Everything below is checkable against your own accounts, or it should not have been published.
How the work runs in Umm Suqeim
Creator partnerships sourced, briefed, contracted and measured properly. In practice, the engagement is judged on cost per engaged view, tracked conversions, audience match % — agreed before anything is published, so improvement claims are checkable later.

Step by step
Same spine on every engagement, whatever the channel.
- 01Shortlist on audience, not follower count: We check audience location, language and engagement quality before anyone is approached.
- 02Brief and contract: Deliverables, disclosure requirements and paid usage rights are agreed in writing up front.
- 03Amplify the winners: Content that performs organically is licensed and run as paid creative, which is usually the best value in the campaign.
- 04Measure honestly: Results are reported against agreed goals with tracked links or codes — no vanity-only recaps.
How to tell whether it is working
Agree the scorecard before the first asset ships. For influencer marketing, the numbers that matter are cost per engaged view, tracked conversions, audience match %, content usage value — reported monthly in plain language, with the underperforming activity named and cut rather than quietly repeated.
| Timeframe | What should be visible |
|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | Baseline recorded, tracking live, first assets published or campaigns launched |
| Weeks 3–6 | Readable signal from paid channels; early ranking and engagement movement |
| Weeks 7–12 | Shortlist in 10 days, with cost per enquiry trending in the right direction |
| Quarter 2+ | Compounding: cheaper enquiries, more of them, less dependence on paid reach |
