital marketing. He is the founder of Prestige Perfections, an agency whose high-profile clients have already included the likes of Pitbull, Janet Jackson, DJ Shadow, Warner Bros, ESG, and a heap of others. He’s also started up a range of other businesses, including news portal Clout News, diamond jewellery business Ice for Clout, and web hosting venture Hosting Vendor. His success is the confirmation of his belief in the balance between “smart work” and hard work.

Malik is from England and began working as a full stack developer at a very young age. As a teenager, he became interested in music production, but it was marketing music through social media and other online forums that he began to find one of his many niches. He set up Prestige Perfections and his other businesses in 2019 — whilst he was still studying for his A-Levels in Business and Finance. Prestige’s quickfire success has brought Malik and his talents into the limelight too, with his story being featured on many leading business and entrepreneur websites.

For someone who only started university in 2020, Malik’s business philosophy has the simple wisdom of someone with a lifetime of experience. He terms himself a “forever student”, always looking to learn new things and stay up-to-date with the latest nuances in modern marketing and advertising. He also emphasizes the power of building connections, something that he will continue to do with ever greater success as his business empire grows.
