About the role: Digital marketing

Digital marketing professionals promote brands, products and services online. The field includes social media management, search engine optimisation (SEO), paid search and social advertising, email and CRM marketing, content creation, e-commerce and analytics.

The UAE has very high internet and smartphone use, and brands compete hard for attention online. Digital agencies in Dubai Media City and across the country recruit alongside in-house teams in retail and e-commerce, real estate, hospitality and tourism, automotive, education, healthcare and government entities. Campaigns are often bilingual, so Arabic content skills are in demand.

Employers expect practical experience with advertising platforms and analytics, and a portfolio of campaigns with results. Content creators who promote brands on social media should check the UAE Media Council's licensing rules for advertising content.
