Big-brand media buying. Without the big-brand bill.
Start at your scale
We match the platform to the budget. Many campaigns start on Google Ads and social, with no platform fees, and move into DV360 programmatic once the plan calls for it.
We run it, or run it with you
Hand over the whole campaign, or keep your in-house team involved while our specialists handle setup, audiences and day-to-day tuning.
Numbers that mean something
A live dashboard built around your goals (reach, completed views, site visits and sales), plus a plain-English review with your account lead.
Platforms
The right platform for the budget. Not one platform for everyone.
We start where your budget works hardest and add more advanced platforms only when the brief needs them. You get one team, one plan and one report across all of it.
Google Ads, YouTube & DV360
Most plans start in Google Ads, which has no platform fee. Budgets move into Display & Video 360 when a brief needs publisher deals, streaming TV, audio or one frequency cap across every channel.
- Search, YouTube, Demand Gen and Display
- DV360 for deals, CTV, audio and city screens
- One plan, matched to your budget

FAQ
Straight answers.
Programmatic, DSP, DV360: what do these actually mean?
Programmatic means buying ad space automatically, one impression at a time, based on who is likely to see it. The software that does this is called a DSP (short for demand-side platform), and it bids across thousands of websites, apps, video and streaming outlets. Google Display & Video 360 ranks among the biggest DSPs, and it's the one we use when a campaign needs programmatic.
How much should we budget for a first campaign?
Less than you might expect. Signing with a DSP directly usually means a large monthly commitment. We start on the platforms that fit your budget, often Google Ads and social with no platform fees, and add DV360 when the plan needs it. We'll recommend a starting figure in your plan.
When could our ads be live?
A full mobilisation, covering audit, tracking, planning, build and launch, typically takes around 30 days. A single campaign with approved creative and working tracking can go live sooner. Your plan includes the launch date.
Who runs the campaign day to day?
That's your choice. Many clients hand everything to us: planning, setup, optimisation and reporting. If you have your own team, we can work alongside them with shared access and specialist support.
Can you reach people outside the UAE?
Yes. We're based in Dubai and run campaigns across the GCC, and we regularly target the countries your buyers, guests or students come from, such as the UK, India and Europe.
Do we need DV360, or is Google Ads enough?
For many budgets, Google Ads and social are the right place to start, and we'll tell you if that's the case. DV360 earns its place when you need publisher deals, streaming TV, audio, city screens or one frequency cap across all of them.
What is Social OS?
Social OS is Red Dot's AI operating system for running a brand's social media. AI agents handle research, copy, production and scheduling, and a person approves every post. It's in early access with a small number of pilot brands.
We already advertise on Google Ads and Meta. Why add programmatic?
Search and social reach people inside those platforms. Programmatic adds the rest of their day: the websites they read, YouTube, streaming TV, podcasts and city screens. It also gives you more control over where ads appear and how often. Most clients run all of them together.
