THE BRIEF
Authentic voices, not just reach
Since February 2026, OneHub has partnered with TOEFL to build test-prep awareness and engagement among Arabic-speaking students through a series of micro-influencer campaigns. Rather than chasing follower counts, the approach leans on smaller, highly-engaged creators from UAE dance culture to a Yemen-based live Q&A to make English test prep feel personal and relatable.
