The challenge

Stand out in the noisiest retail window of the year.

Eid is the biggest gifting moment in GCC beauty — and also the most competitive, with every perfume house buying paid search and display at the same time.

The brief was to avoid the auction pile-on: drive e-commerce sessions and add-to-cart volumes through storytelling, not just discount banners.

The strategy

Native storytelling, then retarget with precision.

In-feed native

Editorial-style gifting guides and heritage brand stories placed in-feed across premium Arabic and English lifestyle publishers.

Behavioural retargeting

Users who engaged with the native content were retargeted with product-specific creative on premium MENA publishers and social.

On-site e-com pull-through

Creative sequenced from "discover the heritage" to "shop the fragrance" — with every click landing on PDPs optimised for Eid gifting.

The results

Content-led commerce, done right.
