How to choose advertising companies

1. Check the trade licence
Ask to see the agency's valid UAE trade licence and its licensed activities, and whether it is a mainland or free-zone company. That affects who you contract with and which law applies.
2. Ask about Arabic and English
If you advertise to both audiences, ask who writes and checks Arabic copy, whether it is written natively rather than translated, and who approves it before it goes live.
3. Know what is in house
Printing, outdoor sites, events and media buying are often subcontracted. Ask which work the agency does itself, which it buys in, and whether media is bought at cost or with a mark-up.
4. Check approvals for outdoor media
Outdoor and signage campaigns need permits and approved content. Ask who applies for them, how long approval usually takes, and who bears the cost if a design is rejected.
5. Agree reporting and ownership
Ask how results will be reported, how often, and who owns the creative files, ad accounts and website logins at the end of the contract.
6. Get fees and terms in writing
Request a written scope with retainer or project fees, payment dates, revision limits and notice period, so extra rounds of work and early exit are not left to discussion.
