Social media management agency for UAE businesses
Promptivia manages Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook and LinkedIn for UAE businesses — content creation, Reels, community management, paid social and influencer coordination, in English and Arabic. UAE agencies typically charge AED 2,500–4,500 a month for a starter package, AED 5,000–8,000 for growth with short-form video, and AED 8,000–15,000 for full-service management with paid ads, with ad spend paid separately.
Where UAE customers actually are
UAE residents spend close to three hours a day on social media, and the platform mix is different from Europe or the US. 2026 ad-reach estimates (DataReportal) put TikTok at around 12.5 million accounts, Instagram at around 8 million and Snapchat at around 5 million — in a country of about 11 million people.
The default discovery and trust platform for UAE consumers. Your grid is your second website — people check it before they message you.
TikTok
The largest reach in the country. Best for showing the product, the place or the process in short, unpolished video.
Snapchat
Disproportionately strong with Emirati and GCC national audiences, and an underpriced ad channel for reaching them.
Still where much of the Arab expat and South Asian community spends time — and where Meta lead-form ads are cheapest.
For B2B, free-zone and professional services firms selling to decision makers, procurement and HR.
Not a channel to post on — the place every other channel should end. Every ad and bio link routes here.

What social media management includes
Strategy & content calendar
A monthly plan built around your offers, UAE seasons (Ramadan, Eid, National Day, summer, the winter high season) and the platforms your customers actually use.
Content creation
Designed posts, carousels, Reels and TikToks with captions in English, Arabic, or both — written for the audience, not machine-translated.
Community management
Comments and DMs answered during UAE business hours, with sales enquiries pushed straight to your WhatsApp so none go cold.
Paid social
Meta, TikTok and Snapchat ads geo-targeted to the neighbourhoods and emirates you serve, optimised for leads and bookings rather than reach.
Influencer & UGC
Creator shortlists with every creator's UAE Media Council advertiser permit checked before anything is posted.
Monthly reporting
Leads, bookings and cost per result — tracked from post to WhatsApp to sale — not a screenshot of follower counts.

Social media in the UAE: questions, answered
How much does social media management cost in the UAE?
Social media management in the UAE typically costs AED 2,500–4,500 a month for a starter package on one or two platforms, AED 5,000–8,000 for a growth package with Reels and TikTok, and AED 8,000–15,000 for full-service management including paid ads. Ad spend is paid to the platforms separately. Promptivia quotes a fixed monthly AED fee based on platforms, posting frequency and video volume.
Which social media platform is best for business in the UAE?
Instagram is the best all-round platform for most UAE consumer businesses, TikTok has the largest reach, Snapchat is strongest for reaching Emirati and GCC nationals, and LinkedIn is the right choice for B2B. Most businesses do best on two platforms done well rather than five done badly, with every post leading to WhatsApp.
Do influencers in the UAE need a permit?
Yes. Since 1 February 2026 the UAE Media Council requires anyone promoting products or services on social media — paid or unpaid — to hold an advertiser permit, and businesses are expected to check that the creators they hire hold one. We verify every creator's permit before a collaboration goes live.
Do you create content in Arabic?
Yes. We write captions and scripts in English, Arabic or both, and plan which posts need which language based on who the post is for. Arabic content is written for UAE audiences, not machine-translated from English.
How long does it take to see results from social media management?
Paid social produces enquiries within the first one to two weeks. Organic growth — reach, engagement and inbound DMs — usually takes two to three months of consistent posting. We report on leads, bookings and cost per result every month so you can see which is working.
Can you manage our ads as well as our posts?
Yes. We run Meta (Instagram and Facebook), TikTok and Snapchat ads, geo-targeted to the emirates and neighbourhoods you serve, and send leads straight to WhatsApp or your CRM. The ad budget is paid to the platforms directly; our fee is a fixed monthly amount.
