If you’re in Digital Marketing or SEO industry, you know the agency owners often face a critical challenge: finding reliable technical partners who can deliver consistent quality while understanding the unique demands of agency work. This case study explores how Nick Eubanks, founder of From The Future and a respected figure in the SEO industry, transformed his agency’s development challenges into a sustainable revenue stream through an innovative partnership approach.
Seven years ago, Nick faced common challenges that many agency owners will recognize:
In 2017, Nick began working with Rizwan, a developer who would later establish Titan Dev Agency. The partnership started with a simple premise: delivering high-quality WordPress and Laravel development for Nick’s agency projects. What set this collaboration apart was the deep understanding of agency needs and the commitment to maintaining consistent quality across all projects.
Rizwan is one of the most adept, and talented web developers I’ve had the pleasure of working with so far in my career. What stands out beyond his near meticulous detail for code cleanliness, is his constant desire to question the way things are designed or built. So many of our best code designs or overall stack solutions have come from his ability to ask questions and explore ideas. He is a true pleasure to work with and I’d recommend him any and every day.

As the relationship matured, both parties recognized an opportunity to create something more innovative. In 2021, when Titan Dev Agency was formally established, we launched a pilot referral program with Nick as our inaugural partner. This program was designed to solve several key challenges:
During this pilot program, this partnership has yielded significant benefits for both parties:
Beyond the numbers, the partnership has delivered substantial operational advantages:
Several factors contributed to the success of this partnership:
Based on the success of this pilot partnership, we’ve refined our referral program to include:
After refining this program with Nick as our exclusive partner, we’re ready to expand our network – but with a careful approach. We’re selecting a small group of agency owners and consultants who share our commitment to quality and long-term partnership.
Finding reliable developers is a massive pain point for any agency owner. When Rizwan approached me with this referral partnership, I was skeptical – most referral programs are garbage. But this is different. Not only do they deliver exceptional code quality, but I’m also generating serious passive income from projects I’d be outsourcing anyway. It’s a no-brainer. The fact that my development costs are often completely offset by referral earnings? That’s just icing on the cake. If you’re running an agency and not taking advantage of this, you’re leaving money on the table.
