Creators whose paid acquisition I personally ran during my time at Genflow. Their work and audiences belong to them — what GrowthArc carries forward is the operating standard built running their accounts at scale.

One engine. Two audiences. A senior paid + creative shop the Middle East didn't have until now.

Most ME brands hire generic local agencies that can't run paid acquisition at caliber, or Western agencies that don't speak the language and don't understand the market. GrowthArc is the only operator with both — Genflow operating standard, regional cultural fluency, sized for brands and creators in the genuine growth tier.

Lane A · Consumer brands

Middle East DTC consumer brands

Established fashion, beauty, and consumer brands stuck under a revenue ceiling or burning out their creative team. We rebuild account architecture and creative cadence to break the next tier — without crashing CAC.

  • Multi-year retained: KeyCouture (4 yrs), The Walkers (3 yrs), Bex Beauty (regional)
  • Categories: fashion, apparel, beauty, skincare, lifestyle, wellness
  • Lebanon, GCC, Egypt, Pan-Arab, MENA-targeting global brands
Lane B · Creator-led businesses

Pan-Arab creators, coaches, educators

Arabic-speaking creators, coaches, and educators with audiences that monetize. We bring the launch and scale playbook English-speaking creators have used for years — adapted for the Arab world for the first time.

  • Same playbook deployed for Iman Gadzhi and James Smith at Genflow
  • Pre-launch waitlist building, launch-window scaling, evergreen rebuilds
  • Coaches, course-sellers, mastermind operators, community / membership creators
One service: senior Meta paid acquisition + creative direction. Different language for each audience, same operating standard underneath.

The work, not the buzzwords.

Specific capabilities we deploy on every engagement. No "proprietary frameworks" — just the senior-tier operating disciplines we've been running for years.

Account architecture
CBO, ABO, Advantage+, ASC. Audience layering by intent and geography.
Creative direction
Hook variants, statics, UGC scripting, motion. Senior briefing at 5–10× standard volume.
Attribution stack
Hyros, TripleWhale, Northbeam. Server-side tracking + CAPI install.
Funnel diagnostics
Landing page → checkout → post-purchase. Spotting the leaks the platform won't show.
Launch playbook
Pre-launch waitlist → launch-window scaling → evergreen rebuild. Genflow-tested at 7-fig scale.
Bilingual EN + AR
Native operator. Lebanese, GCC, Western codes. The cultural moat Western agencies can't fake.
Reporting cadence
Weekly Loom + numbers. Slack-channel-per-client. Genflow operating standard.
AI-augmented production
Hook generation, image gen, scripted variant testing. Throughput multiplier.

We don't sell a menu. We diagnose and prescribe.

Every engagement starts with a specific problem — not a service catalog. The four most common patterns we solve are below. If your situation looks different, the audit call clarifies what actually fits.

For creator-led businesses
C1 · Pre-Launch Builder Creator

You're launching a course or coaching program in 6–12 weeks

For Pan-Arab creators with 50K+ engaged audience launching their first or next info-product
Your launch is around the corner but your waitlist is too small to drive a real revenue event. DM-based registration only. No paid acquisition infrastructure.
$49 workshop tripwire → $497 mentorship cart funnel built in 2 weeks. Lookalike audiences off your existing engagers. 8–12 creative variants in EN+AR in month 1.
The same launch playbook ran for Iman Gadzhi and James Smith at Genflow — bringing it to the Arabic-speaking world for the first time.
C2 · Account Rescue Creator

Your launches stalled or your ROAS collapsed mid-cycle

For established Arabic-speaking creators with revenue plateauing at $30K–$50K/month
Strong organic, flat revenue. Live-launch dependency, no evergreen. Sporadic boosting visible in Meta Ad Library. No retargeting infrastructure.
30-day diagnostic + restructure. Account architecture rebuild. 12–15 new creative variants in month 1. Modern attribution install. Live-launch dependency converted to evergreen.
$20M+ in personal Meta spend at Genflow. The diagnostic playbook applied to multi-million-dollar launch cycles, now deployed in Arabic.
For consumer brands
E1 · Scale-Out Ecom

Your DTC brand is stuck under the revenue ceiling

For established ME consumer brands at $50K–$200K MRR with growing CAC
Existing campaigns plateaued. Same 4–6 creatives recycled. Multi-store or multi-country with no geo-specific creative. CAC creeping. Internal team can't get past the wall.
Account architecture rebuild (CBO / Advantage+ / audience layering). Brief 12–20 new creative variants/month. AI-augmented production. Post-purchase email/SMS install to capture LTV.
KeyCouture (4-year retained), The Walkers (3-year retained), Bex Beauty (regional scale, celebrity-founded). Same operator on every account.
E2 · Creative Engine Ecom

Your creative team is burned out and ROAS is fading

For ME ecom brands shipping fewer than 10 creative variants/month
Same handful of creatives running for weeks. Creative fatigue is killing ROAS more than audience saturation. In-house team can't keep up with the volume Meta now rewards.
Brief, ship, and test 20+ variants/month at 5–10× your current cadence. AI-augmented production stack. Senior creative direction by an operator who's spent $20M+ on Meta.
Same creative cadence and direction that scaled Bex Beauty regionally and KeyCouture across Lebanon and GCC.

