    Challenge

    Bilingual demand was leaking — Arabic search captured zero share, and PDPL exposure blocked the existing CRM rebuild.

    Approach

    • PDPL-aware analytics + CRM rebuild with onshore data routing.
    • Arabic-first SEO with Khaleeji-dialect adjustments on landing pages.
    • Performance media split EN / AR with creative-testing cadence.
    • Sun – Thu working week alignment with the in-house team in DIFC.
