Influencer marketing agency for brands in Saudi Arabia

Kudozz plans and runs influencer campaigns for brands selling in Saudi Arabia. We start from one objective and an audience defined by city, age and language, shortlist Saudi creators who hold a valid Mawthooq licence, brief them in Arabic in the right dialect, and report results in SAR against the KPI agreed before launch.

This page covers Riyadh, Jeddah, the Eastern Province and the rest of the Kingdom. We plan Saudi Arabia as its own market rather than as an extension of a UAE campaign.

Coverage: Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and the Eastern Province, and the rest of the Kingdom. Rules on this page last checked October 2026.

How Kudozz works in Saudi Arabia

Full campaigns or single services: strategy, creator discovery, outreach and contracts, content approvals, publishing and reporting.

Saudi creators with a valid Mawthooq licence, checked before shortlisting.

Arabic-first briefs adapted to dialect and region, with English where the audience needs it.

Kudozz Studios Private Limited is registered in India. Contracting, invoicing currency and working hours are agreed per campaign, so ask us how they would work for yours.

Platforms, languages and timing

  • Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube carry much of Saudi creator marketing; Instagram and X matter for specific audiences and categories.

  • Arabic first, adapted to Najdi, Hijazi or other dialects where the audience is regional; English for some expatriate and B2B audiences.

  • Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Saudi National Day (23 September) and seasonal events shape timing.

Rules we plan around in Saudi Arabia

A summary for planning, not legal advice. Rules change, so we re-check them against the sources below before each campaign.

Creators need a Mawthooq licence

Influencers who advertise in Saudi Arabia need a Mawthooq licence issued by the General Authority for Media Regulation (GAMR). We check the licence before a creator is shortlisted and keep a record for the campaign file.

Content standards and claims

Content must respect Saudi media content standards, and health, financial and other regulated claims need the relevant approvals. We review drafts for claims and cultural fit before anything goes live.

Personal data

Lead-generation and competition campaigns must follow Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law, in force since 14 September 2023.

What to send us for a proposal

  • Your product, price point and where Saudi customers buy it.

  • The cities and audience you need, and whether you need regional dialects.

  • One primary objective and how you will measure it (sales, installs, leads, footfall or reach).

  • Your budget range in SAR or USD and any fixed dates.

  • Brand guidelines and any Arabic copy you already use.

  • Whether your category needs approvals for claims.

Questions to ask any agency, including us

  • Which creators would you shortlist, and why? Ask for the reasons, not just handles.

  • How do you check that a creator's audience is actually in this market?

  • Which local licences, disclosure rules and sector approvals apply, and who checks them?

  • Are creator fees shown separately from agency fees?

  • What will the report show, and which KPI will it be measured against?
