Muscat, Oman · across the GCC

Digital marketing in Oman and the GCC

I'm a freelance marketing specialist in Muscat. A brand gets one person who plans its marketing and makes it happen: the strategy, the social media, the campaigns, the content and the events, with what I learned in agency work at Bullseye DDB and Digital Ink.

What you get

  • A marketing plan built around what the brand needs people to do
  • Social media management and content for Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn
  • Campaigns and activations, online and on the ground
  • Keyword research and campaign structure for search
  • Video, events and bilingual hosting when the plan needs them
  • Arabic and English

Results

Shawarma 88: one video passed 1M views across Instagram and TikTok and brought 6K new followers in 3 days, with less than OMR 3 spent boosting it.

At Bullseye DDB I worked on Talabat, Shell, Omantel and Oman Arab Bank, and accepted the agency's award for Excellence in Experiential Marketing at The Arabian Stories (TAS) Awards, 2023.

Questions

Can you run the marketing for my brand?

Yes. I'm Shihab Mebarez, a freelance marketing specialist in Muscat, Oman. I plan and run digital marketing, social media, campaigns, content and event marketing for brands in Oman and the GCC, in Arabic and English.

Do you work with brands outside Oman?

Yes, across the GCC. Bag.qa in Qatar hired me through Upwork for keyword research and the campaign structure.

Why a freelancer and not a marketing agency?

You work directly with the person who does the work, and you still get agency experience from Bullseye DDB and Digital Ink.

What results have you delivered?

One video for Shawarma 88 passed 1M views and brought 6K new followers in 3 days, with less than OMR 3 spent boosting it. The shop then averaged OMR 250 in daily sales for 2 months.
