How we deliver — step by step
How Valors plans, staffs, tracks and reports beauty creator campaigns in Saudi Arabia.
1. Brief & market fit
We start from the commercial objective — awareness, acquisition, or GMV — then decide which of the 13 MENA markets, platforms, and creator tiers can actually deliver it inside the budget. If a market cannot hit the target, we say so before signing.
2. Creator selection & vetting
Creators are shortlisted from our vetted network of 5,000+ MENA creators using audience-country split, real (not follower-implied) engagement, 90-day posting consistency, brand-safety review of past content, and dialect fit. We manually review the last 20 posts of every creator before proposing them.
3. Briefing & content approval
Each creator receives a written brief in their own dialect with hooks, mandatories, disclosure requirements, and posting windows. Drafts are reviewed against the brand's guidelines and local advertising rules before anything is published.
4. Tracking setup
Every creator gets a unique affiliate link, coupon code, or UTM set before launch, so reach, clicks, orders, and revenue can be attributed per creator. No campaign goes live without attribution in place.
5. Measurement & optimisation
We read performance at creator level from day two, reallocate budget from underperformers to proven content, and amplify the top-performing organic posts with paid support instead of boosting everything equally.
6. Reporting & handover
Reporting covers reach, engagement rate, clicks, conversions, revenue, effective CPM/CPA, and ROAS per creator and per platform, plus what we would change in the next wave. Raw data is shared, not just a summary slide.
Why brands trust Valors
Compliance-first delivery
Disclosure and licensing requirements are applied per market — including GAMR/GCAM authorisation in Saudi Arabia, NMC influencer licensing in the UAE, and ASA-style disclosure norms elsewhere in MENA.
Operated in-market
Campaigns are run by Arabic-speaking teams covering Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt — briefs, negotiation, and creator management happen in the creator's own language and dialect.
Performance attribution, not estimates
Results come from affiliate tracking, coupon-level attribution, and platform analytics exports. Where a figure cannot be attributed, we label it as reach or impressions rather than sales.
Contracted creators
Every activation is covered by a written agreement: deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity windows, and payment terms are agreed before content is produced.
Fraud & audience screening
Follower authenticity, engagement spikes, and audience geography are screened before a creator is approved, so budget is not spent on inflated audiences.
Wave-based iteration
We treat the first wave as a structured test, then scale the creator profiles, hooks, and platforms that proved out — rather than repeating the same plan each quarter.
