THE MIDDLE EAST RETAIL-MEDIA OPPORTUNITY

Beyond media buying
to decision intelligence.

Regional FMCG teams invest across marketplaces, delivery apps, retailer media and off-platform channels—yet allocation is often split across markets, agencies and spreadsheets.

Middle East shopper in a modern retail environment
ONE REGIONAL REALITYDifferent markets, retailers, fulfilment models and media inventories.
6priority GCC markets with different operating conditions
4+media environments that often coexist
1governed layer required to convert inputs into action
01

Input fragmentation

Planning is split across files, assumptions and owners.

02

Unclear prioritisation

Spend can follow habit or negotiation instead of evidence.

03

Weak scenario control

Market, retailer and SKU alternatives are hard to compare.

04

Untracked overrides

Valid business changes are made without structured rationale.

05

Disconnected execution

Activation files do not clearly link back to decision logic.
