Discuss ServiceResults We've Delivered
Our campaigns have generated millions of impressions and significant revenue for pet brands across the UAE. Here are a few examples of what our approach achieves.
A premium pet food brand came to us looking to increase brand awareness among cat owners in Dubai. We ran a three-month campaign with 12 micro-influencers, each posting twice per week. The campaign reached 2.4 million unique users and drove a 15% lift in website traffic.
For a veterinary clinic chain, we focused on local awareness across Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Using a mix of influencer visits and review posts, we booked over 500 new appointments within two months – a 300% increase compared to their previous marketing efforts.
A pet accessory retailer wanted to boost sales of their new leather collar line. We collaborated with 15 influencers who shared unboxing and styling videos. The line sold out within two weeks, and the retailer reported a 4.7x return on their influencer investment.
Our campaigns consistently outperform industry benchmarks. The average engagement rate for pet influencer content in the UAE is 2.8%, but our campaigns average 8.2%. This is because we prioritize authentic storytelling over hard selling.
We also focus on long-term relationships. 85% of our clients run repeat campaigns, and many have been with us for over two years. This loyalty comes from consistent results, transparent reporting, and a genuine understanding of the pet market.
Every campaign is a learning opportunity. We use A/B testing on content formats, posting times, and call-to-action phrasing. The data we collect improves future campaigns, meaning your ROI grows with every partnership.
How We Vet Pet Influencers
Not all pet influencers deliver real value. That's why we have a rigorous vetting process that goes beyond surface-level metrics.
We start by analyzing an influencer's audience demographics – age, location, interests, and purchasing behaviour. We look for a high percentage of followers within the UAE and a genuine interest in pets. Then we check engagement quality: we weed out accounts with high bot activity or engagement pods. Our team manually reviews the content style to ensure it aligns with your brand's tone and values.
After the initial vetting, we run a small test campaign with the influencer to measure actual engagement and conversion rates. Only those who meet our performance benchmarks are added to our network. This process reduces risk and ensures every campaign starts with influencers who can deliver.
BrandStory vs. Managing In-House
Working with an agency saves you time, money, and headaches.
When you partner with BrandStory, you get a dedicated team with deep market knowledge. We already have relationships with the top pet influencers, so you skip the cold outreach. We negotiate rates, handle contracts, and manage content approvals. Plus, our reporting tools give you insights that would take months to build internally. You focus on your core business; we handle the campaigns.
DIY: You spend hours searching for influencers, negotiating deals, and managing relationships. Without data, you guess which influencers actually drive sales. Content quality varies, and tracking ROI is nearly impossible. One mistake – like a compliance violation – can lead to fines or brand damage.
With BrandStory: We handle everything. Your campaign is based on data, not hunches. We ensure all content complies with UAE advertising laws. You get a single dashboard with real-time results. And because we work at scale, we often secure better rates than you could alone.

UAE Advertising Regulations for Pet Influencers
The UAE has strict rules for influencer marketing. We ensure every campaign stays compliant, protecting your brand from fines and reputational risk.
Under UAE law, all sponsored content must be clearly labelled as advertising. Influencers must use disclosures like #ad, #sponsored, or the official UAE tag #إعلان (meaning 'advertisement'). We include these requirements in every influencer contract and review each post before publication to ensure compliance.
For pet-related products, additional regulations apply – for example, any health claims about pet food must be substantiated. We work with legal advisors to review all claims in campaign content. Our process also covers endorsement authenticity rules: influencers must have actually used the product before promoting it.
Integrating Pet Influencers with Your Marketing Strategy
Pet influencer marketing works best when it's part of a broader strategy. We ensure your influencer campaigns complement your existing channels.
We start by mapping your customer journey. Where do pet owners discover new brands? What content influences their purchase decisions? We then design influencer campaigns that fill gaps in your current marketing mix – whether that's social proof, educational content, or local reach.
Our team coordinates with your PR, email, and paid media teams to ensure consistent messaging. For example, an influencer's unboxing video can be repurposed for email newsletters and social ads. This integration multiplies the impact of your influencer investment without increasing costs. Learn About Our Integration Process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from brands exploring pet influencer marketing in the UAE.
How do you select the right pet influencers for my brand?
We start by understanding your target audience, brand values, and campaign goals. Then we search our database of 150+ vetted influencers, filtering by location, audience demographics, engagement rate, and content style. We present a shortlist of 5–10 candidates with detailed profiles. You have final approval before we proceed.
What metrics do you track to measure campaign success?
We track impressions, reach, engagement rate (likes, comments, saves), click-through rate, follower growth, and conversions (website visits, sign-ups, sales). For e-commerce campaigns we also track promo code usage and attribution links. All data is available in a live dashboard.
How long does a typical campaign take from start to finish?
The planning phase takes 1–2 weeks (influencer selection, contract, brief). Content creation takes another 1–2 weeks. The campaign itself runs for 4–12 weeks depending on package. So you can expect first posts within 3–4 weeks from kickoff.
Do you handle content creation or do the influencers do it themselves?
Both options are available. Many influencers prefer to create their own content for authenticity. We provide detailed briefs and approve all posts before publishing. If you prefer branded content, our production team can create assets that influencers share. We recommend a mix for best results.
What are the costs for a pet influencer campaign?
Costs vary based on number of influencers, campaign duration, content volume, and whether paid amplification is included. Our Starter package begins at around AED 15,000. Most mid-range campaigns cost AED 30,000–60,000. Enterprise campaigns start at AED 80,000. We'll provide a detailed quote after understanding your needs.
How do you ensure compliance with UAE advertising laws?
Every influencer contract includes mandatory disclosure requirements. Our team reviews each post for proper labeling (#ad, #sponsored, or #إعلان). We also check that any product claims are substantiated. For sensitive categories like pet food, we involve legal counsel. Our vetting process ensures influencers understand and agree to compliance terms.
