Digital Media Buying Agency in Egypt

Your budget, in front of the right people.

We plan and buy paid media on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, LinkedIn, X and YouTube for brands in Egypt and the Gulf. One team handles the plan, the creative, the landing pages and the optimisation, so your budget works as one campaign instead of six disconnected ones.

01 Why media buying

Reach is cheap. Attention isn’t.

Anyone can spend a budget. The difference is where it goes, which creative runs, and how quickly money moves from what doesn’t work to what does. For Ahmad Tea, we placed a brand film across YouTube and social media in the Gulf and reached more than 2 million unique viewers in the launch week, saving up to 70% compared with traditional TV advertising.

02 Where we buy

Every platform your audience scrolls.

We split your budget by where your audience spends time and what you need from them, from awareness and video views to leads and sales. For Google Search, see our Google Ads service.

01

Facebook & Instagram

The backbone of most campaigns in Egypt and the Gulf: precise audiences, Reels and Stories, lead forms and retargeting. For QMC, ads aimed at doctors brought more than 250 leads for a medical building in Sheikh Zayed.

02

TikTok

Short, native-feeling video that reaches younger audiences fast, built with creators or our own team so it never looks like a TV ad.

03

Snapchat

Full-screen video and story ads with strong reach among young audiences in Saudi Arabia and across the Gulf.

04

YouTube

Brand films and video ads that people actually watch. Ahmad Tea’s ad held 58% of viewers past the 30-second mark.

05

LinkedIn

Reach decision-makers by job title, industry and company size, for B2B services, recruitment and corporate brands.

06

X (Twitter)

Join the conversation around launches, events and trending moments, especially in Saudi Arabia, where X is widely used.

03 Included

More than buying ad space.

  • A media plan built around your goal, your audience and your budget, with the split between platforms explained.
  • Creative support: 2D designs and motion graphics made for each platform and format. For bigger films, our production team shoots in-house.
  • Landing pages designed and developed for your campaigns, so clicks have somewhere good to land.
  • Automation & analytics: pixels, conversion tracking and reporting set up so you can see what each platform delivers.
  • Ongoing optimisation: we test audiences and creatives and move budget toward what performs.

07 Questions

Media buying questions, answered.

What’s the difference between media buying and Google Ads?

Google Ads captures people already searching for what you sell on Google. Media buying puts your brand in front of the right audiences on social and video platforms, often before they search. Most brands get the best results using both.

Which platforms do you buy on?

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, LinkedIn, X and YouTube. We recommend the mix based on your audience and goal, rather than spreading your budget everywhere.

Is the ad budget included in your fee?

No. Your advertising budget is paid to the platforms separately from our fee, and both are set out clearly in your proposal.

Do you create the ads as well?

Yes. Our designers make 2D and motion creatives for each format, and our production team can shoot films, reels and product content in-house.

Can you run campaigns outside Egypt?

Yes. We work from Cairo and Dubai and run campaigns across the Gulf. Ahmad Tea’s campaign, for example, performed best in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

How do we get started?

Send the form on our contact page, WhatsApp or call us. We start with a discovery call, then a short questionnaire, then a media plan and proposal.
