“Premium sneaker retail in the GCC is crowded — we needed discovery and conversion without a six-figure agency retainer.”

Challenge

New brand entering a competitive premium sneaker market in the Gulf — no store, no organic presence, no paid history. Brands like Adidas, New Balance, Veja, and HOKA need curated merchandising and local trust signals.

Approach

• →Shopify store launch — catalog, collections (Men/Women/New Releases), GCC delivery positioning
• →Automated SEO content farm — product/category/editorial articles targeting sneaker and brand-intent queries
• →Google Ads — Shopping and Search campaigns for high-intent buyers in UAE/GCC
• →Conversion path: product pages, wishlist, WhatsApp support integration