The bridge the region didn't have. Genflow caliber, regional fluency.

No competitor in the Middle East holds both pieces simultaneously. That gap is the entire reason GrowthArc exists.

01

Cultural fluency Western agencies don't have

Native English and Arabic. Lebanese, GCC, and Western codes. Multi-year work inside the Arab consumer economy and the Pan-Arab creator scene. Genflow, NoGood, and VaynerMedia can't run Arabic-language launches. We can.

02

Operational caliber local SMMAs don't have

Genflow operating standard. $20M+ in personal Meta spend. The exact playbook that ran ads for Iman Gadzhi and James Smith. ME shops at our price point operate at junior tier. We operate at senior tier — because that's where we trained.

"Most ME brands either hire local agencies that can't run paid acquisition at caliber, or Western agencies that don't speak the language. GrowthArc is the only operator that does both."

No mystery. Here's exactly what working with us looks like.

Most agencies hide the mechanism behind "book a call to find out." We show our hand. The buyer wants to know how the work actually happens — so we tell them.

01
Week 1

Audit + diagnose

Pixel + CAPI verification. Account architecture review. Meta Ad Library + landing page diagnostic. Attribution sanity check. By end of week 1, you have a written diagnostic of what's broken and what's leaking.

02
Weeks 2–4

Restructure + ship

Rebuild account architecture (CBO / Advantage+ / audience layering). Brief 12–20 new creative variants. Install or rebuild attribution stack. By day 30, the engine is running properly and you know which angles are working.

03
Month 2+

Scale + compound

Stress-test creative cadence. Push toward LTV-optimized campaign structure. Weekly Loom report — never a sit-and-wait monthly meeting. You see the data, the work, and the trajectory every Monday.

The partnership structure. Every engagement runs as a partnership — base retainer + performance component. We win when you win. 6-month minimum commit, 30-day notice after that. The performance component is how we put real skin in the game.

Lebanon HQ. Working across the Arab world.

Operations rooted in Beirut, working with brands and creators across the major MENA markets. Where the buyer shape fits, we work — language, time zone, and cultural fluency are never the barrier.

Run by a senior media buyer, not a salesman with a deck.

Mortada — Founder

Built GrowthArc after several years at Genflow as a media buying manager — running paid acquisition for Iman Gadzhi, James Smith, and the broader Genflow roster. $20M+ in personal Meta spend across that work.

Outside Genflow, the senior marketer behind KeyCouture (4+ yrs), The Walkers (3+ yrs), Bex Beauty, and a roster of other Middle East and worldwide consumer brands across fashion and beauty.

GrowthArc is the agency I wanted to work with from inside Genflow — but didn't exist for the Middle East. So I built it. Lebanon-based, working across the Arab world.

The Pan-Arab creator economy is roughly five to seven years behind English-speaking markets. Same with ME ecom brands at the medium tier. The window to consolidate the senior position before competition catches up is 12 to 18 months.

The things every prospect asks before signing.

Why a 6-month minimum commit?
Senior paid acquisition compounds. Month one is restructure. Month two is calibration. Month three is where the system starts producing reliable data. Month four onward is when scale kicks in. Anything shorter and the work doesn't have time to deliver — you'd be paying us to do diagnostic work and leaving before the payoff. The 6-month minimum protects your investment as much as ours.
Can you guarantee a specific ROAS or revenue number?
No, and any agency that does should worry you. ROAS depends on your product, your offer, your audience, your seasonality, and platform conditions we don't fully control. What we do guarantee: senior operator on the account, structured weekly reporting, the same playbook we ran at Genflow for Iman Gadzhi and James Smith, and partnership-aligned pricing where we're incentivized to outperform.
Do you work with brands outside fashion and beauty?
Yes. Our deepest case studies are in fashion and beauty (KeyCouture, Walkers, Bex Beauty), but the skill is paid acquisition for DTC consumer brands and creator-led businesses. Supplements, F&B, home, wellness, lifestyle — all in scope if your buyer shape and unit economics fit. The 30-minute audit call confirms fit.
Why not just hire Genflow or VaynerMedia directly?
If you're a global brand with a $50K+/month minimum and procurement-driven sales cycles, do that. For Middle East consumer brands and Pan-Arab creators in the genuine growth tier, those agencies either don't take you or take you and assign juniors. GrowthArc is senior-only delivery at a price point that matches our scale band, with the cultural and language fit they can't replicate.
What's the next step?
A 30-minute audit call. We come in having already looked at your brand, your ads, your funnel, and your competitive landscape. No generic deck, no cold-pitch energy. By the end of the call you have a clearer picture of whether GrowthArc is the right fit and what the engagement would actually look like. If yes, we proceed. If no, you walk away with the diagnostic and zero pressure.

Free 30-minute audit. No pitch — just the diagnostic.

Send us the brand or creator. We come in having already looked at the funnel. You leave the call with a written summary of what's working, what's leaking, and what we'd do in the first 90 days.
