Why brands choose Valors
We're a performance-first agency, not a content shop. Every campaign is built around revenue you can attribute.
Ad-ready by design
Every asset is shot vertically with hook variations, captions and a clear call to action so it can enter paid social immediately.
Volume for testing
Paid social needs creative variety. We deliver batches of 10–40 assets so you always have fresh hooks to test.
Arabic-first creators
Native Saudi, Emirati, Khaleeji and Egyptian voices — plus bilingual talent for regional and expatriate audiences.
Fast turnaround
Briefed to delivered in 7–10 days for standard batches, with rush options for launch deadlines.
Full usage rights
Licensing is agreed upfront so you can run assets on Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube and your own site without renegotiation.
Performance feedback loop
We review which hooks and formats performed in your ad account, then brief the next batch against the winners.
How a Valors campaign comes together
From kickoff to first attributed sale — usually under 48 hours.
Creative brief
We define audience, angles, hooks and mandatory product moments, plus the formats your media buyers need.

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 the difference between UGC and influencer marketing?
Influencer marketing buys access to a creator's audience — the creator publishes on their own channel. UGC buys the content itself: the creator films for your brand and licenses the footage, and you distribute it through your own paid and owned channels. UGC is usually cheaper per asset and better suited to performance advertising.
How much does UGC cost in the Middle East?
A single licensed UGC video typically costs $120–$450 depending on creator profile, script complexity and rights duration. Batches lower the per-asset cost. Managed UGC programs at Valors start at $2,500 per month for a recurring monthly batch.
How many UGC assets do we need to start?
We recommend a minimum of 10 assets covering at least three distinct angles. Paid social depends on creative variance, and single-asset tests rarely produce a reliable read on which message works.
Do you produce content in Arabic dialects?
Yes. We cast by dialect — Saudi, Emirati, Khaleeji, Egyptian and Levantine — because dialect strongly affects trust and completion rates. Bilingual assets are available for expatriate-heavy audiences in the UAE and Qatar.
Who owns the content?
You receive licensed usage rights agreed before production, typically 6 or 12 months across paid, organic and website use, with perpetual options available. All terms are written into the creator agreement so there is no renegotiation later.
How fast is delivery?
Standard batches deliver in 7–10 days from brief approval and product receipt. Rush turnaround of 72 hours is possible for launch deadlines at a premium.
