Inputs
Estimates use Dubai-market benchmarks: senior digital marketer ~AED 30k/month fully loaded; mid-market agency retainer ~AED 18k per discipline per month plus 15% management fee on media; VIMDRIVE platform fee scales with discipline count and content volume. Real figures vary — book a call for a tailored quote.
Per-discipline retainer plus 15% media management fee. Scales linearly with disciplines. Typically two-week brief-and-revision cycles. Performance optimisation is a billable line item.
Salaries, benefits, and platform tooling. Full focus on your brand — but capped at the bandwidth of the team you can afford. Spans three disciplines well; six disciplines stretches it thin.
Fixed monthly platform fee plus performance component. All disciplines covered by the agent infrastructure. Continuous optimisation, real-time reporting, no hourly billing.
