Ethos is a Riyadh-based, independent Intercom consultancy serving brands across Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. Through Ethos Engage, our team plans, builds, sends and measures lifecycle journeys built on your Intercom data in Saudi Arabic and English, designed around PDPL, on the set-up you already own.

Intercom is a customer service and messaging platform with an AI agent, help centre and in-product messages. In Saudi Arabia, from Riyadh and Jeddah to Dammam and Al Khobar, it is usually run by product-led and tech-forward companies.

Ethos is headquartered in Riyadh and has worked with Saudi brands for more than a decade. As an independent Intercom consultancy, we are not tied to any platform vendor, so our advice is about results, not licences.

What Ethos Provides

With Ethos Engage, our Riyadh team connects Intercom to a recurring lifecycle programme. We design onboarding and product tours, set up in-app messages and series, connect Intercom data to lifecycle journeys and measure activation and retention.

Messages are written in Saudi Arabic and English, consent-checked and built around PDPL and your regulator's rules. Each journey is measured against a control group and planned around the Saudi calendar, from Ramadan and Eid to National Day and salary week.

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 Intercom: use cases, journeys, targets and targeting rules.
Data Architect (setup): maps how tickets, chats and contact outcomes 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 in Riyadh.
MarTech Developer (day to day): builds and maintains the set-up: Intercom series, data attributes, events and APIs.
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 (Saudi dialect where it fits) and English.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a Intercom team in Riyadh?

Yes. Ethos is headquartered in Riyadh and supports Intercom users across Saudi Arabia, including Jeddah, Dammam and Al Khobar. Our team works on-site or remotely, in Arabic and English.

How do you handle Saudi PDPL on Intercom?

We design Intercom journeys around the Personal Data Protection Law overseen by SDAIA: a lawful basis and consent for marketing, easy opt-out, minimum data and controls on transfers outside the Kingdom. Customer data stays in your Intercom account and approved environments, and sector rules such as SAMA guidance for banks and CST rules for SMS sender IDs are added at kick-off. Your data-protection team keeps final sign-off.

Can Intercom send Saudi-dialect Arabic and WhatsApp messages?

Yes. We build right-to-left Arabic templates and English versions for every message, checked by an Ethos writer before sending. We write in Saudi dialect where your brand voice allows, and in formal Arabic where it does not. Intercom supports WhatsApp, so we set up approved message templates, opt-in and quick replies alongside your other channels.

Do you plan Intercom journeys around the Saudi calendar?

Yes. The engagement plan is built around Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Founding Day, Saudi National Day, White Friday, back-to-school and salary week, with quiet hours and frequency caps that respect prayer times and local habits.

Do you also support Intercom in the UAE and the GCC?

Yes. Ethos also operates from Dubai and supports Intercom users in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Groups that run several GCC markets can keep one programme with market-specific journeys.

How does an Ethos Engage programme on Intercom work, and what does it cost?

Engage is a recurring monthly retainer, invoiced in Saudi riyals through our Saudi entity. A setup team designs the programme in months 1–3, then an operations team runs it every day. The fee depends on journeys, channels and scope. Many clients start with one stage, such as activation, retention or win-back, and expand once results are proven.

Can Intercom do lifecycle marketing on its own?

Intercom handles in-product and support messaging well. For full lifecycle work we combine it with email, push or WhatsApp journeys, either inside Intercom or through your engagement platform.
