How Much Does a Brand Campaign Cost in Dubai?

A transparent look at brand campaign production costs in Dubai and the UAE — what agencies charge, what drives pricing, and what great work actually costs.

One of the first questions brands ask when approaching a creative agency in Dubai is: what will this cost? The honest answer is that it depends — but that doesn't mean there are no useful benchmarks.

Why campaign costs vary so much in Dubai

The UAE has a uniquely diverse creative market. You can get a social media package from a freelancer for AED 2,000 a month, or a fully-produced luxury brand campaign from an agency for AED 500,000. Neither is inherently right or wrong — the question is what your brand actually needs.

Typical ranges for creative production in the UAE

  • Brand identity (logo, visual system, guidelines): AED 25,000 – 150,000
  • Photography campaign (1–2 day shoot, Dubai): AED 20,000 – 80,000
  • Social content package (monthly retainer): AED 8,000 – 35,000
  • Full campaign production (concept to delivery): AED 60,000 – 500,000+
  • Commercial film production (30s–60s): AED 80,000 – 400,000

What drives the cost up

  • Talent: international models or celebrities vs. local talent
  • Location: exclusive venues, desert permits, helicopter shots
  • Scope: number of deliverables, formats, markets
  • Timeline: rush fees can add 20–40% to any project
