Digital marketing
Search for a strategy agency in this city and you get agency homepages and listicles. Almost nobody publishes what a strategy actually contains, because for most agencies it is a free document produced to win a retainer. This is the opposite: a paid engagement that ends in a decision, and can honestly conclude you should spend less.

Support@adnika.comPartners & recognition
The platforms we build and run campaigns in, and the clients whose numbers we publish with their names on. HubSpot is the one partnership we claim; the rest are tools we use, not badges.
The problem
They name the channels everyone names, split the budget roughly evenly, and set targets nobody derived from anything. Then performance is judged against numbers that were guesses.
What goes wrong before a single dirham is spent
Without a value per lead and a close rate, cost per lead is a number with no meaning. You cannot tell an expensive channel from a profitable one, so budget goes to whatever produces the most cheap enquiries — which is usually the least qualified traffic.
The same four channels appear in almost every Dubai marketing plan regardless of what the business sells or how long its sales cycle is. A ninety-day B2B cycle and an impulse e-commerce purchase need different money in different places.
Tracking gets set up after launch, so the first two months of data are unusable and the arguments about attribution start in month three. Measurement is a design decision, not an implementation detail.
Plans say what to start and never what to stop. Without a threshold agreed in advance, an underperforming channel survives on the argument that it needs more time — which is unfalsifiable and expensive.
What is included
A document, not a deck. Specific enough that another agency could execute it and quote against it accurately.
What a customer is worth, what you can afford to pay for one, and therefore what a lead is worth at each stage. Every other number in the plan derives from this, and most plans skip it entirely.
Who buys, what they search, and how much of that demand actually exists in this market. Real search volumes rather than aspiration. Some categories in the UAE have far less demand than the pitch implies, and that changes the whole plan.
Which channels, what share of budget, and why — tied to your sales cycle and margin rather than to what is fashionable. Including the channels we recommend NOT using, which is usually the more useful half.
What to spend, in what order, and what has to be true before the next tranche is released. A plan that spends everything in month one has no way to learn.
What gets tracked, where it lands, who reads it and what decision it drives. Designed before launch so month one produces usable data.
Forecasts built from the commercial model and real volumes, with the assumptions written out so you can argue with them. Every forecast is wrong; the useful ones show their working.
Agreed in advance: what result by what date means a channel gets more budget, and what means it stops. This is the single most useful paragraph in the document.
What actually happens first, who does it and what it costs, so the strategy converts to action rather than sitting in a folder.
Technology
Your data first. Market data second. Opinion last, and labelled as opinion.
What is already true.
How much of the market actually exists.
What the people beating you are doing.
So the numbers connect.
How we work
Two to four weeks, fixed price, ending in a document rather than a proposal for more work.
Margin, close rate, repeat rate and sales cycle, from your own data rather than benchmarks. If that data does not exist yet, establishing it is the first recommendation, because everything else is guesswork without it.
Real search volumes, competitor visibility and where the gaps are. Occasionally the finding is that demand is far smaller than assumed and the budget should go to demand creation instead of capture.
The mix with reasoning, the phasing, the tracking design and the stopping rules. Everything written so you can disagree with a specific line rather than the whole plan.
Presented, argued through, then yours. Take it in-house, tender it, or run it with us. It is written to be agency-agnostic and it says so on the first page.
Why us
Because a free plan is a sales document, and both sides know it.
Paid and separate means the recommendation can honestly be 'spend less, fix the site first' or 'this channel is not for you'. Those conclusions do not survive inside a free session that exists to produce a proposal.
Value per lead, affordable acquisition cost, channel ceilings. Not benchmarks lifted from an American SaaS blog and applied to a Dubai business.
What result by what date means a channel continues, and what means it stops. Without that, underperformance always gets defended as needing more time.
Specific enough to tender with. Several clients have used ours to get comparable quotes from three agencies, which is exactly what it is for.

Questions
Including what a strategy actually is, which is the question Google shows most for this subject.
A set of decisions, not a list of activities. Specifically: what a customer is worth, therefore what you can afford to pay for one, therefore which channels can work at that price, how the budget is split and phased, how it will be measured, and what result by what date means you stop. A document that names channels without answering those is a plan, not a strategy.
Search (organic and paid), social (organic and paid), email, content, and increasingly answer engines. The useful question is not which exist but which suit your margin and sales cycle. A ninety-day B2B cycle and an impulse purchase justify almost opposite budget splits, and most plans in this market ignore that.
AED 18,000 to AED 65,000 covers most of what we are asked to build. The number moves on how many channels are in scope, whether competitor and demand research is included, how many markets and languages, and how many stakeholders need interviewing. Anything quoted before those are known is a guess. We scope first, then price, and the scope document is yours whether or not you proceed. These are market ranges rather than a fixed rate card — the proposal carries the real figure.
Because free strategy is a sales process, and it produces the plan the agency wanted to sell. When it is paid and separate we can honestly recommend spending less, fixing the website first, or not running the campaign this quarter.
We credit a portion against work that starts within three months. The document is still written so you can take it elsewhere, and clients do. That is the point rather than a failure.
Yes, and it has been. If the site converts badly or the offer is unclear, more traffic makes the problem more expensive rather than solving it. Fixing that first is a common recommendation and it usually costs less than the campaign would have.
We will account for them in the measurement design and in the demand picture, because they affect branded search and therefore everything downstream. We do not plan or buy offline media, and we will say so rather than pretend.
Two to four weeks. Longer usually means we are waiting on analytics access or interview scheduling, so both are worth arranging in week one.
Whoever owns the commercial number, whoever runs sales, and if possible two customers. Around six hours of your organisation's time across the engagement.
Because the targets were derived from your own economics and the stopping rules were agreed before launch. If a channel misses its threshold by its date, that is a clear outcome rather than an argument about attribution.
No questions match — try another search.
Next step
If it is a narrow question we will answer it in an email at no charge. If it is where the whole budget goes next year, that is what the engagement is for.
