The brief
Build broad awareness quickly in a crowded lifestyle and entertainment space, reach youth and interest-based audiences rather than low-quality mass traffic, balance regional visibility with performance in the priority UAE and KSA markets, identify which channels, creators and languages work best, and turn visibility into registrations and attendance while keeping acquisition costs efficient.
What we did
- Worked with 11 influencers whose combined potential reach was approximately 3.1 million followers, using content integrations and story placements without paid amplification.
- Secured 12 paid publications and 38 organic placements across media and social platforms, including Gulf News, Khaleej Times, Lovin' Dubai, Layaina, Al Qiyady and UAE Moments.
- Ran performance campaigns on a total ad budget of 17,877.76 AED, reaching more than 230,000 unique users at stable frequency.
- Tested four audience groups in Dubai — anime fans, gamers, cosplay communities and art audiences — with English and Arabic creatives, then moved the main lead generation focus to English after Arabic tests proved substantially more expensive.
