    The problem

    Why startup social media rarely brings in customers.

    01

    Posting without a point of view

    Generic tips and stock visuals make a young company look like everyone else, so followers scroll past and never learn what makes your product different.

    02

    The founder’s voice is missing

    Early buyers and investors want to hear from the people building the company, yet a logo-only account feels impersonal and struggles to earn that trust.

    03

    Followers with no path to sales

    Accounts grow but profiles lack clear links, lead magnets or WhatsApp routes, so attention never converts into demos, sign-ups or conversations with your team.

    How we run it

    From content strategy to a community that converts.

    A clear monthly rhythm of planning, production and review, so you approve content in advance and always know what is going live and why.

    FAQ

    Questions about startup social media.

    How much does social media management cost for a startup?

    Social media plans are scoped and quoted after a free strategy call, based on the number of platforms, content volume and whether video production is included. You receive a clear monthly quote before we begin.

    Which social platforms should a startup use?

    The platforms your buyers actually use. B2B startups usually gain most from LinkedIn and founder content, while consumer brands often focus on Instagram and TikTok. We recommend fewer platforms done well over many done poorly.

    Should the founder post on LinkedIn?

    In most cases, yes. A founder sharing lessons, progress and industry views builds credibility with customers, candidates and investors. We plan and ghostwrite posts so it takes very little of your time.

    Can you create bilingual content for UAE audiences?

    Yes. We write and design content natively in English and Arabic, adapting tone and references for each audience rather than translating captions word for word.

    Do you produce videos and reels?

    Yes. We plan and edit short-form reels where video is in scope, and our production team can film on location in Dubai and Abu Dhabi when you need higher-quality footage.

    How do you measure social media success?

    We track reach and engagement, but report mainly on what matters commercially: profile visits, link clicks, WhatsApp conversations, sign-ups and enquiries generated from social.

    Who approves the content before it goes live?

    You do. Each month we share the full calendar for review, and nothing is published without your approval. Short feedback rounds keep the process light for busy founders.

    Can you run paid social campaigns too?

    Yes. Organic content builds trust, and paid social puts your strongest posts and offers in front of targeted audiences. Ads management starts from AED 3,500 per month, with spend paid directly to the platforms.
