The brief

QUBE was entering a saturated, extremely performance-driven Dubai market where lead prices fluctuate fast and vary widely across audiences, competitors test 50–100 hypotheses weekly, trust is harder to establish for newcomers even with a strong international background, and traffic quality is volatile. The developer needed a full-funnel strategy to validate its positioning and build a predictable flow of qualified leads while controlling acquisition costs from day one.

What we did

  • Redefined QUBE's value proposition for Dubai by analysing the competitive landscape in JVC, investor expectations, price-per-unit benchmarks, buyer behaviour across digital channels and the trust triggers required for new developers.
  • Built a B2B funnel for brokers and agencies with targeted outreach, tailored landing pages, event-driven presentations, and a broker proposition with sales scripts.
  • Built a B2C funnel for buyers and investors on Meta and Google Ads with segmented audiences (locals, expats, GCC, investors, foreign buyers), dynamic ads, retargeting and sequential storytelling entrances.
  • Designed and tested more than five specialised landing pages built around ROI for investors, location benefits for end-users, design and architecture, payment plans, and amenities and lifestyle.
  • Tested 100+ ad hypotheses across creatives (static, motion, 3D renders, storytelling), audience mixes, geo-segmented audiences across UAE, GCC and global, pricing versus lifestyle framings, CTA variations and funnel step sequencing.
  • Planned and coordinated project presentations in Dubai and international markets.
