Industry · Retail & e-commerce

From first scroll to shopping bag.

Gulf shoppers flip between malls, apps and websites in the same afternoon. Our campaigns follow that path — building interest at scale, then bringing people back to finish the purchase wherever they prefer to buy.

What's in the way

What retail marketers deal with

  1. 01

    Social is getting pricey

    Costs on the big social platforms keep climbing, and the extra sales have to come from somewhere new.

  2. 02

    Retail moments are short

    White Friday, Ramadan, Eid and back-to-school all need heavy reach for a few days — then it's over.

  3. 03

    Online research, offline purchase

    Many shoppers browse on the phone and buy in the mall, so channel-by-channel reports miss the full effect.

How we tackle it

How we run retail campaigns

Awareness formats to start demand, catalogue ads to close the sale, and city screens to steer people into stores.

  • Product ads generated from your catalogue feed
  • Bursts planned around Ramadan, Eid, White Friday and DSF
  • Mall and roadside screens plus mobile ads near your branches
  • Win-back ads for abandoned baskets and lapsed customers
