Built by marketers, for the UAE market
We know the challenges of running influencer campaigns in the region – and we built software to solve them.
BrandStory started as an in‑house tool for a Dubai‑based agency that ran dozens of influencer campaigns each quarter. After three years of refining the workflow, we opened the platform to other brands and agencies in 2023.
Today, BrandStory powers campaigns for retail, hospitality, FMCG, and luxury brands across the UAE. Every feature is shaped by feedback from local marketers who need speed, clarity, and compliance.

Discuss ServiceMeasurable impact on your influencer marketing
BrandStory clients see tangible improvements in campaign speed, spend efficiency, and reporting accuracy.
Before BrandStory, a Dubai beauty brand spent 12 hours per week just on manual influencer outreach and spreadsheet tracking. After switching, that time dropped to 3 hours.
A luxury hotel in Abu Dhabi used the platform to launch a campaign with 20 influencers in one afternoon – something that previously took two weeks.
Our reporting module helped a retail client attribute AED 1.2 million in sales directly to influencer posts in Q1 2026.
Campaign setup time reduced by an average of 65% across all clients.
Influencer response rates increased by 40% when briefs were sent through the platform's professional interface.
98% of deliverables are now submitted on time – up from 72% before using BrandStory.
Every influencer is vetted before you send a brief
Fake followers and low engagement waste your budget. BrandStory flags them automatically.
Our system checks for unusual follower spikes, comment ratios, and audience overlap with known bot accounts. Influencers with a trust score below 70 are flagged for manual review.
You can also see historical performance data – what campaigns they've run, which brands they've worked with, and whether they delivered on time.
BrandStory vs. doing it yourself
Manual influencer marketing
Spreadsheets, endless DMs, manual tracking, and a pile of receipts. Reporting is a nightmare. You have no central view of performance.
BrandStory automates the repetitive parts – discovery, outreach, contracts, payments, and reporting. Your team focuses on creative strategy and relationship building.
Plus, you get compliance baked in. No more worrying about missing disclosure or incorrect contract terms.
Choose the plan that fits your campaign volume
All plans include full access to discovery, campaign management, and reporting. No hidden fees.

The UAE has specific rules for influencer marketing. BrandStory helps you follow them without extra work.
All contracts include mandatory disclosure clauses and compliance checklists based on the National Media Council guidelines. Our system reminds influencers to add #Ad or #Sponsored before publishing.
Payment records, contracts, and campaign approvals are stored in an immutable audit trail. If the authorities ask, you can produce everything in minutes.
