Influencer Marketing for Manufacturers in Dubai Industrial City
Dubai Industrial City is one of the emirate’s main manufacturing hubs, with food, beverage and consumer goods makers among its tenants. OneHub runs influencer marketing in Dubai Industrial City for manufacturers that want products made in the UAE to become brands shoppers recognise, choose and buy again. Located in the south of Dubai, the district hosts factories that supply supermarkets, restaurants and export markets across the region. Many have excellent products and strong trade relationships, but little direct connection with the families who eat, drink and use what they make. Creators build that connection.
Made in the UAE is a story worth telling
Shoppers like to know where a product comes from. A creator walking through a clean, modern plant makes that point better than a line on the pack. Local production signals freshness and quality control, and it can be a real reason to choose your product over an import. Where you allow filming, we plan factory visits around hygiene rules and production schedules, and you approve every frame before it is published.
Campaigns for food and beverage makers
- Recipes and taste tests. Home cooks using your product in everyday meals.
- Family routines. Lunchboxes, breakfasts and quick dinners for busy parents.
- Ramadan content. Iftar recipes and table ideas through our Ramadan influencer campaign service.
- Launches. New flavours, sizes and limited editions.
We use food influencers and parenting influencers in the UAE whose followers see them cooking and shopping every week. For more on the category, see food influencer marketing in the UAE.
Campaigns for consumer goods makers
Cleaning, personal care and household brands sell through demonstration. UGC creators in Dubai film product demos, before-and-after results and value comparisons against imported alternatives, while family and lifestyle creators show the product in real home routines. With usage rights agreed, these videos also work on retailer pages, delivery apps and in your paid ads.
Supporting your retail listings
A new supermarket listing is a valuable opportunity that can be lost if the product does not move. We schedule creator content for the weeks when the product first reaches the shelf, naming the stores and delivery apps where it is sold, and time it to in-store promotions. This also helps your sales team: showing a buyer the content and reach behind a launch makes it easier to secure better placement and more stores. Our retail influencers are briefed specifically for this kind of in-store support.
Building pull demand
When shoppers start asking for a product by name, retailers notice. Store managers report the requests, category buyers see the sell-through, and distributors in export markets ask for more stock. Creator campaigns give your sales team proof that consumers want the product, which strengthens every negotiation over listings, shelf position and promotional support.
How OneHub runs a manufacturer campaign
- Brief. You share your range, retail partners and upcoming listings.
- Shortlist. We filter 10,000+ verified creators by category, emirate and audience quality.
- Claims check. We agree permitted claims about ingredients, nutrition and certifications.
- Content. Products are delivered or creators visit the plant; you approve every draft.
- Reporting. Reach, engagement, store mentions and sales signals by creator.
Proof and export markets
OneHub has run campaigns for health, nutrition and FMCG brands in the UAE; see our health, nutrition and FMCG case study. For products exported to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf markets, we run the same campaign with creators in each country, reviewed by our native Arabic-speaking team and reported by market.
Content you can reuse
With usage rights agreed in each contract, creator videos can be used on your social pages, in paid ads, on retailer and delivery-app pages and in trade presentations. Videos are delivered in the formats each channel needs, with Arabic and English subtitles, and labelled by product so your team can find the right clip when a retailer asks for material.
Compliance
Creators who post on their own accounts hold a valid UAE Media Council Advertiser Permit, every sponsored post is labelled as advertising, and food and nutrition claims are checked against your packaging and approvals before filming.
A staged approach
Manufacturers new to consumer marketing do not need a large first campaign. We often start with a set of product and recipe videos, then a small group of nano influencers around a single listing or promotion, and expand once results are clear.
Manufacturers nearby also work with us in Dubai Investments Park, and distributors often sit in Jebel Ali Free Zone. Share your range and upcoming listings, and we will propose creators and timing. Start a campaign.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can creators visit and film our plant?
Yes, if you allow it. You set the areas, hygiene rules and times, and approve the content before it is published. Visits are planned around production so the line is not disrupted.
We sell through supermarkets, not online. Is influencer marketing still useful?
Yes. Content tells shoppers which stores stock the product, can be timed to promotions, and gives your sales team evidence of demand when negotiating with retailers.
Which creators suit food manufacturers?
Home cooks, family creators and community creators, because their followers see them cooking and shopping every week and trust their choices.
Can you support a new supermarket listing?
Yes. We schedule creator content for the weeks when the product first reaches the shelf, naming the stores and delivery apps where it can be found.
Do you run campaigns in export markets?
Yes. We work with creators in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait, with Arabic content reviewed by our team and results reported by market.
