01 — The brief

Built for Iraqi audiences.

Most agencies treat the MENA region as one homogenous block. It isn't. Iraqi audiences scroll differently, share differently, respond to humour and tone differently from Saudi or Emirati audiences. Our content is built for the actual platforms Iraqi users live on — Instagram first, TikTok exploding (see Chery's TikTok run that did 99.3M views), Facebook still huge in older demographics, X and Snapchat in specific niches — and in the language the audience actually uses.

We run social as a measurable growth channel, not a posting calendar. Plays best when stacked with paid amplification from day one. Every brand we manage has clear monthly objectives — follower growth, engagement rate, reach, traffic, leads — and we report against them.

04 — Frequently asked

Which platforms do you manage?

Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X (Twitter), Snapchat, LinkedIn, and YouTube Shorts. We'll recommend the platform mix that fits your audience — not all brands need to be on all platforms.

How much does social media management cost in Iraq?

Single-channel management starts at $1,200/month including content production. Multi-channel packages with paid social typically range $2,500–$6,000/month depending on output volume and ad spend.

Do you produce content in Arabic and Kurdish?

Yes — and we'd argue you should. English-only content massively limits your reach in Iraq. We produce natively in all three languages.

Do I need to provide content, or do you create it?

We create everything from scratch unless you have specific raw material you want us to use. That's the whole point of bringing in a social media agency.

How fast can we start?

Discovery and strategy take 2 weeks. From contract signature to first post is typically 3–4 weeks.
