iMetric connects brands with the best MENA talent — a dedicated team that identifies, briefs and manages regional influencers end to end, with every campaign measured on reach, engagement and the conversions that actually matter to the business.
What is iMetric’s Influencer Marketing service? iMetric’s Influencer Marketing service connects brands with the best talent across the Middle East through a dedicated team that handles creator selection, contracting, briefing, content review and performance measurement from start to finish. With 27+ talents managed and campaigns running across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Lebanon, iMetric brings regional knowledge that platform marketplaces and global talent networks cannot replicate — matching brands to creators whose audiences, content style and values are genuinely aligned, then measuring the result with the same rigour applied to every other channel.
MENA influencer marketing runs on regional expertise
The MENA creator economy is large, fast-moving and highly differentiated: audiences in Saudi Arabia engage very differently from those in Lebanon; a creator with 800,000 followers in the UAE may have negligible reach in Qatar; and the bilingual Arabic/English dynamic means content that resonates in one market can miss badly in another. Generic influencer directories and platform-automated matching do not solve this problem. iMetric’s talent team works with 27+ regional creators across categories and platforms, with the relationships and contextual knowledge to match the right creator to the right brief — and the campaign infrastructure to brief, approve and measure the result properly.
Our approach
We treat influencer marketing as a media channel and hold it to media standards. Every creator selection is backed by audience data; every campaign is measured against the Metrics Formula — reach, engagement, conversion — with the same standards applied to paid social or programmatic. Our talent team maintains active relationships with 27+ creators across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Lebanon, which means we know which creators actually deliver for specific verticals, audience profiles and campaign objectives rather than relying on platform databases. Because the campaign runs alongside digital & social strategy and media campaigns, influencer content can be amplified via paid and integrated into the broader communication plan.

Frequently asked questions
How do you select the right influencers for a campaign?
Creator selection is based on audience authenticity, engagement rate quality, content category fit, brand-safety history and regional relevance rather than follower count alone. iMetric’s talent team uses platform data and direct relationship knowledge to match creators whose real audiences align with the campaign’s target profile.
Do you manage end-to-end including contracts?
Yes. iMetric handles the full campaign from creator identification through contracting, briefing, content review, compliance and performance measurement — so the brand team focuses on approvals and objectives rather than operational management of multiple talent relationships.
How is influencer campaign performance measured?
We measure influencer campaigns on reach, engagement rate, saves, shares and — where trackable — conversion events and link traffic, integrating creator performance into the wider campaign analytics dashboard so return can be compared across channels on a consistent scorecard.
What an engagement can include
