A few weeks ago, a retail client contacted me after spending over 250,000 SAR on underperforming pay-per-click efforts. After revamping their strategy, we produced a five hundred thirty-seven percent growth in advertising efficiency.
Working with a food brand, we established a approach where influencers genuinely incorporated products into their daily lives rather than producing evident sponsorships. This strategy generated engagement rates 218% higher than conventional marketing material.

- Group decision elements in purchase decisions
- WhatsApp as a major but challenging-to-attribute influence channel
- In-person confirmation as the last purchase trigger
For a hospitality customer, we identified that direct translation of their international keywords produced exceptionally wasteful spending. After implementing a regionally-specific query approach, their cost per acquisition dropped by 73%.

Last quarter, a cosmetics company allocated 300,000 SAR in traditional advertising with limited returns. After redirecting just 25% of that investment to creator partnerships, they achieved a 712% growth in sales.
Using detailed analysis for a meal service company, we found that advertisements shown between night time dramatically outperformed those presented during standard peak hours, generating one hundred sixty-three percent greater conversion rates.
Additional timing discoveries included:

- Greater engagement on Fridays and Saturdays particularly after sunset prayers
- Temporal differences needing spending modifications during Ramadan
- Educational timetable impacts on specific sectors
