Overview

Snapchat Advertising That Reaches the Mobile-First Audience

Globally, over 293 million people use Snapchat every day. Over 10 billion videos are viewed every day. Over 3 billion snaps are created every day. Snapchat is huge with Gen-Z and Millennials in the UAE, and the platform's full-screen, sound-on, vertical-video environment is built for high-impact mobile advertising. The swipe-up rate on Snap Ads is roughly 5× higher than the average click-through rate on comparable platforms. (Source: Snapchat Internal Data)

We help UAE brands plan and run every Snapchat ad format — from sponsored Geofilters that turn local events into branded moments, to AR Lenses that get shared by users themselves, to performance Snap Ads with Snap Pixel attribution back to your website conversions.

For Geofilters, the maximum area you can select is 5,000,000 sq ft at a time, and campaigns can run anywhere from 1 hour to 30 days. The cost varies by location — a high-traffic spot like Dubai Mall can cost around $700 per hour, while Palm Jumeirah is closer to $200 per hour. Geofilters uniquely allow brands to take part in the hundreds of millions of Snaps sent each day — from a single venue to every mall in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and beyond.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Snapchat ad cost in the UAE?

Snap Ads typically run AED 14.70–73.40 CPM and AED 1.83–7.34 CPC. Story Ads and Commercials cost more, often starting at AED 73,400 for major campaigns. Custom Geofilters for small local areas can cost as little as AED 367 — national Lenses can run AED 183,500+.

How much does a Snapchat Geofilter cost?

Geofilter pricing depends on location and duration. As a guide: a high-traffic area like Dubai Mall can run around $700 per hour, while Palm Jumeirah is closer to $200 per hour. The maximum coverage is 5,000,000 sq ft per Geofilter and they can run from 1 hour to 30 days. We give you an exact quote based on your venue.

Are Snapchat ads worth it?

For brands targeting Gen-Z and Millennials, yes — Snapchat has 293M+ daily users globally with 30+ minutes per day on the app, full-screen ad formats, precise targeting, and proven case studies. Brands like Taco Bell and Gatorade successfully used Snapchat ads to promote their campaigns and saw significant engagement. It's not the right channel for older B2B audiences.

What is the minimum Snapchat ad budget?

Snap Ads can start with a daily budget of about $5–10 (~AED 18–37). Most full campaigns require a minimum total budget of around $100. We usually recommend at least AED 5,000 of monthly media spend for meaningful learning and optimisation.

How do I buy Snapchat ads in Dubai?

Here are the steps to start Snapchat Ads:

  1. Create a Snapchat Ads Account: Sign up for Snapchat Ads Manager.
  2. Set Up Your Campaign: Define your campaign objectives — brand awareness, lead generation, or sales.
  3. Target Your Audience: Use Snapchat's targeting options based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and location.
  4. Create Ad Content: Develop engaging ad creatives using Snapchat's tools.
  5. Set Your Budget and Schedule: Define your daily and total budget and schedule.
  6. Launch and Monitor: Launch your campaign and monitor performance using Snapchat's analytics tools.

Or partner with us and we handle every one of those steps for you.

What do you need from us to launch?
