Do you offer Insider consulting in Dubai and the UAE?
Yes. Ethos supports Insider users across the UAE, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, from our Dubai and Riyadh teams. We plan, build and run lifecycle journeys on your existing Insider set-up, in Arabic and English.
Do you support Insider in Qatar, Bahrain and Oman?
Yes. We work with brands in Doha, Manama and Muscat, and with groups that operate across several GCC markets. Journeys can be set up per market, with local offers, language and sender rules, while reporting stays in one view.
Can Insider run Arabic, right-to-left and WhatsApp journeys?
Yes. We build right-to-left Arabic templates and English versions for every message, checked by an Ethos writer before sending. Insider supports WhatsApp, so we set up approved message templates, opt-in and quick replies alongside your other channels.
How do you handle data protection on Insider in the UAE and GCC?
We work inside your Insider account and your compliance framework, and we do not copy customer data to Ethos systems. Journeys are consent-checked and designed around the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021), the equivalent laws in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, and free-zone rules such as DIFC and ADGM where they apply. Your legal or data-protection team keeps final sign-off.
Do you also support Insider in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Ethos is headquartered in Riyadh and has worked with Saudi brands for more than a decade. Our Saudi page for Insider covers PDPL, Saudi-dialect content and the local sales calendar in more detail.
How does an Ethos Engage programme on Insider work, and what does it cost?
Engage is a recurring monthly retainer. A setup team designs the programme in months 1–3, then an operations team runs it every day. The fee depends on the number of journeys, channels and markets. Many clients start with one stage, such as activation, retention or win-back, and expand once results are proven.
Insider already gives us account support. What does Ethos add?
Platform account teams help you use the product. Ethos runs your programme: lifecycle strategy, journeys, Arabic and English content, segmentation and measurement, done every day by a dedicated team. We complement your Insider support rather than replace it.

Insider is a cross-channel customer engagement and personalisation platform that combines a CDP, journey builder, web and app personalisation, and messaging across WhatsApp, SMS, email and push. Across the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and the wider Middle East, it is usually run by retailers, banks and telcos across Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the wider region, where it is one of the most widely used engagement platforms.
Insider covers web, app and messaging in one place, which makes it a natural base for lifecycle work, as long as someone owns the plan. Ethos is an independent Insider consultancy with more than 70 specialists across hubs in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Egypt. We are not tied to any platform vendor, so our advice is about results, not licences.
With Ethos Engage, our team runs Insider as a recurring lifecycle programme, on your own account. We build Architect journeys across WhatsApp, SMS, email, push and web, set up on-site and in-app personalisation, create segments from Insider's unified customer profiles and test and report each journey against a control group. WhatsApp is often the strongest channel for Gulf customers. We build WhatsApp flows with approved templates and quick replies next to email, SMS and push.
Every message is written in Arabic and English and checked by an Ethos writer. Every journey has a target and is measured against a control group, so you see the revenue it added, market by market across the GCC.
Ethos Engage is staffed to your scope: a setup team designs the programme in months 1–3, then an operations team runs it every day.
Experience Strategist (setup, months 1–3): designs the lifecycle programme around Insider: use cases, journeys, targets and targeting rules.
Data Architect (setup): maps how your CRM, app and web data connect to the programme: IDs, events and segments.
Engagement Manager (team lead, day to day): builds, launches and optimises every journey, working alongside your team.
MarTech Developer (day to day): builds and maintains the set-up: Architect journeys, web and app SDK events, smart recommendations and API integrations.
Data & Performance Analyst (day to day): loads segments, monitors results and reports each journey against a hold-out group.
UX/UI Designer & Copywriter (day to day): designs and writes every message in Arabic and English.
