For years, many brands in Saudi Arabia have relied on international influencers to gain visibility and build social proof. While this can work in some cases, it often comes with high costs, logistical headaches, and—most importantly—a weak connection with the local audience. That’s where local Saudi influencers and content creators become a real strategic advantage.
Saudi consumers respond much better to content that reflects their reality: language, humor, values, and lifestyle. A local creator understands cultural nuances, trends, and what resonates during key moments such as Ramadan, Saudi National Day, back-to-school season, and more.

Platforms like Ta’theer create a structured ecosystem where brands can:
By leaning into local influencers and using dedicated tools to manage the process, Saudi brands can unlock deeper trust, higher engagement, and far more efficient campaigns.
