Influencer Marketing in the UAE

Contracts that protect your brand. Compliance that keeps you safe. We help brands run influencer campaigns with clear, enforceable contracts and full regulatory compliance.
From NMC rules to payment terms.

The UAE has specific rules for influencer advertising. The National Media Council (now part of the Media Regulatory Office) requires influencers to obtain a license and follow advertising guidelines. If you're working with influencers, your contracts must reflect these rules.

BrandStory drafts and reviews influencer agreements that cover disclosure, content ownership, payment, exclusivity, and termination. We also advise on compliance with the UAE's consumer protection and advertising regulations.

Clear contracts. Real compliance.

Influencer marketing in the UAE is not just about content. It's about contracts that hold up in court and compliance that protects your brand from fines and reputational damage.
