Launching the Buraq App - Successful Advertising Campaigns
Introduction
Buraq is a smart app for planning rides that lets you get cheap, safe, and comfortable rides with the touch of a button. Featuring a fleet of well-maintained vehicles driven by professional chauffeurs, Buraq caters to daily commuters seeking premium travel experiences. The brand approached Prism Digital to launch the app in a highly competitive UAE market, specifically targeting medium to high-end users in Sharjah. The goal was to generate strong brand awareness and drive a significant number of app installs during the launch phase.
Pain Points
Market Saturation
Entering the UAE ride-hailing market, which is already very full and competitive, was very hard for Buraq App. It was hard to stand out among well-established players.
Brand Awareness
With low brand recognition in a new and crowded segment, Buraq struggled to earn trust and visibility among potential users unfamiliar with the service.
Niche Targeting
Buraq needed to target a specific demographic—medium to high-end users in Sharjah—requiring a hyper-focused, localized marketing strategy to resonate with this unique audience.
KPI Pressure
The brand faced intense pressure to meet aggressive KPIs for reach, engagement, and app installs, demanding rapid execution and a results-driven digital strategy.

Omni-Channel Launch Campaign
Prism Digital developed and executed a comprehensive launch strategy leveraging Google and social media platforms to maximize visibility and app installs.

Dubai Receives A Successful Digital Launch For An Egypt Based Luxury Property Advisory Business.
Kemet Prime Property Advisory is a Dubai-based luxury real estate firm specialising in off-plan properties across the UAE's most prestigious communities like Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Business Bay, Creek Harbour, and Dubai Hills. Their positioning is built on trust, restraint, and expertise as they curate the right property for the right buyer, without the pressure tactics common elsewhere in the market.
When Kemet came to Prism Digital, they had no website. Every enquiry that came from a buyer doing their research online was being lost before it began. They needed a digital presence that reflected the quality of the properties they represent, the credentials of the team behind them, and the seriousness with which they approach every client relationship.
What followed was a three-week engagement that delivered a fully-featured, high-performance luxury real estate website with a 100/100 PageSpeed score on desktop, 98 on mobile, and an SEO-ready landing page structure targeting Dubai's highest-intent property searches from day one.
