💡 Why UAE brands on Moj matter — and why NZ creators should care
Moj’s short-form + live features make it a prime space for product demos that actually sell. UAE brands are chasing engagement — not just vanity metrics — and they prize creators who can spark conversations that turn into long-term customer relationships. Agencies in the UAE (for example, Socially.ae) often package creative, design and community playbooks that push reach beyond local borders — useful if you want to scale from a single demo into recurring campaigns.
For New Zealand creators, there’s a sweet spot here: Moj’s South Asia–MENA reach, combined with UAE budgets and appetite for polished live demos, means a single well-run session can open the door to repeat business and regional exposure. But you’ll need three things to make it happen: a clear outreach plan, a demo format that shows purchase intent, and cultural/operational savvy (timing, payment terms, language and compliance).
Below I lay out a practical playbook: how to find the right brands, craft messages that get replies, prep a demo that converts, and when to partner with a local agency like Socially.ae to scale.
📊 Data Snapshot: Outreach Options compared
| 🧩 Metric | Direct Brand Outreach | Agency Partnership (e.g., Socially.ae) | Platform Tools (Moj Ads / Live Boost) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👥 Monthly Active Reach | 150.000 | 1.200.000 | 800.000 |
| 📈 Expected Engagement | 6% | 15% | 8% |
| 💰 Typical Cost (per demo) | NZ$300–1.200 | NZ$2.000–8.000 | NZ$500–3.000 |
| 🛠️ Logistics Support | Low | High | Medium |
| 🌍 Market Lift | Local | Regional/Global | Local to Regional |
The table shows a trade-off: direct outreach is cheapest but limited in scale and support; platform tools give decent reach but require savvy execution; agencies deliver the biggest reach and polish, backing engagement with design and community strategies. If your goal is a single demo, start direct; if you want repeat regional rollouts, consider an agency partner like Socially.ae to lift engagement and creative assets.
🎯 Find and qualify UAE brands on Moj
• Search Moj for brand handles and local hashtags — think #Dubai, #AbuDhabi, #UAE, #MadeInUAE.
• Check brand bios and pinned content for contact details and typical post formats (do they run demos, unboxings, or Q&A?).
• Prioritise brands that show audience interaction in comments — UAE brands focused on engagement are likelier to fund live demos.
• Score prospects: Budget (high/med/low), Fit (product demo-friendly?), Decision route (in-house or via agency). If a brand lists an agency or PR contact, note that — it’s often the gatekeeper.
Practical tip: keep an outreach spreadsheet with Moj handle, contact email/website, last active date, recent live format, and a one‑line pitch idea.
✉️ A cold outreach script that actually works
Subject: Quick idea for a Moj live demo that sells — 20 mins
Hi [Name], I’m [You], a NZ creator specialising in live demos that drive sales. I’ve watched your Moj posts — love the [product or campaign]. I’ve got a tight 12–15 minute demo concept that highlights [key benefit], includes 2 live CTAs, and uses a limited-time offer to drive purchases.
I can host the demo from NZ, handle the creative and promo, and coordinate timings to suit UAE prime time. If interested, I’ll send a one‑sheet and sample clip. Happy to work on a flat fee + performance split.
Cheers,
[You] — [link to one‑pager / Moj profile]
Keep it short, outcome-focused and offer next steps (one-pager + sample clip). If they reply with “agency”, pivot to the agency contact and follow the same one-sheet.
💡 Demo format that converts on Moj
• Hook (10–20s): show the problem and the product in action.
• Proof (60–90s): quick demo of core benefit — use close-up shots and live Q&A.
• Social proof (30–60s): show reviews or live testimonials.
• CTA (30s): time-limited discount, link in bio, or promo code.
• Wrap (10–20s): repeat CTA and tell viewers how long the deal lasts.
Always test two CTAs: an immediate low-friction action (coupon code) and a longer-term capture (email/WhatsApp sign-up).

🧾 Contracts, payments and logistics — practical rules
• Payment: ask for a 30–50% upfront deposit for international gigs; final on delivery.
• Currency: invoice in USD or AED to avoid FX surprises.
• Shipping: if brands need product samples, clarify customs, duties and timelines up front.
• Legal: get brief written deliverables, rights (usage period), and cancellation terms.
• Time zones: schedule demos for UAE prime time (evening GST), and plan rehearsal slots in your NZ morning/afternoon.
🔎 Cultural and language quick wins
• English works across UAE digital audiences — but keep copy concise and neutral.
• Use local references sparingly and professionally — authenticity beats stereotypes.
• Respect Ramadan timings and major local holidays for scheduling.
🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How do I price my first demo for a UAE brand?
💬 Start with a modest flat fee plus a performance bonus — e.g., NZ$300–600 + 5–10% of tracked sales — then increase as you prove conversion.
🛠️ Can I run demos without being in the UAE?
💬 Yes — remote live demos are common. Ensure reliable internet, a rehearsal, and localised promo assets. If physical fulfilment is needed, coordinate with the brand or their UAE partner.
🧠 What metrics will UAE brands care about?
💬 Engagement rate, watch time, click-throughs to the purchase link, and actual conversions. Brands focused on long-term relationships value conversation metrics over one-off clicks.
🧩 Final Thoughts…
Reaching UAE brands on Moj is doable from NZ if you play it smart: find engagement-focused brands, craft compact outreach, build demo formats that push purchase intent, and know when to scale with an agency like Socially.ae. Start small, measure everything, and iterate — a single well-run demo can lead to recurring regional gigs.
