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

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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
