Influencer Marketing in Saudi Arabia: Arabic Creators and Mawthooq | DGTG
Arabic-first creator campaigns in Saudi Arabia, with licensed creators and results tracked per creator.
Saudi Arabia has one of the most active social media audiences in the region, and a clear licensing regime for paid creators. DGTG plans Arabic-first influencer campaigns there, with every paid creator licensed and every trackable result reported per creator.
Licensed creators
Paid influencer advertising in Saudi Arabia requires the creator to hold a Mawthooq licence from the General Authority for Media Regulation. We check it before contracting.
Arabic first
Creators speaking to Saudi audiences in Arabic, including local dialect, reach far further than English-language content. English creators are added for expatriate audiences where they matter.
Platforms
Snapchat, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube all carry weight in the Kingdom, and the right mix depends on the audience and the product.
Results
App installs, first orders and bookings can be tracked per creator. For app campaigns, see our user acquisition work in Saudi Arabia.
How DGTG runs it

We plan influencer campaigns the way we plan paid media: start from the outcome the brand needs, pick the creators whose audience can deliver it, agree the price per deliverable or per result, and report on what the campaign actually moved.
