Why MENA brands over-invest in retargeting, and what to do instead
Retargeting looks good on paper. Low CPA, high ROAS, strong reported returns. But in most accounts it is the biggest source of invisible waste.
How to read your agency's monthly report, and what they're not showing you
Most agency reports are built to look good, not to be useful. Here is what to ask for instead and the red flags to watch for.

Common questions
An independent review of your digital advertising accounts covering campaign structure, targeting, creative performance, attribution, and budget allocation. The goal is to identify where budget is wasted and where performance can improve. This is done without the conflict of interest an agency managing your accounts would have.
An agency auditing its own work has an inherent conflict of interest. MediaAudit is fully independent. No managed services, no retainer tied to your ad spend. Every finding is objective and benchmarked against real market data from MENA and European campaigns.

What people say about working with Emile
Recommendations from brand partners, agency colleagues, and client contacts across MENA and Europe.
Emile managed an important client relationship during my time at Google and it was always great doing so. He managed the business as if it was his own and challenged all stakeholders meaningfully towards objectives that mattered. His experience in the industry always made it a seamless collaboration.
Emile is an exceptionally knowledgeable media professional with strong expertise in digital and social media planning, buying, and campaign optimisation. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to simplify complex media concepts and performance metrics, making them easy to understand and act upon for non-media specialists.
He quickly became the digital lead within my team, supporting key clients including IKEA Saudi Arabia and Bupa Arabia. What I appreciated most was his ability to look beyond the day-to-day requirements of a campaign, always thinking about how clients could deliver stronger business outcomes.
