Dubai-Al Ain Border, Dubai | Sector: Land plots, villas and mansion plots | Buyer profile: Investors and end-users
The situation
Arabian Hills Estates offers large-format land plots alongside villas and mansions along the Dubai-Al Ain corridor, aimed at buyers who want the freedom to build a custom home or hold land as a long-term investment at a lower entry price than established villa communities closer to central Dubai. The brief was to generate a high volume of qualified buyer and investor interest and convert a meaningful share of it into signed plot and villa transactions, in a segment where the sales cycle is longer and the ticket size is high.
What we delivered
Performance media campaigns across Meta and Google targeting UAE and GCC-based investors and end-users searching for land and villa plots.
Landing pages and creative built around land-banking value, custom-build flexibility, and location access to the Dubai-Al Ain corridor.
WhatsApp-based lead nurture and appointment-setting funnel feeding qualified buyers directly to the sales team.
Retargeting sequences for high-intent visitors who engaged with plot and pricing content but had not yet booked a site visit.

Ghaf Woods by Majid Al Futtaim
Dubailand, Dubai | Project by: Majid Al Futtaim | Sector: Nature-immersive residential community
The situation
Ghaf Woods is Majid Al Futtaim's forest-community residential development in Dubailand, launched into a crowded calendar of competing off-plan releases in the same corridor. The challenge was to differentiate the project's sustainability and forest-living positioning clearly enough to generate high-intent demand, not just traffic, and to move buyers efficiently from interest to a booked sales meeting.
What we delivered
Full-funnel performance campaign built around the forest-community and sustainability narrative rather than generic off-plan messaging.

Bay Villas is a villa community within Nakheel's wider Dubai Islands masterplan, competing for investor attention against multiple concurrent island launches in the same corridor.

What we delivered
Performance media campaign positioned around waterfront villa ownership and the Dubai Islands masterplan story.
Investor-focused content addressing capital appreciation and rental yield alongside lifestyle positioning.

This campaign targeted the apartment segment of the Dubai Islands masterplan, a lower entry price point than the villa product, aimed at both end-users and buy-to-let investors.

At this price range, campaign success depends on reaching a smaller pool of genuinely qualified high-net-worth buyers rather than maximizing lead volume.
What we delivered

The situation
Central Park at City Walk is Meraas's park-facing apartment and penthouse community in Al Wasl, priced from AED 2.73 million and built around a private central park. The project has since sold out. The brief was to move a large qualified buyer pool through to signed transactions during the project's final sales phase, while units in that phase remained available.
What we delivered

Palm Jebel Ali, Dubai | Project by: Nakheel | Sector: Ultra-luxury island villas (5-7 bedroom, AED 21.5M-43M+) | Market: UAE, UK & Europe
The situation
Palm Jebel Ali is Nakheel's second palm island, at 13.6 square kilometers roughly twice the size of Palm Jumeirah, with 5 to 7-bedroom villas priced from AED 21.5 million and positioned at a 60%+ discount per square foot to equivalent Palm Jumeirah stock. The brief was to build a dual-market pipeline of UAE-based and UK and European ultra-high-net-worth buyers for a genuinely new island, with no completed community yet to point to.
What we delivered

The situation

The brief was to reach a very small pool of genuinely qualified buyers for one of Dubai's highest price points, where volume is the wrong metric and buyer fit is everything.
What we delivered
Narrowly targeted performance campaign aimed at existing Tilal Al Ghaf residents and UHNW buyers active in comparable Dubai mansion communities.

The situation
Greenz is Danube Properties' townhouse and villa community in Academic City, offering 3 to 6-bedroom homes from AED 3.5 million on Danube's signature 1%-monthly payment structure. The 1% payment plan is the strongest affordability lever in Danube's positioning, and the brief was to convert that into a high-volume, well-qualified lead pipeline rather than just traffic.
What we delivered
High-volume performance campaign built around the 1% monthly payment plan as the primary hook.
Family-community creative addressing the townhouse-to-villa upgrade path within the same masterplan.
Lead qualification funnel tuned for a shorter sales cycle typical of Danube's price segment.

Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi | Project by: Q Properties (Q Holding) | Sector: Ultra-luxury waterfront villas (5-7 bedroom, from AED 11.05M)
The situation
Reem Hills is Q Properties' hilltop villa community on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, offering 5, 6 and 7-bedroom villas from AED 11.05 million with private pools and waterfront views, 15 minutes from mainland Abu Dhabi. At this price point, the buyer pool is small and highly qualified. The brief was to reach genuine ultra-high-net-worth prospects rather than generate volume, while keeping the campaign's positioning consistent with the project throughout the funnel.
What we delivered
Narrowly targeted performance campaign aimed at UHNW buyers and investors already active in Abu Dhabi's prime waterfront segment.
Wellness- and privacy-led creative built around private pools, rooftop decks and the hilltop waterfront setting.

Linar by Alef
Al Mamzar, Sharjah | Project by: Alef Group | Sector: Waterfront residential towers, AED 4 billion masterplan | Market: India
The situation
Linar is Alef Group's first waterfront residential development in Al Mamzar, Sharjah, an AED 4 billion masterplan with over 300 meters of waterfront frontage, positioned to draw investors beyond Sharjah's traditional local buyer base. The brief was to build a qualified investor pipeline from the India market, where Sharjah's waterfront positioning and price point relative to Dubai make a strong investment case.
What we delivered
India-market investor campaign built around Sharjah's growth story and Linar's waterfront positioning.

Aljada is Arada's flagship 24-million-square-foot masterplan in Sharjah, marketed as "the downtown of new Sharjah," with 1 to 3-bedroom apartments from AED 1.064 million across multiple residential buildings. At this entry price point the opportunity is volume: a large, price-sensitive buyer pool of end-users and first-time investors priced out of equivalent Dubai communities.
What we delivered
High-volume performance campaign targeting UAE-based end-users and investors priced out of comparable Dubai apartment stock.
