Paid media agency · Direct to brands

The paid media team you don't have to hire.

I run paid advertising for brands in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and across the GCC, and for a few further out in the US and India. You get a buyer inside your account every day, a dashboard that never flatters the numbers, and a note every two weeks in plain English telling you what changed and why.

15 minutes on a call. You get a straight answer either way.

The short version

Nsouly is a paid media agency in the GCC, planning, buying and managing advertising for brands selling direct to customers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, across the wider Middle East including Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt, and for selected brands in the United States and India. Founded by Omar Nsouly, who has been buying ads for 14 years. Pricing is published in full on this page, with a calculator, rather than quoted on request.

Why people call me

Buying paid media usually feels like being robbed politely.

Not because the people are dishonest. Because the whole model is built so that you cannot check. Three things happen to almost everyone before they call me.

The report answers questions you never asked

Twelve tabs and forty metrics, and not one of them tells you whether last month made money. You forward it to your accountant and they ask you the same question you were about to ask them.

Nobody will tell you what it costs

Every agency site says get in touch for pricing. You sit through a discovery call, then a proposal, and two weeks later you finally learn a number that should have taken ten seconds.

You never meet the person running your account

You meet the founder in the pitch and an account manager forever after. Whoever is actually inside your ad account every day is someone you have never spoken to.

What you actually see

You will always know what I changed, and why.

The login is yours on day one and the numbers update on their own. Every two weeks I write you a note in plain English. Not a meeting, not a deck. Something you can read in ninety seconds and forward to your finance person without translating it.

Note from Omar, 14 October

Meta is carrying the month. TikTok is not working at this budget so I cut it to $200 a day and moved the rest to Advantage+. The new UGC set is beating the studio ads by 40 percent on cost per purchase, so I have briefed three more in the same style. Nothing needs a decision from you.

  • Strategy, build and daily management on every platform
  • Creative direction, briefing and copy testing
  • Pixel, SDK and conversion tracking set up properly
  • Live dashboard plus a written note every two weeks
  • Slack access, no meeting required
  • Pause or cancel after month two
The work

I direct the creative. I do not pretend to make it.

Vertical video, feed statics, carousels, bumpers. I write the brief, decide what runs, and judge it against sales rather than applause. Your team or your producer shoots it. My job is to kill the ones that are not working before they cost you a month.

How it works

What the first thirty days look like.

No onboarding phase that quietly eats a month. Access on day one, live in week two, first written note two weeks after that.

Week 0

We talk for 15 minutes

I look at your account, your margins and what you have already tried. If I am not the right person for this I will tell you on that call, and usually tell you who is.

Week 1

I build it and put it live

Access, tracking, audiences, campaign structure, budgets and the first round of creative briefs. You approve, I ship. Live inside a week on most accounts.

Week 4

You stop wondering

Your dashboard is live from day one and the first written note lands two weeks in. If something is not working you hear it from me before you notice it yourself.

Platforms we run

LocationGeofenced targeting down to a single building

Connected TV covers the smart TV and streaming inventory that is actually buyable in the Gulf, bought through the sales house or reseller that holds it. I will tell you which one on the call rather than pretend I own the relationship.

Read this part twice

What I don't do.

Most of what makes an agency feel expensive is the part nobody names out loud. Here it is named, before you ask.

I don't pretend the fee is flat forever

Below a certain budget you pay one number and nothing else. Above it I take a small share of the extra, and that share gets smaller as your budget grows. The whole thing is further down this page with a calculator, so you can see your exact number before we ever speak.

I don't lock you into a year

Two months minimum, because one month of data tells you nothing and I will not pretend otherwise. After that it is month to month. Pause when you like.

I don't hide where the money went

Whatever setup your account runs in, you see the spend, the result and the reasoning. Every fortnight, in writing, without asking for it.

I don't hand you over and disappear

The person on the call is the person in your account. If it grows to where I bring someone in, you meet them first, and I am still the one you call.

I don't do everything

No SEO, no PR, no brand strategy, no websites. Paid media is the whole job. If you want one agency for all of it, I am the wrong call and I will say so.

Questions

What people ask me before signing anything.

What does the first month look like?

Week one is access, audit and the media plan. Week two the campaigns go live. After that it is testing and scaling. You will see spend moving inside seven days, and you will get a written note before you have to ask for one.

What happens to my campaigns if we stop working together?

You keep the work. The campaign structures, the audiences, the creative and the tracking are yours, documented, and handed over properly. No hostage taking, no month of silence while someone finds the passwords. I will tell you what I would do next even after you have stopped paying me.

What if it doesn't work?

Two months minimum, then cancel whenever you like. If I cannot make the numbers work I will tell you, rather than let you spend three months finding out on your own. I would rather lose the retainer than have you tell people it did not work.

Do you write the ads?

I write and test the ad copy, I write the briefs and I direct what gets made. I do not shoot or edit, that is not my trade and I am not going to pretend it is. If you have a creative team I work with them. If you don't, I will point you at someone good and you pay them directly.

Will I be talking to you or to an account manager?

Me. There is no pod, no handover, no junior who inherits the account in month three. That is also the reason I do not take on everyone who asks.

How many platforms do you run?

As many as the budget carries, and usually fewer than you expect. A platform needs roughly $1,500 a month before it can learn anything, so $5,000 is about three and $15,000 is more than you probably need. Split a small budget across eight platforms and each one gets a trickle, which buys you eight algorithms that never work out who your buyer is. I would rather win on one platform than be mediocre on six. If you want a specific platform the budget does not really justify, I will tell you what it costs you elsewhere and let you decide.

How much do I need to be spending?

Enough that the fee is a sensible share of the total, which is a lower bar than most people assume. If you are not there yet, take the audit instead. You get the plan and the number it would take, and I will tell you honestly when to come back. I would rather do that than take a monthly fee I cannot earn.

Pricing

Move the slider. That is the whole pricing page.

Most agencies quote a percentage and stop talking. This is the whole thing. Move it to whatever you spend today and you will see your exact number, before you speak to anyone, including me.

$5,000
$2.5k$25k$50k$100k+
Fixed fee$1,095
On the spend above $2,500$0
$1,095
a month, everything included

Book a call
How the fee is built
$1,095Base fee, every month
+8%$2.5k to $10k
+7%$10k to $25k
+5%$25k to $50k
+4%$50k to $100k
CustomAbove $100k

So $5,000 of spend is $1,095 plus 8 percent of the $2,500 above the threshold. $1,295. Each rate only touches the spend inside its own band, the way tax brackets work, so crossing a line never jumps your bill.

Whatever the account setup, you see every dollar of it. That is the part that does not change.

Not spending yet

The audit. $750, once.

A written plan, the platform your money actually justifies, and the number it would really take. It comes off your first month if you hire me.

Omar Nsouly

15 minutes, and you will know if this is worth doing.

You get me on the call, not a salesperson. Fill this in first so I turn up knowing your business instead of spending the call asking what you sell.

  1. You tell me the basics. Two minutes, and it saves ten on the call.
  2. You pick a time. The calendar opens as soon as you send this.
  3. We talk. If we are not the right fit I will say so on that call.
Roughly what does the business turn over a month?
Are you running paid ads right now?

No newsletter, no drip sequence. This goes to me and nowhere else.
