Paid and organic social working together to move people from scroll to enquiry.
What construction and contracting firms actually need from social media marketing
Social Media Marketing for construction and contracting firms in Abu Dhabi is a different job from generic social media marketing. The buyer is usually a business development director, and the problem behind the brief is normally this: digital presence rarely reflects capability.
So the work starts from proof rather than posting. For construction and contracting firms that means assets like project documentation, capability statements, certification features — produced in batches, published on a dated calendar and distributed through Instagram, TikTok, Meta Ads.
We keep the claims defensible: nothing published that you could not support if a customer, a platform or a regulator asked.
Indicative investment starts at AED 4,500 / month + media, with media budget separate and paid by you directly. First campaigns live in 2 weeks.
What we plan around
The things a business development director raises before they will commit — and the asset that answers each one.
