The brief

Built for Iraqi audiences.

Most agencies treat MENA as one homogenous block. It isn't. Iraqi audiences scroll differently, share differently, respond to humour and tone differently. We run social as a measurable growth channel, built for the platforms Iraqi users actually live on, in the language they actually use.

Engagement growth, month-by-month

Consistent posting · year one · single channel
Posts / month
Engagement rate
Month 2

First viral hit

Native creative finds its audience. Algorithm catches the signal. Reach jumps.

Month 4 · Community

DMs become the channel

Replies and saves overtake comments. The audience starts talking to you.

Month 6 · Compounding

~6× the engagement

Same effort, six times the output. The newsroom rhythm pays off.

Month 2

First viral moment

Native-format content built for Iraqi feeds, not translated from regional templates, finds its audience within 60 days.

Half-year multiplier

By month 6, the same monthly content effort delivers roughly six times the engagement of month one, community amplification compounds.

AR · EN · KU

Three open audiences

English-only content limits your reach by 60–70% in Iraq. We produce natively in all three languages from day one.

Six disciplines.
One newsroom rhythm.

Every Pomelo social retainer includes all six. Posting without strategy is shouting. Strategy without paid is a slow burn. Paid without community is wasted spend. They work together or not at all.

01

Channel Strategy

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.

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, Arabic, English, and Kurdish.

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, you don't need to produce a thing.

Discovery and strategy take 2 weeks. From contract signature to first post is typically 3–4 weeks. We don't rush the foundations, you'll see the calendar before we publish anything.

Let's grow the audience.

Tell us what you're trying to achieve. We'll send back a tailored channel plan within 5 business days, and show where social slots into the rest of our practices.
