Social Media Case Study UAE

1,400% Instagram Growth for a Sharjah Restaurant Chain

A Sharjah restaurant group wanted a stronger social media presence across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. We built a bilingual content strategy focused on food storytelling, branch visibility, table bookings, and UAE audience engagement.

Project Overview

From Occasional Posts to a Consistent Restaurant Content Engine

The work focused on social media planning, bilingual captions, reels direction, campaign calendars, food photography guidance, offer creatives, and WhatsApp booking pathways.

The Challenge

The restaurant had loyal customers but inconsistent posting, limited bilingual content, and no clear link between social media activity and table booking enquiries.

The Strategy

We built a 12-month restaurant social media plan with recurring content pillars, branch-level visibility, Arabic-English captions, reels formats, and booking-focused calls to action.

Content Built Around Food, Community, and Bookings
