An Al Fahidi social media agency that plans every post around who your customers are
Around Al Seef and the old town lanes, an events company can have a feed built from its own set ups after one planning conversation, with a WhatsApp prompt closing each post and the fee named once we have talked.
An Al Fahidi events company has coral coloured walls to film against, and no stock feed offers that
Scroll through a handful of events accounts and the pictures start to repeat: a ballroom, a balloon arch, a banner that says congratulations. Cover the name and the company could be anywhere. Al Fahidi hands an organiser a different setting. Houses of coral coloured stone, built with sandalwood and palm fronds, stand along the sikkas, narrow lanes that Gulf News says began to develop in the 1890s, and every year the Sikka Art Fair, begun in 2011, turns them into exhibition space. The Dubai Coins Museum and the Coffee Museum sit among the usual stops, and Khaleej Times lists Al Seef beside the neighbourhood. None of our sources names an events company here, so the one described below is a worked example; the calendar, the WhatsApp finish and the fee are all settled in a single call.
A Dubai wide events feed set beside one made for Al Fahidi
A Dubai wide events feed shows ballrooms, balloons and a stock crowd. An Al Fahidi events company can show something a viewer recognises: a courtyard prepared for an evening, a stage built between coral coloured walls, a table laid for guests who will walk in from the Metro. Every clip finishes with a tap to WhatsApp whose first line names Al Fahidi, or a pointer to the right page on the Al Fahidi site. We promise no guest numbers or dates in a post, because the organiser alone can confirm what is booked.
Platforms for an Al Fahidi events company: 2 to start, the rest later
Instagram carries event footage well: a short clip of a set up, a reel of the evening, a carousel of a venue before and after. WhatsApp sits behind every post as the place where enquiries land. Facebook can hold event pages and longer announcements for an older audience, LinkedIn matters when the company sells to businesses planning a launch or a conference, and TikTok suits only a team willing to film every week. Google Business Profile posts reach people searching near the Coffee Museum, which suits an Al Fahidi company chasing local enquiries. The call picks one or 2; the remainder wait until a reason appears.
A calendar the Al Fahidi team can keep, settled at the first call
A planned rhythm outlasts a burst of posting. On that call we lay out the month against the events already booked, the venues in the lanes and the empty stretches between jobs, when feeds usually fall silent. Clips from behind the scenes fill the quiet weeks, and highlights follow a finished job. No post count is promised; a pace your crew can hold beats a number it will miss. Approval is yours before anything is published, and a quiet fortnight in an Al Fahidi diary lets us reshape the plan within a week.
Every Al Fahidi event post ends in a WhatsApp chat
A viewer who wants a quote for a gathering, a date checked or a venue idea taps once. Tapping the prompt opens WhatsApp with a ready made opening line that mentions Al Fahidi, so the company sees at once where the idea came from. Replies come into the number the crew already carries, tagged by post, and each one is tallied in that month's report. An events enquiry usually has a date and a headcount attached, so the first reply asks for both and the talk starts from facts.
Google Business Profile updates for people searching around Al Fahidi
Posts on the Google profile can show a new package, a photograph from a finished set up or an offer for an off peak date. Someone in Al Fahidi typing events company beside Sharaf DG Metro Station sees those updates next to the company's name, and each takes minutes once the Instagram clip exists. Instagram builds familiarity with people who were not looking, while the profile meets people who are. We keep the profile's name, hours and phone number in line with the licence, so the update and the listing agree.
Monthly reporting for Al Fahidi events in plain words
Messages come first on the page, then the enquiries that turned into bookings in your own judgement, saves, profile visits and, a long way behind, followers. A large audience that never writes is a vanity figure, so it sits at the bottom. The report also says which clips and which venues drew messages, so the next calendar leans towards them and away from what drew none. It is written in sentences and short enough to read between 2 jobs.
An Al Fahidi events company sells a day it has not yet staged, so the feed has to show real set ups and the people behind them. The call decides which jobs, venues and dates are worth filming.
The events you run most often, who books them and how far ahead an enquiry arrives. Existing accounts, saved footage and photographs, and which phone answers WhatsApp during a job. Which parts of Al Fahidi feature in your work, and which platforms your clients actually open.
- An events company that wants organisers, galleries and hotels to see its set ups and have a number to message.
- A photography studio or signage maker working beside it that would like posts timed to event dates.
- A cafe or coffee roaster hosting evenings and hoping to be remembered by the people who attend.
Frequently asked questions
We have just opened in Al Fahidi. Where do we start on social media?
With a conversation, before any account is touched. We want to know who books you, what footage exists and which events you would like more of; a calendar and a quote follow. Nothing goes online until you have approved the first month. A new Al Fahidi events company usually has little footage, so the opening weeks rely on what the crew films at live set ups, following a short shot list that we write. You can end the arrangement at the 12 month point.
Do you create the content for Al Fahidi businesses?
Planning, captions, editing and scheduling are ours. The raw material is your own: existing clips plus whatever the crew shoots at a job, directed by a shot list from us, since the company is the one standing at the set up near Al Seef. A guest's face goes into a post only with written consent. Where an Al Fahidi business holds nothing yet, the first call settles how to start, and the fee is named afterwards.
Which platforms should an Al Fahidi business be on?
Usually Instagram and a Google Business Profile, with WhatsApp as the destination for both. An events company can add Facebook for announcements or LinkedIn for corporate buyers, and TikTok only if a team is happy to film each week. The first call recommends one or 2 for your Al Fahidi customers around the Coffee Museum and leaves the others shut, so replies stay quick and nothing looks abandoned.
Do the posts link to our Al Fahidi pages?
Yes. A post finishes in one of 2 places, a WhatsApp chat or the matching page of your Al Fahidi website, where the wording repeats what the viewer has just seen. Our SEO work for Al Fahidi answers people who search by name or event type near the Majlis Gallery. Should you boost a post later, the spend is separate and paid directly by you to Meta; paid ads in Al Fahidi sets out how.
Can you use the photos and videos our Al Fahidi business already has?
Yes, and we begin there. For an Al Fahidi events company that means whatever it holds: clips from past events, photographs of set ups, old posts and brochures. We sort the lot into what can run unchanged, what needs retouching and what stays in the drawer, then list the gaps that matter. Often the stock, a Sikka Art Fair evening perhaps, is richer than the owner thinks, and the missing piece is a calendar and captions rather than a new shoot. Guests' faces appear only with consent.
What do you report on for Al Fahidi social media?
4 measures, once a month, in sentences: messages that followed posts, enquiries and bookings you attribute to them, saves and shares, and profile visits. Followers are counted and kept in proportion. For an Al Fahidi events company the report also names the clips and venues near Al Seef that drew messages, so the next calendar moves towards them.
Social posts for the lanes around the Creek can be read alongside Al Raffa, Bur Dubai and Al Mankhool, which follow the same rules on other streets. What an Al Fahidi events company gains from the method is footage that is recognisably from here, an approval step before anything goes live, and an inbox that fills from WhatsApp. Our Al Fahidi overview shows how the other services fit, and the citywide routine is described on our Dubai social media page. To begin, book a consultation.
