If you're still chasing likes, clicks, and impressions, you are playing yesterday’s game. In the GCC alone, digital ad spend is expected to reach over $6 billion by 2026, but without real-time ROI tracking, attribution and first-party data, most of it goes to waste.
The smarter brands? They are changing their approach and ditching vanity metrics for high-intent conversations, using Ads that click , Meta CAPI, and custom audiences that convert.
Marketers across Saudi Arabia and the Middle East are pouring billions into digital ads, and yet few can say with confidence what those clicks actually lead to. According to Forrester, global enterprise ad spend has crossed $600 billion, but engagement remains minimal. Impressions are high, but conversions lag. Why?
Because consumers today want more than flashy and virality-driven creatives. They want real-time, personalized, two-way interactions on the platforms they already use. In Saudi Arabia, where WhatsApp, Instagram, and mobile-first behaviors dominate, expectations are even higher. People expect brands to be present, responsive, relevant, and in the moment. That’s where conversational marketing steps in!
Conversational marketing is a strategy that uses real-time, personalized conversations to move customers through the buying journey. Instead of static landing pages and long forms, it adapts and utilizes channels like WhatsApp, Messenger, and chatbots to create dynamic customer-first experiences.
Unifonic’s Conversational Marketing solution enables this shift by helping marketers engage leads instantly, qualify them through automated flows, and convert interest into action, all within a single conversation.
As Saudi Arabia pushes for digital transformation, marketers aren’t just expected to show up but are constantly expected to deliver. The pressure’s on to not only reach the right audience, but keep them engaged across platforms, drive loyalty that lasts, and turn every interaction into measurable ROI. The Saudi market is primed for conversational experiences because of:
However, most marketing funnels still rely on outdated journeys: a social ad click leads to a generic page, followed by a form, and a delayed response, if any. That disconnect creates drop-offs. High-intent leads bounce. Valuable data is lost. ROI remains untraceable.
Despite massive ad spend, most digital journeys still fall flat while being stuck on static landing pages, forms, and closed systems. For Saudi consumers used to fast, mobile-first service, that is friction you can’t afford. Worse? ROI is harder than ever to track. Here’s why:
Skip the traditional formfill approach . With Unifonic, every Meta ad becomes a direct WhatsApp chat. One tap and you're talking. Whether it’s an Instagram ad, a banner or a QR code on a flyer, C2WA lets customers connect instantly. In Saudi Arabia, where WhatsApp is the go-to for everything, this just works better.
You might ask how? Well, it’s simple. Unifonic solves this with a holistic platform built for the MENA market, including:
Start the conversation the moment someone taps an Instagram or Facebook ad. Instead of sending traffic to a static page, Click-to-WhatsApp ads launch direct chats with your brand on a channel users already trust.
Unifonic’s Chatbot Builder lets marketers create, launch, and fine-tune conversation-driven campaigns without even writing a single line of code. Everything you need is in one place: chatbot creation, contact center management, and campaign orchestration, all working together seamlessly.
Here’s what’s on the table:

Let’s face it! People don’t want to be “converted.” They want to be seen, heard, and answered in real time.
