During a marketing workshop in Eastern Province last month, I was surprised when a business owner told me he was paying five thousand SAR monthly to his "digital marketing experts saudi expert" who turned out to be a young amateur running campaigns from his bedroom!

When I spoke to our current agency, they showed me exactly how they helped a company similar to ours grow their Riyadh customer base by two hundred fifteen percent in eight months.
