The story

How we grewDubai Chocolates

Where they were

Dubai Chocolates sells premium Dubai-style bars across Europe and grows through paid social, which runs on fresh creative. Recruiting creators, writing briefs, chasing videos and checking quality was eating the internal team’s week, and the co-founder had already been through four other UGC agencies.

What we decided

We took the whole pipeline off their hands and refused to brief for “nice videos”. One multi-bar brief covered eight flavours and three buying moments: the authentic Dubai experience, the PMS craving and the honest treat-yourself. Every video followed a tested ad structure, with three hooks, unboxing, taste test, benefits, honest review and a call to action, plus raw footage so editors could recut. The brand’s strongest proof points, a full refund guarantee and drops that sell out in days, went into every script, and creators filmed in English, Dutch, French and German.

What happened

100 creators delivered 300 ad-ready videos inside 90 days, giving the media buyers a library of hooks, angles and languages to test without waiting on production. The system stayed: sourcing, standard briefs and monthly delivery now run as an engine the brand plugs into whenever it needs fresh assets.

FAQ

Questions aboutthis program

Straight answers on cost, content and fit, from the team that ran it.

How many videos did Dubai Chocolates get, and how fast?

300 ad-ready videos from 100 vetted UGC creators, delivered inside 90 days from kickoff, in English, Dutch, French and German.

What does briefing for buying moments mean?

Instead of asking creators for nice videos, one multi-bar brief covered three reasons people buy: the authentic Dubai experience, the PMS craving and the honest treat-yourself. Each video tests one of those reasons, so the media buyers learn which one sells.

What made the videos ready to run as ads?

Every video followed a tested ad structure: three hooks, unboxing, taste test, benefits, honest review and a call to action. Creators also sent raw footage, so the brand’s editors could recut winners.

Did the creators post the videos on their own channels?

No. The videos went straight into the brand’s ad account for paid social, which is why the library was built for testing hooks, angles and languages rather than for organic reach.

Could this work for my brand?

It fits D2C brands doing $500K to $5M a year that run paid social and need fresh creative every month. Book a free 30-minute strategy call and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.
