Arrax Marketing is a full service marketing agency that runs performance marketing, social media, SEO and AI search, content production, and web and software work for brands in Dubai, the wider UAE and the Gulf. Gulf clients include Abu Buggy, a dune buggy and desert safari company in Dubai, Farm Craft Global, an FMCG brand in Qatar, and Matam Al Kuwait, a hospitality brand.

Why Dubai brands work with Arrax

A single marketing hire rarely covers media, SEO, content and development at a senior level. Arrax puts paid media, social, search, content and a build team on one account, from one office. The team has worked from Lahore since 2017, runs its own photo and video studio, and builds its own software, including Arraxis, a lead and revenue platform.

The bigger difference for Gulf clients is the clock. A business in Dubai shares almost its whole working day with Lahore, which is something no North American client gets.

How working with us goes.

01

Free audit

A senior person reviews your accounts, your site and your follow up, and records what they find. Yours to keep.

02

A written plan

Targets, budget, channels and what we need from you, on one page, before any money is spent.

03

Build and launch

Tracking first, then creative and campaigns. AI agents and software go in where they earn their place.

04

Report and improve

Weekly numbers in plain English, tied to revenue. We keep what works and cut what does not.

How the time zone works

Dubai and the rest of the UAE run on Gulf Standard Time, UTC plus 4. Lahore runs on UTC plus 5, so Lahore is one hour ahead of Dubai all year, because neither country uses daylight saving. Qatar and Kuwait are on UTC plus 3, two hours behind Lahore. In practice this means:

  • Calls happen inside normal office hours on both sides, with no early mornings or late nights.
  • A request sent in the Dubai morning is usually picked up the same day.
  • Campaign changes and approvals happen within the working day rather than overnight.

Gulf work on record

Abu Buggy, Dubai. Abu Buggy rents dune buggies and runs guided desert safaris. Visitors usually pick an operator on a phone, often the day before they go, so the photographs, the reviews and the speed of the reply do the selling. Arrax handles the marketing: presenting the fleet and the desert properly, and keeping the brand in front of people planning a trip to the UAE. Read the Abu Buggy case study.

Farm Craft Global, Qatar. Arrax manages the WooCommerce store and the search work behind it, including product structure, category architecture and the on page detail that decides whether a product can be found at all. Read the Farm Craft Global case study.

Matam Al Kuwait, hospitality. Arrax runs the social presence and the creative behind it: food photography and video, a steady posting cadence, campaigns around occasions and seasons, community management and local paid social. Read the Matam Al Kuwait case study.

Clinic and healthcare work draws on Arrax's experience with brands such as Venus Aesthetics, a multi branch aesthetics clinic chain in Pakistan, and Chughtai Lab.

How a new Gulf engagement starts

  • Request a free audit. A senior person reviews your paid media, your website and how your enquiries are followed up.
  • A recorded video walkthrough of that audit arrives within two working days.
  • If you want to go ahead, both sides agree the services in scope, the reporting rhythm and a standing call time inside shared office hours.
  • The Lahore team is introduced by name, with one point of contact for day to day questions.
  • Work starts against a shared reporting view, so both sides see the same spend, leads and cost per result.

Currency is agreed at the start of the relationship and stated in the contract and in every report.
