Why brands choose Valors
We're a performance-first agency, not a content shop. Every campaign is built around revenue you can attribute.
Storefront setup
We configure TikTok Shop and Instagram Shopping catalogues, product tagging and checkout flows so content converts without leaving the app.
Creator-led selling
Creators are briefed and paid against commission or GMV targets, aligning their incentive directly with your sales outcome.
Live shopping production
We plan and produce live shopping sessions, from host selection and script to real-time offer management.
Content-to-checkout tracking
Every post and live session is tagged and tracked so GMV can be attributed to specific creators and content pieces.
GMV-driven reporting
Reporting centres on GMV, conversion rate and cost per order rather than reach alone, matching commerce objectives.
Affiliate and commission management
We manage affiliate link structures and commission payouts across creator rosters, keeping incentive terms transparent and enforceable.

What's included in every engagement
How we deliver — step by step
The same operating process runs on every engagement, whether the campaign is one creator in Kuwait or 200 creators across the GCC. Each step has an owner, a deliverable, and a checkpoint you can review.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is social commerce?
Social commerce is the practice of selling products directly through social platforms such as TikTok Shop and Instagram Shopping, where users can purchase without leaving the app. It combines content, creator promotion and checkout into a single flow.
Which platforms support social commerce in MENA?
TikTok Shop and Instagram Shopping are the primary channels currently active across the Gulf, with Snapchat Shopping and WhatsApp catalogue integrations used as supporting channels depending on the market and audience.
How is social commerce different from influencer marketing?
Influencer marketing typically drives awareness or traffic to a separate store. Social commerce embeds the purchase directly into the social content or live session, so the sale is completed on-platform and attributable to a specific creator or post.
How do you measure success in social commerce campaigns?
We track GMV, conversion rate, average order value and cost per order at the creator and content level, giving a direct sales read rather than relying on reach or engagement as proxy metrics.
Do creators get paid commission or a flat fee?
Both models are used depending on the brand and category. Many programmes combine a smaller flat fee with a commission on GMV, aligning creator incentive with actual sales performance rather than just content delivery.
What products work best for social commerce?
Visually demonstrable, moderately priced products with clear before-and-after or use-case value tend to convert best, particularly in beauty, fashion, home goods and food and beverage categories.
Can you run live shopping events?
Yes. We plan and produce live shopping sessions end to end, including host casting, script and offer structure, stock coordination and real-time engagement management during the broadcast.
What GMV results have you delivered?
Valors Media has supported social commerce and creator-driven programmes generating $2.8M+ in tracked GMV across MENA campaigns, with reporting built to isolate creator and content-level contribution to that figure.
