Forward Pace office

Always moving forward.

A team of creatives, marketers and operators, turning good ideas into great brands for a global audience.

Our story.

A small team building direct-to-consumer brands for North American and European markets, one small improvement at a time.

  1. Where it began
    A few desks in a co-working space
    We started out in a shared co-working space, where every decision was a bet we couldn't afford to lose. That's where we learned to think before we spend.
  2. How we decide
    Narratives, not slide decks
    We retired PowerPoint. Ideas are now written out in full, read in silence, then debated in the room.
  3. The shake-out
    Still standing when others weren't
    Privacy changes and rising ad costs pushed many brands in our space out. We came through by getting measurably better, month after month.
  4. Today
    A home built for the long run
    Our own office in Petaling Jaya and a team focused on mastering its craft.

How we work.
01
Reliable, every time
When we commit to something, it gets done — not most of the time, but every time. Every action item is written down the moment it’s agreed, and followed through to the end.
02
Every decision is a bet
We list the arguments for and against, weigh them honestly, and size the bet to the evidence. The bigger the bet, the stronger the case has to be.
03
Focus on what moves the needle
Most of our hours go to breakthrough work, finding the next real improvement, rather than busywork. If something doesn't move us forward, we say no to it.
04
AI in every team
AI is built into how every team works. We use it to make each person on the team dramatically more capable. It replaces busywork, not people.
Small team. On purpose.
12people.
That’s the whole team.

Most of us have been here since the start, and we still hire when someone makes us better. The team has stayed at around 12 while revenue grew 400%.

01
No hierarchy, just ideas

Good ideas don’t need a job title. Whether you joined last week or came straight out of university, you’re expected to speak up — and to tell us when we’re wrong.

02
Your input shapes the outcome

Every idea goes on the table and gets weighed as a bet. The best one wins, whoever it came from — and it can go from conversation to action in the same week.

03
We grow revenue, not headcount

Instead of hiring more, we train deeper — and because the team stays small, everyone’s bonus grows as the business does.

Our values.
01
Consistent work ethic
Showing up with the same discipline on the hard days as the easy ones.
02
Outrun the lion
Move fast enough to stay ahead of whoever's chasing the same thing.
03
Think, weigh, make good bets
Weigh the upside against the downside first, then commit fully once you do.
04
Extreme ownership
When something goes wrong, own your part in it first — no blaming, no excuses.
05
Company, team, then me
We build for the business and team first, and trust individual success follows.
The bonus keeps climbing, every year.

From 7.2 months in 2023 to 12.8 in 2025 and 2026 is already on track to beat it again.

What you're probably wondering.
How does the bonus actually work?

We don't do a once-a-year bonus. Every month, you get paid a percentage on top of your base salary, tied to how the business performed that month. We're profitable, and we believe in sharing that with the people who help make it happen.

Is AI going to take my job?

We're deeply AI-centered — it's built into how every team works, and we train everyone to use it well. But AI doesn't replace people here; it replaces busywork. We're hiring people who can direct AI, not compete with it.

What happens after I apply?

If you're shortlisted, the first interview is online — just make sure you've got a working laptop, webcam, and stable internet. If that goes well, you'll come in for a second interview in person at our office.
