From geo-targeted lens filters to captivating video campaigns on Snapchat's highly engaged Gulf audience.
From geo-targeted lens filters to captivating video campaigns, we help brands make a lasting impression on Snapchat's highly engaged audience. Think fast, fun and unforgettable, tailored for the platform's unique culture.
Snapchat is the platform Gulf nationals open first. In the UAE and Saudi Arabia it reaches a young, local, Arabic-speaking audience that Instagram and TikTok only partly cover: Emirati and Gulf users aged 18 to 34, who watch stories daily, trust creators they follow, and buy perfumes, fashion, food, beauty and cars from brands they see there. If your customers are local and under 35, Snapchat is not an optional channel.
We run Snapchat campaigns the way the platform rewards: vertical, full-screen, sound on, quick to the point, and in the Arabic your audience actually speaks. Our team in Sharjah writes the Arabic and English copy, briefs the creatives, and builds the targeting from Snapchat's own audience tools, from your customer lists and from the people who already engaged with your Snaps.
Formats are chosen by objective. Snap Ads (single image or video) carry offers and app installs with a swipe-up to WhatsApp, a store or a form. Story Ads place a branded tile in the Discover feed and open into a sequence of three to twenty Snaps, which suits product launches and menus. Collection Ads show four tappable products under the video and work for perfume, fashion and beauty stores with a catalogue. AR lenses and filters put your brand on the user's face or in their location, which is how restaurant openings, events and perfume launches get shared rather than just seen.
Measurement is set up before any budget is spent. We install the Snap Pixel on your site or store, connect the Conversions API through your platform or a server-side tag, test the page view, add to cart, purchase and lead events, and build the retargeting audiences from them. Without this the account optimises for swipes; with it, it optimises for sales.
Targeting in the Gulf is precise on Snapchat: by country and city, by age and language, by Snap Lifestyle Categories (beauty mavens, foodies, car enthusiasts), by lookalikes of your buyers, and by radius around your branches for a lens or a local offer. We separate Emirati audiences from expatriate audiences, test creatives against each, and shift budget to the combination that brings the cheapest real result.
Management is priced like our other platforms: 30% of the monthly ad budget with a minimum of AED 900, so a budget up to AED 3,000 costs AED 900 a month to manage. The ad budget is paid by you to Snapchat from an ad account in your name, and the report at the end of the month shows spend, results and cost per result in your language.
