A consideration and lead-gen play on Gulf News and Al Arabiya for a UAE home-furnishings retailer. Premium display paired with native storytelling — measured on incremental consideration, not just impressions.

The challenge

Turn always-on display into actual consideration lift.

Homes R Us had been running broad display with falling efficiency. Clicks were up, CPL was trending the wrong way, and brand tracking wasn't moving.

The brief was to rebuild the plan around premium supply only, prove the consideration lift with a study, and bring CPL back under control — without dropping reach.

The strategy

Premium-only display plus native storytelling on two flagship publishers.

Premium display

High-viewability placements on Gulf News and Al Arabiya — masthead, in-article and ROS — with every impression measured for brand suitability.

Native storytelling

Editorially-aligned native articles on home trends and Ramadan entertaining, distributed across both publishers' home and lifestyle sections.

Consideration study

Pre/post brand-lift survey isolating consideration among exposed vs control audiences, with attention scoring on every placement.

The results

Consideration up, cost down, reach held.
