Pricing and Plans | Santa Media Dubai
Santa Media is transparent about pricing because we hate scope creep as much as our clients do. Below is the working range across our six service lines — growth strategy, brand identity, website design, content creation, social media management and digital marketing — plus the one-off project tiers and templated assets we offer for teams not yet ready for a retainer. All figures are USD; we invoice in AED, SAR or USD depending on your jurisdiction and we are VAT-compliant in the UAE.
What is included in every engagement
- A named senior strategy lead — not an account manager fronting junior work
- A written 90-day plan with KPIs, owners and budget allocation
- Monthly performance review and quarterly strategic refresh
- An always-on Slack channel with the production team
- Bilingual capability (Arabic + English) at no premium
- Live dashboard refreshed daily — no PDFs, no vanity decks
- 30-day notice on retainers (no 12-month lock-ins)
- Full transferable rights on all creative output

Who this is for
If you are a founder needing a single project (a logo, a landing page, a launch shoot), our project tiers and templated products start at $40. If you are scaling and need a programme — content + ads + brand + reporting in one place — our retainers begin at $1,500/month for focused single-channel work and run into mid five-figures for full-stack growth. We do not work with anyone needing media buying under $3,000/month in spend; the algorithms do not learn fast enough to justify the management fee.

Frequently asked questions
Why do you publish ranges instead of fixed prices?
Because every engagement is scoped to a specific brief — a logo for a brand new venture is not the same as a rebrand for a 25-outlet F&B group. Publishing fixed prices forces clients into the wrong tier. The ranges show you the floor and ceiling honestly, and the proposal locks the exact number once we understand the scope.
Do you offer payment plans?
For retainers we invoice monthly in advance. For projects above $10,000 we typically structure 50% on signature, 25% at midpoint, 25% on delivery. For longer engagements (Shopify replatforms, enterprise rebrands) we agree milestone-based billing in the SOW. We are flexible for early-stage founders with cash-flow constraints — just tell us up front.
Are your prices in AED or USD?
Quoted in USD by default for clarity, invoiced in AED, SAR or USD depending on where you are billed. UAE-based clients receive an AED invoice with 5% VAT added per Federal Tax Authority requirements. KSA clients receive a SAR invoice with 15% VAT where applicable.
What is the minimum engagement?
Templated assets and one-off projects: no minimum, the price is the price. Retainers: 90-day initial term so we have enough runway to move a number, then continue month-to-month with 30-day notice. We do not lock clients into 12-month contracts; if the work is not earning its keep, you should be able to walk.
Do you charge for proposals or pitches?
No. The discovery call, scope conversation and written proposal are free. We do charge for paid pre-engagement diagnostics — full marketing audits, brand strategy workshops or competitive teardowns — when a client wants depth before signing a retainer. Those are quoted up front and creditable against the first three months of work if you proceed.
Do you work with businesses outside Dubai?
Yes. About 60% of our work is UAE-based, 25% is KSA, and the remainder spans Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. We invoice across the GCC and travel for shoots, workshops and pitches when the project requires it.
