Why it matters

Why Arabic social media is worth doing properly

Social media is often where Arabic-speaking customers first meet a brand, ask questions and decide whether to trust it. Done well, it builds awareness, loyalty and repeat business. Done with translated posts, it signals that the market is an afterthought.

Our Arabic social media work has supported world-renowned clients such as The Royal Marsden, creating channels that reflect their brand in the Middle Eastern market.

Platforms and audiences

Platform and audience insight

Our in-house Arabic speakers continuously analyse how Arab audiences use social media, which platforms matter in each country and what content earns engagement. Recommendations are based on that research rather than the channel mix that works in the UK.

Social activity is planned alongside search and your Arabic website, so campaigns lead to pages built to convert.
