The Ask
A global car maker aimed to strengthen its brand visibility in key GCC markets while simultaneously driving qualified leads for its range of models. The brand required a full-funnel digital approach, beginning with awareness to maximize reach and engagement, followed by lead generation to convert interest into actionable results.

Regular performance reporting and optimization ensured high-quality lead delivery aligned with the client’s CRM expectations.
