The Digital Advertising scenario in UAE is facing stiff times. Marketers who were investing heavily in print and outdoor media are reconsidering their decisions due to no accountability and assured RoI on marketing spending in UAE. As per a recent Gulf News report, ‘Print ads suffer in soft UAE market’; marketers now feel less convinced about advertising in print. Advertisers have cut down their budgets, making the publishing and the OOH industry suffer even more.
In such a slow scenario, digital advertising in Dubai is emerging as hope for marketers.
To quote another Gulf News report, the biggest social media giants like Facebook and Twitter are exploring new possibilities in advertising to the money inflow from existing advertisers. This means more popularity of video ads, Canvas ads, Sponsored posts, GIFs, sponsored tweets and the list is ever-growing.
There is no slump in Google Ads as well. The leader of the online advertising market is expected to increase at about 7 percent a year in 2016 and 2017. All thanks to the steady transition from desktop to mobile-friendly ads.
